Rec and Reviews
[eliade]
You really don't need to have seen One West Waikiki to appreciate this story, though it helps to know that Mack was played by Richard Burgi. Dr. Holliday was played by Cheryl Ladd.[...]
Why you should read this: Professional plotting, science done well, solid characterization, musical partners, effective use of the supporting cast, realist detail, Jim angst...oh, just go read it.
What might throw you off stride: Two-thirds of the way through you will suddenly realize you could never ever plot a story like this to save your life and you will slit your wrists and bleed to death. Or perhaps just eat a lot of chocolate and moan.[1]

I was re-watching the Sentinel series when someone recced this fic to me. I loved both shows, so the crossover was a lot of fun to read, and I really enjoyed seeing how Jim and Mack's characters contrast. And of course the love scenes were very hot, too!Thanks for sharing the story with us![2]

Oh this is so, SO good. The tension feels real and suspenseful (I was straight up clutching my proverbial pearls at William and Jim's confrontation), the humor is dry and delightful, and I love how our four heroes are good people just trying their best, even if it doesn't work out right the first time. I'm so glad everyone got a happy ending, and I'm extra glad this got recced in the TS group chat so I could enjoy it. ^-^ Thank you!![3]
