Once upon a time, a long time ago, I was chatting with *someone* who mentioned the concept of "failure to thrive," wondering how a sentinel would be affected by it. I've forgotten who, and if I've stolen your story idea, I sincerely apologize, but this just *insisted* on being written.
Reactions and Reviews
A Jim centric story with a Blair POV. Legion takes a Sentinel fanfic cliche (Jim needing to anchor his sense with Blair and that Blair can't leave him without dire results) and makes it believable.This pushes one of my "button": Blair angst and Jim suffering. There's plenty of it, weaved into a skeleton plot that is interesting as a catalyst for the real plot : the bond between Jim and Blair and its consequences for both of them.
This is one of my favorite Legion's stories. I like the medical thread in this story. It makes the results of Blair's and Jim's actions believable in fictional context.
Since Legion has not been rec already I'm really happy to be able to suggest this story. In the same genre, Twenty-one days pushes the same buttons.[1]
