Heartbeats by J.M. Griffin (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: Not that I'm aware of
Author Website: Archived at 852 Prospect
Why this must be read:
This is a Jim centric story and a kiddie fic. I usually stay away from kids fic but this story took on two challenges:
One : not make Jim jump off a tall building when Blair leaves after "The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg" (and trying his hand at being a cop) because of the "bond" between sentinel and guide.
Two: J. M. Griffin created a nice kid that fit with and in Jim's life : Eli, Blair's son.
I do have a soft spot for Jim centric stories. This one is interesting, has nice plot twists, manages to have all the usual suspects who moved on with their lifes: Megan, Rafe, Simon, etc.
It's not without its flaws but it's a good portrayal of Jim. Not mushy, comfortable and it's kinda sweet to see Jim has a father. I think the fact that Richard Burgi had a nice rapport with kids on the serie helped a lot in the way writers can portray Jim has a father figure.
