Sentinel Slash by Merry
A Quiet War - In which Jim and Blair misunderstand one another on almost every level, leading to much angst and suffering and then, eventually, less suffering, and then breakfast.People Like You - In which Blair fails to eat popcorn, and Jim fails to exercise tact.
Falling Farther In - In which Jim and Blair deal with the aftermath of TSbyBS in a dark and angsty manner altogether non-representative of the author's actual feelings about how they might actually deal with the aftermath of TSbyBS if they were actual people or if they were, for instance, in some other kind of story.
Situational Ethics - An X-Files Xover. In which Blair recieves a surprising phone call, Mulder meets his tragic fate, Krycek wears leather and handcuffs, and Jim is barely mentioned.
Water On Stone - In which Jim comforts Blair after a nightmare, and Blair comforts Jim after an argument. No breakfast foods were harmed during the creation of this (first time!) story.
Edges - In which a tacit understanding is shattered when Blair pisses Jim off by saving his silly skin.
Storms of Winter - In which Jim and Blair go camping and absolutely nothing goes wrong. In fact, quite a number of things go amazingly right. First time story -- tell me you're surprised.
Days Like These - In which a lazy morning in bed finds Jim helping Blair dispose of all his worldly goods while simultaneously discussing the automotive merits of the Geo Prism vs. Volvos -- with Simon. My first *non* first time story!
Promises - In which there is neither plot nor redeeming social value to distract from the main theme of the story, which is, Jim and Blair make mad, passionate love for the first time.
Bright Destiny
I. Cosmic Irony - In which Jim and Blair find luv at the Star of theAmerican Road.
II. KarmicJustice - Sequel to Cosmic Irony. In which Steve Young's qualifications as a guide are discussed as a prelude to much angst and a dismaying lack of discretion.Major Crimes - In which Blair is much aggrieved at breakfast by Jim's response to his desperate confession, and a lot of stuff happens after that, and everybody lives happily ever after.
In the Absence of Justice - In which the death of a serial killer has lasting consequences for Blair; first time story, lots of angst. First time.
Interlude - In which a pleasant evening by the fire becomes suddenly a great deal more pleasant than Jim or Blair expected. Did I mention this is a first time story?
Independence Day - In which a 4th of July Challenge is answered with a touch of angst and a happy ending. Do you think this could be a first time story, too? It's a fairly good bet.
The Sensitivity Factor - In which Blair thinks he's being sneaky, but has *nothing* on the devious nature of a sentinel...
Auto Erotica - In which Jim's taste in vehicles is called into question, most notably his fondness for teal. Long live the Mommy Car! A first time story. (as if you hadn't guessed.)
Memory Lapse - In which a departmental award ceremony for Major Crime leads to even more action in Jim's truck. And guess what? It's another first time story!
Sentinel Gen
The Heart Hath its Reasons - In which the Major Crime department raises bickering to an art form, and events of a dire nature are visited upon just about everybody. Kind of my tribute to Lee Brackett, who does not, in fact, appear in this story at all.The Stepford Guide - In which we learn that there is nothing so frightening to a sentinel than a guide on his best behavior.
Leaving - In which Blair's expedition to the Southern Wilds brings Jim and Blair to an understanding about their partnership.
An Ethereal Glow - In which it becomes clear that caffeine and smarm can not peacefully coexist. This story is not my fault. (written with Kareila)
The Interiors Duology
I. Things Fall Apart - In which Sentinel Too is resolved to Merry's satisfaction, without recourse to theologically insupportable animal spirit guides or guest star appearances by dead Chopec shamans.
II. Metaphysics - In which Blair goes home after the events of Things Fall Apart and bullies Jim about the furniture. Also, in which much angst is resolved amid guyish ambiguity and bonding behavior.The Domesticity Series
I: House Rules - In which Blair stares down his toothbrush while contemplating the existence of extraterrestrial anthropologists. A sweetly non-referential missing scene from The Debt.
II: The Infinite Circularity of Donuts - In which the superiority of eggs is called into question. More sweetness and light. What can I say? It's a sickness.
