Future Conditional is a Jim/Blair Sentinel story by Elaine.
The reason I'm reccing this is primarily that I really didn't think I'd like it at first, because -- well -- Blair being part woman, part man? (M)preg? Not my kind of thing really. But I started reading it anyway, mostly because I knew that Elaine just writes very well and usually very compelling stories and, girl, am I happy I did! Why it's worth checking out: First of all Blair as a hermaphrodite is an original twist that I haven't seen anywhere else, and though the issues that arise from that in the story are what you'd probably expect (they are a sociological minority, bigotry, etc.), the story nevertheless stays original in its own way. But there's more. Aside from Elaine's usual superb writing style, this story has everything I think most of us look for in a TS fic; H/C, emotional angst, the slow building of a relationship (against sociological norms and with some bumps in the road), an interesting and exciting plot, not to mention truly hot sex that I -- against what I had originally expected -- didn't find strange, much less squicky, at all. And except for the the obvious differences to canon (this being a radical AU after all), the rest of the characterization and dynamic between the characters holds true to what you'd expect from any well written TS fic.[1]
