The Sentinel/Calvin and Hobbes (G)

Title: Through the I.U.I. by Starwatcher
Characters: Blair Sandburg, Jim Ellison, Hobbes
Length: 6100 words

Author Website: at Dreamwidth and at AO3

Why this must be read: This is a cute epilogue/sequel/missing scene for a Calvin & Hobbes story written by Dolimir, which can be found here. In Dolimir’s story, Calvin and Hobbes, as they grow up, theorize that they can interact with each other (but no one else can) because they exist in separate planes of existence, but occupy the same space. They decide to become brilliant scientists when they grow up in order to figure out how to join the two existences. Starwatcher’s story starts with Hobbes successfully appearing in our universe and, purely by chance wouldn’t you know, ending up on Rainier’s campus.

Starwatcher writes mostly lovely slice-of-life stories that cover interesting subjects. And what could be more interesting (or more improbable), than Blair and Jim meeting the so-called imaginary friend of a little boy? I certainly would not have though this crossover possible, but she makes it work. I like that it takes the talents of both Jim and Blair to fix the situation. Enjoy.

Had to sneak in and say how happy I am that you enjoyed my story; thank you!

<g> I have a collection of stuffed animals too, and it would be fun to have them alive -- if they stayed friendly!

And yes, Calvin and Hobbes was always fun.

I'm bouncing that you consider my story 'brilliant'; thank you!

I credit Dolimir for the idea, though; she wrote such great Sentinel stories, and her C&H just spoke to me.

Thanks for reading.
