Hi, I just stumbled onto the sentinel bandwagon and I would love some recommendations. Tried wading the waters by myself, but this fandom is massive. My preferences are long novel length fics or even series. First times and AU fics are great, but no established relationships or episode related stories since I've only seen the first season so far ( Read more... )

request: au, pairing: jim/blair, story length: novel, *recs, story length: long, theme: first time, category: slash

Welcome to the fandom!! I remember that feeling back in November; it's a great kind of massive though, ne? Well, it seems like you've got tons to go through already and so many great recs have been mentioned. I'll go ahead and plug the one I'm currently reading.

Mab's Regency series is a great series that seems to fit your preferences. Fic one is a first time, the series is a total AU, and no established relationships or episode related stories in sight. And while the fics aren't really novel length, together they make for a good long read. So enjoy the beauty that is Mab. ^_^

Story 1: Cards on the Table, A Game of Hazard, King or Knaves, and All's Fair, the fourth story that she's still writing over on livejournal.

Might be just me, but when I tried to get to the stories, the links didn't work.

I think that there's an issue with 852. I can get everything else in my bookmarks but not that. Hopefully it will settle soon.

Gotta love those Internet glitches.... Here's Mab's main site, just scroll down and you'll find the first three Regency stories.

Great, thanks!

Thank you for the lovely recs. :-) Strictly speaking, A Game of Hazard is at least episode influenced, as it contains elements of the events in Sentinel Too, although it's not an exact parallel.

Hey, you're more than welcome. It's very richly deserved. I did notice the similarities, but you wrote the piece so beautifully interwoven with the historical elements and the AU aspect that I guess my mind just doesn't equate it with an "episode-related" fic. And for a person who's only seen Season 1, this would probably read more an AU than a "episode related". A beautiful fic all around!
