To Be A Man by cernicalo (Explicit)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 63,551
Author on LJ: Not known
Author's website: on AO3
Why this must be read:
This is a long, angst-ridden story that deals with a violent rape (Blair's) and combines the story of the aftermath of the rape with a tense, well thought out casefic. In my opinion the real strength of the story lies in the description of the effect of the rape on Blair's self-image and sense of himself as a man and the way he has to deal with that. The author writes this in a very emotionally honest way. There are no shortcuts to recovery here: this is a harrowing and painful read but I think a worthwhile one.
