DETOUR by Emily Brunson (NC-17)

[writerlibrarian]

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ:janissa11
Author Website: Emland
Why this must be read:

This is an AU of the What if variety. What if Jim never went to meet Blair at the University.

It's a long, detailed story about friendship, trust and the power of being able to still be amazed. Most of the pieces and characters that we love or hate are there. They are just shifted a little to make a new puzzle.

I fell in love with this story enough to buy it in zine format (digest). It's one of the few I kept from the fire sale Idid two years ago.

If you haven't read this one go; if you have, it's fun to reread something well written and entertaining.

You can also find a zip version or a web version of the story at Emland if the archive doesn't cooperate. Which happens sometimes.

Comments always welcome.

I'd love to read the story, it sounds great. The link to the story didn't work for me and the link to her website you gave is broken. It leads to a page that merely says, "real content coming soon".

I checked her journal. The correct link to her website is http://www.ebrunson.com/janissa/ (http://www.ebrunson.com/janissa/). The story is there, so I'm off to read it.
