Ocean, Moon by Lemon Drop (PG)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: Fanfiction by quercus/Lemon Drop

Why this must be read:

There are hundreds and hundreds of stories speculating about what may have happened after the series finale. Did Blair go to the academy? Did he become a cop? Regardless of what he ended up doing, it makes sense to me that he would grieve for the academic life he left behind.

Giving up such a major part of his life - for all that it was his choice to do so - must have been a wrenching loss. And as with any loss, chosen or not, you have to grieve before you can go on. Lemon Drop writes a very believable account of how Blair may have mourned the life he walked away from.

Does this mean Ocean, Moon is a depressing story? No, I promise you it isn't. Although it deals with his depression, it's ultimately a hopeful story of Blair getting through the pain of the life-changing events of TSbBS and seeing the possibilities now in front of him - including new possibilities in his relationship with Jim.

Ocean, Moon

How timely! I am teetering on the brink of my periodic "must read every one of her TS stories" phase... we'll see if you've succeeded in pushing me over. ;-)

Lemon Drop is on my "periodically re-read everything" list along with - at the moment, anyways - Kass... the stories are just so beautifully written. And it's been a while on this one, thanks!
