Twice in a Lifetime by Romslinger

[bluewolf458.livejournal.com]

bluewolf458 arriving a couple of days late this month - I lost my broadband connection on Saturday, and just got it back this morning. So here's the rec I'd originally meant to post on Sunday...

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 17285 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: http://www.852prospect
Why this must be read: - This is a sort-of post-TSbyBS story. Blair chose not to take the badge, went to England to get his doctorate... and Jim was killed in a shoot-out. Now, twenty miserable years later, Blair dies... and is sent back, in his older persona, with three days to put all that went wrong right again.

For this older Blair, returning to the days before Jim's death is more than bitter-sweet. His mission is a difficult one - somehow he has to persuade his earlier self to be in the right place at the right time, without revealing anything of what he knows...

Romslinger has handled the theme very smoothly, turning a death story into one of hope...
