Yes, it is fredericks day to post (and I should probably stop doing this before she starts throwing things at me), but I'm going to have uncertain internet access tomorrow and I thought it safer to post this today.

Review:
After learning that his father had always known about his senses, Jim gets rip-roaring drunk. And kisses Blair. And wishes that he'd met Blair during the whole Bud incident when he was a kid. And then passes out. Heh. Blair, riding high on the kiss, goes outside and repeats Jim's wish to a whole meteor storm of falling stars. Guess that's what it takes to make a wish come true. The thing is, though, sometimes wishes have unexpected consequences.

One thing I love about the Sentinel fandom is that years after the show went off the air, the fandom is still going strong. This story was written in 2005, by a writer that I know primarily from the Stargate fandoms, and I can see the newer shows' influence in the care she takes with the paradoxes of time travel. Sure, it seems like nothing can go wrong with a wish to make your best friend's life better, but what if that new life doesn't include you? How does his absence change your life, and are those changes for the better for you?

Of course, we all know that any story I rec is going to have a happy ending, but the journey to get there is one of the most well-thought out and interesting I've read in a long time. A beautiful, thought-provoking story.
