A Gathering of Sentinels by Lady Ra (R)
Aaaaand it occurs to me that yesterday was actually my day to rec. *facepalm* Vacations, man. Turn my brain to mush.

Review:
Blair gets abducted by a man in need of a guide (for nefarious purposes, natch). Still reeling from the Alex incident, Blair finds himself with four unbonded sentinels who are barely hanging on. Meanwhile, Jim finds himself short one guide and awash in new spirit animals. And his day only goes downhill from there.
I don't usually say this, but the stars of this fic are the OCs (and that includes the Spirit Animals of Awesomeness). Jim and Blair are both well done, of course, and I can never get enough of Alex angst, but by the end of the story I was mostly rooting for all of these new sentinels and their guides and absolutely loving Blair's idea as to how to take care of them all. An entertaining, enjoyable romp. With awesome spirit animals!
Note: I seem to recall that this fic has a sequel, but it's a very different story with a very different tone (and is also a crossover, if I'm remembering correctly) so if I do decide to rec it, I'll do so in a separate post.
