A Golden Opportunity by Dolimir (slash)

[bluewolf458.livejournal.com]

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 16375 words
Author on LJ: dolimir_k
Author Website: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Dolimir
Why this must be read: - At the start of this AU, Blair has not yet made contact with Jim. Urged by Eli Stoddard, who feels Blair needs to relax a bit, he writes a novel. He's heard rumours on campus about a new designer drug, Golden, so takes that for his plot...

Dolimir is an excellent writer who mixes canon with her storyline brilliantly. This is a well-paced story that shows Blair's strengths as well as his insecurities. It has a Jim who is a little more open than he often is in canon, but that, IMO, is a big plus. Like all of Dolimir's stories, this is a very satisfactory read.

Unfortunately Dolimir recently chose to drop out of fandom, at least for the time being. She'll be missed.

She certainly will be missed, she's a great author whose given us some fantastic stories over time, this one is only one among many. Great rec.

Thanks for the rec. I really like long stories like this!

You might want to alter the link - it takes you to the right place on AO3 but points out that since the Sentinel fics were imported to AO3 the link should be changed.

I did check it but missed the bit about changing the link. Changed now, thanks.

Praise where it's due. There's another of your stories I'm planning on reccing - not this time, but possibly next. No, I'm not telling you what it is :-)

How're you doing these days? I did check your DW account recently but there didn't seem to be anything new on it?

RL is kicking me in the teeth. I don't want to post if all I do is whine, ya know? Haven't written in ages. We'll see if I can get over my health and work issues and get back to writing.

Thanks again for reccing. I sometimes forget that people still read my stuff.

[bluewolf458.livejournal.com]

Of course we do!

Good luck with the RL issues.

Glad you liked it! Yeah, I think Dolimir (and Rimilod, her gen alter ego) is one of Sentinel's great writers.

What a great story! Thank you for this rec, it was not a fic I knew.

Isn't it great when a Crack Van rec introduces you to a new story!
