Previous Loves by Otter
I can't believe this one has never been recced. I've loved it since I first found it, ages ago.
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 50100 words
Author on LJ: Not known
Author Website: http://www.852prospect.org
Why this must be read: -
This story follows Sentinel Too. In it, Jim wasn't the first sentinel Blair had met; part of his childhood had been spent with a sentinel-guide pair who were pretty well his foster parents, and his first sentinel was their twin son and daughter, Artie and Teddie, who between them had all five senses. They had been a threesome, and Teddie had given Blair a son, Gus-Gus; but all three are now dead.
When Blair is released from hospital he goes to his foster parents (Jim having thrown him out of the loft); his foster mother (the sentinel of the pair) takes him to a cabin they own in Canada. But then Jim, missing his guide, begins to have problems...
One warning - the story does involve the death of a recurring character, though it happens 'off-screen' as it were.
Otter has built a convincing world here, where sentinels and guides are, if not actually common (though the general public don't know about them) at least not as rare as in canon, even though the story doesn't expand on how many there might be; it's implied, not stated. This is a story about love and learning to trust and it always leaves me feeling good.
