Heartspeak & Soulspeak by Ysone (PG-13)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: None, Gen
Length: 10’547 and 14’205 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Ysone’s Fanfic & Stuff
Author’s Summary:
One story, told from two points of view. Heartspeak, the first part, is told from Blair's perspective as he overhears a conversation that is not intended for his ears. Soulspeak, Jim's side of the story, attempts to show that things aren't always as they seem. Should be read together and in order.
Why this must be read:
If you like angst then this is a worthwhile read for you. In the aftermath of what Blair’s overheard he makes a conscious effort to fit into the role described by Jim (and the gang) and becomes the quiet and obedient man he thinks they want, in the meantime, Jim struggles to connect and understand what’s wrong with his partner as he deals with a difficult case. For me, the main appeal of this story (apart from the angst obviously) was the storytelling style. Instead of the usual flitting between POV’s in one lengthy story we got to see a good chunk of the storyline unfold from one perspective and then once it hit a pivotal moment, it switched viewpoint; the result imo is a more intense and personal experience, one which projects the character’s anguish, behaviour and reactions in a realistic and heartfelt manner.
