Absolute Power by Russet McMillan (R)
Fandom:THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Blair Sandburg/Original Male Character
Length: 3000 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://users.apo.nmsu.edu/~mcmillan/stories/sen.html
Why this must be read:
One of the tropes in Sentinel fandom is that sometimes heightened senses make Jim more vulnerable. This story shows us just how ruthlessly Blair understands that.
When a middle-eastern terrorist shows up in Cascade, it turns out he's a sentinel with his own ideas on how to protect his people. Lured into a trap and deliberately zoned, Jim is helpless and Blair has to save him.
"You won. Like you said, his life is forfeit. And I'm forfeit. I'm yours now." I went smoothly to my knees and bowed my head, just a few feet from Jim's motionless figure. God, I hope he can't hear this, I was thinking.
There was a pause of a few seconds; I had Malik intrigued. "What would I want with you?" he asked.
"You're a Sentinel. I'm a Guide. I can help you."
"You weren't much help to this man."
Since that was exactly what I had been thinking, it took me a few seconds to come up with the right response. "Well . . . it wasn't my place to interfere in the combat between two Sentinels. Now that it's over, I belong to the winner."

One thing I ALWAYS wished for was a sequel. You KNOW it was begging for a sequel. Did jim know what happened in the warehouse? I cant imagine he would be TOO pleased either way with all his hangups etc.
what happens when they go home?

A sequel would have been fun but I kind of like Blair's tension left as is. So many possibilities, like Schrodinger's relationship. *g* I can understand why Blair did the tickle thing but he was bragging/proving to Jim that he had control over him and Jim's not going to deal well with that. Hmm... okay, yeah, a sequel would have been interesting since my mind is apparently playing it out as angsty. Hopefully, Russet McMillan's take would have resolved more happily.
