Pairing: Jim/Blair

Author Website: AO3, Author Site
Why this must be read:

Author's Summary : As the dawn light began to trickle into the loft, Jim lay in bed and studied the bruises marking Blair's body.

This fic is one of those that is layered, complex, and captivating from word one. The author captures the audience with her central theme of scars, both the physical and the emotional, that all our characters have now. Scars from physical harm, scars from finding one's new place in a hard world, scars from broken relationships, scars from guilt, scars from abandonment... All are present in this masterpiece. There's also a wonderful mentor story, a second!Sentinel twist, and a true coming together of our two favorite guys.

Wow, well thank you. It's actually been awhile since I read actively in the fandom so I'm just glad I was able to share some lovely fics.

This is another great story and new to me. I enjoyed reading that very much, with its interesting mix of action and introspection.
Thank you for the rec!

Thanks so much for the very kind rec! I was wondering where all the kudos and kind comments were coming from, and someone pointed me over here. :)

Just one note - I do have a website here (http://www.puddle-wonderful.ca/). I'm only mentioning because a lot of my Sentinel work at my site contains illustrations that isn't available on the AO3.
