After the events of 'The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg', Blair turns down the detective's badge. Jim comes to a hard decision of his own. This story features beautiful art by Helvetica
Thank you to Helvetica for her gorgeous art. I don't know why she picked me but I'm certainly grateful.
Thank you also to Psychgirl, Raine, Tesserae, Jamethiel and Merlin, all of whom took a look at this and made useful suggestions.
I wrote this for the 2011 Sentinel Big Bang, which was organised by Briarwood and Patt Rose. Thank you for your hard work.
Helvetica's art can also be viewed in this LJ entry.

This art was originally hosted on Elaine's slashzone domain which went down as at late 2018. The art is now available at this WordPress site:

Please note that the other art features Jim in his underwear, and Jim and Blair embracing. Warning or advertisement, as you prefer.
