Lasting Imprint is a Sentinel story by Fluterbev.

While not her first posted Sentinel fic, it was the first one she wrote.

Comments by the Author

"I Can Be You Oo Oo might have been my first posted TS story, but as I have already pointed out, I had also written several other TS stories before that. Those ones, however, were DEFINITELY for my eyes only. As already noted, I hadn’t even seen the series at that time, I was just totally obsessed with TS fanfic! However I eventually reworked and finished one of those stories for Moonridge. To my enduring astonishment that story has gone on to become my most-viewed, most-kudosed fic at AO3: Lasting Imprint. It is kind of boggling that just about the first TS fic that I ever wrote has apparently become my most popular story. I have no idea why, or who all the people are reading it; I can only assume that it has somehow appealed to the current multi-fandom sentinels-and-guides-are-known zeitgeist." [1]

Reactions and Reviews

Why You Should Read This:

This is a world where Guides are enslaved, taken from their parents in infancy, trained to be utterly subservient to their Sentinels. Jim finds himself having to deal with the damage done to a rogue, a Guide that was not captured until he was an adult, who was then subjected to brutal brainwashing.

This is, given the premise, a strangely gentle story. I thought it was great. [2]
