Reactions and Reviews
I was at the TS chat last night, and trying to remember the name of one of my favourite stories of all time. For those of you who were there - and those of you who weren't! - I finally went to hunt it out, and here it is:Something or Other, by Martha AKA saffronhouse. It's slash.
Just... guh. I don't have the words to say how fabulous this is. No wonder I got into The Sentinel nearly two years before ever seeing the show, with writing of this quality to engage with. I love just about everything Martha has ever written, but this one is my favourite of all.[1]
Why this must be read: Because it covers an under-explored bit of the sentinel’s life: zoning for pleasure.Martha calls this “an afterwards (of sorts) to… The Portable Jack Kerouac”, her story in which Blair discovers that zone-outs might not always be bad. That story was gen, but “Something” finds the guys in bed as Jim is given free rein to experience their love through a sensuous golden haze. The love and trust they are building gives him the courage to let go…and to tell Blair more than he normally reveals.
Martha is often remembered for her gothic tales; horror told with intelligence that enthralls. This is a tender and complicated tale, which true love should be, shouldn’t it? Enjoy.[2]
