Failure to thrive by Legion (NC-17)

[writerlibrarian]

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: Not that I'm aware of
Author Website: Legion's recent work
Why this must be read:

A Jim centric story with a Blair POV. Legion takes a Sentinel fanfic cliche (Jim needing to anchor his sense with Blair and that Blair can't leave him without dire results) and makes it believable.

This pushes one of my "button": Blair angst and Jim suffering. There's plenty of it, weaved into a skeleton plot that is interesting as a catalyst for the real plot : the bond between Jim and Blair and its consequences for both of them.

This is one of my favorite Legion's stories. I like the medical thread in this story. It makes the results of Blair's and Jim's actions believable in fictional context.

Since Legion has not been rec already I'm really happy to be able to suggest this story. In the same genre, Twenty-one days pushes the same buttons.

Excellent rec! How horribly negligent of me that I forgot it last month. Thank,s for posting it here :)

There are so many excellent stories to choose from. I picked this one but there are like at least 5 stories by Legion that are excellent in different categories. I'm currently on a Jim centric kick. So probably a few more recs are going to be Jim focused. Probably some AU's
