When the Other Man's Shoes Don't Fit is a Sentinel story by Gil Hale.

Author's summary: "Blair gets to walk the proverbial mile in Jim’s shoes."

Author's notes: "A SentinelAngst List Themefic for Enola, who wanted stories of Blair having heightened senses."

Reactions and Reviews

This was a cool story. Yes, it's one of those "walk a mile in the other man's shoes" stories, with all the fun that ensues from that, and yes, it did mean that both Jim and Blair came to appreciate the other's situation a bit more, as such stories usually do, but this one had just that little bit extra as well, I think. Not just Blair momentarily blindsided by Jim's senses, but Jim momentarily blindsided by Blair's... what-if generator. That's appreciating Blair not just as Guide, but as Blair. And the continuing metaphor of the map just topped it off. So... what do *you* think? [1]
