Review:
I recced this series at crack_van and everything I said about it then holds true:

This may be my favorite TS series. Jim and Blair find that a Sentinel really can't survive long term in a major city and move to a small town in rural Washington. The premise is intriguing and well thought out, the stories are quiet (at least for The Sentinal fandom, which tends towards the melodramatic) and beautifully written, and the plots explore an aspect of Jim and Blair's relationship that I think the show seriously short-changed: how do two people learn to live together for years, especially when one is a Sentinel? Add in a bevy of interesting and well developed OCs (Miss Lillian is my hero), hurt/comfort and angst galore, and a thought-provoking examination of Sentinels, Guides, and relationships in general, and you have the must-read series of the fandom.

Stories in chronological order for series timeline:
Iceberg
I Still Believe
Pilgrimage
The First Annual Dorset County Folk Music Festival
The Greater Public Good
On the Way Home
Obscure Music

I've have enjoyed stories written by Dasha in other fandoms so I added these stories to my favorites so I can read them later. I'm enjoying your Sentinel week of recs and hope to read some of the other stories as well if I every get caught up with my reading.

I'm enjoying it too, especially since I knew I was doing it ahead of time (so, unlike when I did Due South week, I've saved up recs for a couple of weeks and am not afraid of running out:)

Enjoy!
