“Worth Your While” by Mab (teen and up)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg
Length: 960 words
Author on LJ: [personal profile] mab_browne
Author Website: on Artifact Storage Room 3

Why this must be read:

Jim in a pinstripe suit and Blair in leather is pretty hot.

The author’s summary states: “Jim and Blair are a study in contrasts.” And they are, especially in this delightful little story they are dressed contrastingly. Each is heading for a different social occasion. Jim is going to his father’s seventieth birthday celebration. Blair can’t go along with him, because he’s been invited to the engagement party for some friends of his. The theme of the party is “leather and lace” and as Blair tells Jim, he’s not the “lace type” so he’s decked out in tight leather pants. Jim, on the other hand, is wearing more conservative attire, a suit.

This story has Jim and Blair in an established relationship and they enjoy the view each of them presents as they prepare to go to their respective parties. Blair decides that he wants Jim to come pick him up from his party so that his friends can see how attractive Blair’s boyfriend is. Jim isn’t so sure, especially since Blair is going to drive himself to his party in his own car. But Blair convinces him it would be a good idea anyway.

Mab’s Jim and Blair are adorably recognizable and in her hands the two of them are in love and happy, just the way we’d like them to be. No angst here, just cheerful plans for a hot time after they get home. And what could be better than that?
