Sand is a Jim/Blair story by Vera.

Reactions and Reviews

In addition to vulnerable Jim, I also appreciate a mysterious Jim. And so, I adore Sand by VG. Blair is the CEO of his own company. Jim is former military turned surfer. When Blair goes to the beach to ponder his problems, Jim finds him and takes him in. It's beautifully written, with a strong sense of atmosphere. You really feel like you're at the beach. You honestly believe this is the first meeting between people who are deeply, elementally attracted to one another. You wish, wish, wish for a sequel.

I love AUs, and there are some wonderful examples of it in this fandom. "Sand" is one of my all-time favorites. Blair is a businessman facing a difficult decision who drives out to the beach to get away from his problems for an afternoon. Jim is the surfer he meets there, something of mystery man. This piece is wonderfully atmospheric. You'll feel like you're at the beach. There's hot, hot stranger sex, but still that sense of connection between Jim and Blair that you want in a Sentinel story, that makes it a Sentinel story.
