Sentinel 3x23 Sentinel, Too Part 1

The moment we've all been waiting for...

"A new musical theme, the Piano of Jim and Blair's Relationship, starts up here. If you ever see this episode a second time, you'll notice you start shivering uncontrollably about now. That is normal."

SENTINEL TOO PART 1

Thank you for this!!

Oh, I know; a lot of times if I'm taking a bit verbatim I'll just grab Becky's cause it's easier, but if it's a long sequence I'll usually do it myself, and it's a pain! you have to pause every second or so!

I like to make fun of how little Blair does, I mean, it's true that most of the time he's just saying "Okay, Jim, breathe", but I like to think that it's not really something anybody could do; Jim comes out of his trances for Blair's voice because he's in tune to it and because he trusts Blair. And he could be that way about someone else, theoretically, with practice, but then there's all that mystical stuff about how their spirits are intertwined and Blair is his Guide or his Shaman or whatever. It's impossible to gauge to what extent the magic is affecting the relationship and making the things they do for each other possible.

I feel like I've heard that Jim-gets-married-someday vision considered and ultimately rejected by many a slashfic-Jim and slashfic-Blair. I guess it could work, but even assuming maximal heterosexuality, it would be a strange, vaguely threesomey relationship.
