brainchild by wax jism (unrated)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg
Length: 1200 words
Author on LJ: wax_jism

Why this must be read:

This story is painful, raw, brutal and definitely needs several trigger warnings. It is also beautifully written and Jim's sentinel awareness is at the core of it. I highly recommend the story and the rest of my rec is under the cut along with the trigger warning. Don't click if you'd prefer to be completely unspoiled.

The story immediately opens with Blair's sudden death. The rest of the story is simply Jim's reaction to it. Because of his greater sensory awareness, Jim is painfully aware of the difference between Blair being dead and his body not realizing it yet. In that split lies madness. Trigger warning (highlight to read): Cannibalism.

I remember the first time someone told me about this fic, I was all, 'You what? He what?!'. But then I read it eventually, and it sadly makes perfect sense as an ultimate expression of popular fanon tropes.

Yeah. It's very sad but if I'm focusing on Jim's non-ordinary reality, this fits the theme so well.
