Understanding is a 236-page slash Sentinel and Millennium novel by Saraid. It contains no art.

It was net-published as a series of four stories. While the Millennium character Frank Black appears, this zine is primarily TS.

From the print zine's forward by the author: "hey, i am way excited here. my first zine. after nearly fifteen years of avoiding fandom, I've been sucked in and I love it."

Summary

From a distributor, Agent With Style: "Watch Jim and Blair discover their love for each other and see how it grows, even when faced by predjudice and hate at the police station. In this novel comprised of five stories which have previously been net-published, each man must decide for himself whether this loving relationship is worth being mocked, torn down, hated and abused--or whether their love is the very thing that will see them through it."

Reactions and Reviews

This is a wonderful first-time story. Saraid was one of my first introductions into the world of TS slash, and she has remained one of my favorite authors. She writes a clean, well thought out story. Great Blair owies. Lots of comfort! She writes a great in-character Jim and Blair. Though previously net published, this series of stories was revised and re-edited for the 'zine.

my first TS...what can I say, I'm sentimental. I love Jim and Blair on Oprah!.
