Fic: Worth It (Adult)
TITLE: Worth It
RATING: Adult
FANDOM: The Sentinel
PAIRING: Jim/Blair.
SUMMARY: "Any time you wake up with your mouth full of cloth and ropes around your wrists and ankles, you can be sure it's not going to be a good day."
DISCLAIMER: Don't own 'em, never will. But good luck suing me: I'm broke.
WARNINGS: This story contains character death. Also, I finished the first version of this story before the terrorist bombs in London last week. On re-reading, after those attacks I felt the story was much too "on point". I did consider starting again from scratch, but that would feel like I was giving in to the terrorists. I've got family in London; I'm not willing to give in so easily to terror. So while I've made some small changes (took out some references to terrorist acts in Cascade, and made one incident in this fic somewhat less realistic than originally written), I haven't changed the main body of the story. I won't post spoilers here (mail me if you want to know before reading - I won't mind) but if you are one of the people affected by those attacks, be warned that this story may hit a little too close to home.
NOTES: Cliché? Well, yeah. Realistic? Not as much as my first version was. I went for a more "action movie" theme than realism. See above for the reason. This was meant to be a PWP but what do you know - a plot snuck in when I wasn't looking.
The canon timeline isn't really important to this fic, but for those who like to know these things, the story is set several years after the series ended. Blair is a detective and works in Major Crimes as Jim's partner.
Written for Getting a Sense of Clichés Ficathon.
My prompt: Write a story using the cliché idea: "If we're going to die, then damn it, let's go out with a bang!" and using the sense: Smell.
