Sentinel

[Jim/Blair]

Jim/Blair

Dork by Francesca and Miriam [Jim/Blair]
So uh, I've bored you to tears before going on about how pretty much everyone in this house is incredibly attracted to nerds, right? In a big way? Yeah. And while I've been reading Sentinel fic cautiously (I'm not even done season 2, and I only have up to the first 3 of season 3) this is the first one I've actually felt the need to rec. It's really smooth, with a solid progression. It avoids problems that I've seen crop up in multiple fandoms as general fannish issues, side-stepping them neatly, and the characterization seems pretty good to me. I could really picture the events and characters clearly. Smooth.

Middle Ground by Maggie B [Jim/Blair]
This is a FT piece that deals with some neat social issues and only grazes things that I get bored with in fandom-- it does a really solid job on Jim for the most part. It's not perfect, but it's close enough that you can ignore a few tiny things that don't fit. And the pay off is worth it.

Refugee Status by Lamardeuse [Jim/Blair]
I'd forgotten how good and angsty and involved Sentinel fic could be! I mean, not super angsty, but it's kind of complicated and pulls at all these tiny details of character and possible outcomes. This was really just what I needed.

Wine, Women and Schlong by Brighid [Jim/Blair]
Apparently the sisterhood had gotten the word out. In a weird sort of way, it was a little comforting. At least women were still interested. They just assumed he wasn't.
