Take Seven
Jim/Blair -- PG -- 20K
Jim meets Blair for the first time. And then he meets Blair for the first time. And then ...
Huge massive enormous fluffy lightly-sweetened mounds of beta thanks to
cesperanza, and additional brainstorming help from
astolat and
cmshaw. Oh! Forgot to mention the usefulness of
kassrachel's link to the List Of Useful Quechua Phrases.
Written for the Getting A Sense Of Cliches challenge on
ts_ficathons, which has generated lots of wonderful stuff; the master list of stories is here.
Sorry there's no smut. I wanted to write smut. I'm craving Sentinel smut now. This ficathon has really left me feeling the Sentinel love this week.
I've been re-reading all my old favorites -- Cesca's "Nothing On" and "I Love You" and Ces and Miriam's "Dork," Helen's "Seemingly Impermeable," shalott's "World Burning Down," something by Anna that might or might not have been titled by the filename I saved it under (which was "Sex"), Lyrica's "Behind the Storm We feel," Aristide's "Solitary Creatures."
I was surprised to discover that five or six years later I still had a lot of scenes almost memorized, and embarrassed to find a lot of phrases that I can remember using in my own stories. Who knows how many of these people I've stolen from without knowing it.
Sentinel was my second fandom, and the first one I ever wrote anything in. And, man, if you wanted to learn how to write smut, there was absolutely nowhere better to be than Sentinel in 1999. I mean, look at those names. It's a Who's Who of Hot.
