Song of the Rolling Earth by PsychGirl (PG13)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: pre-Jim/Blair
Length: ~17,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] snycock
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:

Author's Summary : Set in the American West in the 1860's, this is the story of how Blair Sandburg became a Pony Express rider, and met his destiny along the way.

I adore a great historical AU, and this one fits the bill beautifully. Rich in detail, the reader is smack dab in the middle of an Old West town and a Pony Express way station. We feel the power of Blair's horse and smell the smoke of the fire that set Blair on his path. Action flows smoothly from scenario to scenario, from building of Blair's background to the foundations of his relationship with Jim and the Sentinel addition to the story. While the ending does leave a LOT of room for future stories, the main point of getting Blair established in the Pony Express and in his new life is accomplished with aplomb. I thoroughly enjoyed this AU, and hope the author decides to add more to the world.
