Watermark and Wellspring (sequel) by Tate (PG)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: none
Length: 31K and 40K words
Author on LJ:
Author Website: Tate at the Idol Pursuits site
Why this must be read: Because it’s probably a more logical conclusion to SenToo Part One, albeit one that wouldn’t have fit the time slot or the action/adventure dynamics of the show. It’s what I refer to as a “left-turn AU”: a story that starts in canon but breaks away and goes down a different path.
In “Watermark”, Jim still raises Blair from the dead, but Blair is in a coma for six weeks and comes out a changed man. In point of fact, no one remains unaffected in this angsty “epilogue” that has a large dose of H/C and skirts the edges of TS smarm**. Well, perhaps more than skirts the edges; YMMV.
“Wellspring” picks up immediately after and is told from Jim’s POV. There’s an interesting case story and another big dose of smarm. Enjoy.
**For anyone unfamiliar with the term as it applies to the fandom, it’s strong male friendship expressed through physical and/or emotional affection.
