Solitude by Sammy (R)
My apologies for being distracted from my reccing duties this month. I'll be making up for it during the coming week.
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg
Length: 4,000 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Sammy's stories at 852 Prospect Archive
Why this must be read:
This story is a Crossroads episode tag. At Jim's insistence, Blair and Simon have gone back to Cascade and left Jim to go camping on his own. In the wilderness, Jim can experience his senses in ways he can't afford to in civilization. At the end of the week Jim heads home, back to the loft, back to the city, back to his work as a sentinel. When he arrives, Blair's not there and there's an envelop on the table.
He had listened to caterpillars eating their way through big, fat, green leaves for hours, and then he had turned his head all of a sudden, and the sparkle of the sun on the rippling waters of the lake had caught his attention, and so he had watched it, unmoving, until the dancing reflections turned from the silvery midday brightness to the soft red glow of the early evening. Once or twice he had even forgotten to eat, but that had been okay, too, because once he had remembered the necessity of it, the by then unexpected tastes had exploded in his mouth like nothing he had ever experienced, and one time he had nearly cried out with the sheer joy about a simple sensation that was so intense, so much sweeter than even lovemaking could be.
Solitude
And a sequel: Waking Up In The Arms Of A Loved One

There's probably been twenty or thirty Crossroads stories but I liked Jim's take on this one in his decision to stay. Thanks for pointing it out.
