It's slightly AU, where Arthur finds himself in a life he doesn't remember and he's not sure which life is the real one. It broke my heart over and over, and god, the ending had me bracing myself. I could not love this fic more. I've tried, it isn't possible.

Title: Permanent Record
Author: Francesca
Rating: NC-17
Length: 98K
Brief summary:  For many TS readers who found the fandom five or more years ago, Francesca is like a gateway drug. You read her stuff, which is written so well and varied, and you say "Who *are* these guys? I want to know everything about them." It's hard to believe she did most of her TS stories in about three years and that this particular story is now a decade old. Thank you, Francesca, for your legacy.

Permanent Record takes place shortly after Blair has moved in with Jim.  Through a series of circumstances they click and quickly become fuck-buddies.  But Jim wonders about the man who seems to be able to get him to spill his darkest secrets and decides to do a little less-than-ethical investigating. What he finds is eye-opening and at times hilarious bits of Blair's early college years.  It gives him insight into the man who is fast becoming the most important person in his life.  It gives us what we loved most about the show:  snappy banter and guys acting like guys.

One of the great things about fanfic is that it expands the characters. We get to see what they *might* be doing during all those off-screen hours.

Brief summary:  Contrary to the title, there are 12 instinctive behaviors that are explored delightfully by Betty. These are little slices of life that follow the progression of the series and are episode-related. There's Jim comforting Blair post-Maya and Blair comforting Jim post-Incacha. Blair reflects on the dangerous path he's chosen after Danny Choi's death and on his own death and resurrection. And, as in the series, we see their evolving relationship.

Claim: The Sentinel: general series
Prompt: Reccer’s Choice 3
Title: No Big Deal
Author: Dasha
Rating: PG to R
Length: 180K, 180K, 268K
Brief summary:  So, did you ever want to know what went on off-screen during the show? How Blair convinced Jim to do tests or get him a ride-along pass? What happened when Jim came back from fishing in “Crossroads”? Whether he and his father and brother continued to make amends with each other? If Jim *really* thought Blair would make a good partner? Here’s your chance to explore.

No Big Deal is a big engrossing tale told through Jim’s eyes starting the day after the Switchman episode and continuing through to the end of the series. It fills in all sorts of details that might bog down the action-packed episodes but are essential to understand how two such different people became so important to each other. If you’ve never read any of Dasha’s works, you’re in for a treat. If it’s been a while since you’ve read this excellent series, this is just a reminder of how good she is.  Enjoy

Title: Four Months in a Uniform
Author: E. Batagur
Rating:  PG

Brief summary:  Seen through Jim’s eyes, it follows Blair’s progress through the academy and into an unexpected barrier.  Unlike Simon’s description of how easy it will be to become Jim’s partner, Blair must go through a mandatory stint as a uniformed cop.  And, even after he passes the detective exam, he is not guaranteed a place in Major Crime.  Great post-series story of Blair’s development and Jim’s reactions.  And there’s a case or two thrown in!  

She also has a sequel called I’m Not Scared But I Can’t Move.

If you don’t know anything about the show or fandom, the main premise is that Jim is a man with five hyper-active senses. In the first show Blair dubs people with this phenomenon as “Sentinels”. Since [livejournal.com profile] rec50  includes many fandoms, the prompts are necessarily generic. So, for my Reccer’s choices, I’d like to focus on themes that really represent the show. I’m starting with a story that showcases Jim’s senses, or at least one of them!

Claim: The Sentinel: general series
Prompt: Reccer’s Choice #1
Title: Palooka
Author: Pares
Rating: NC-17
Length: 40K
(not so) brief summary:  This takes place sometime after “Sweet Science”, in which a boxer friend of Blair’s was killed, and helps to explain the title.  The episode was deep into the third season, so Jim has been working on controlling his senses with Blair’s help for quite a while and it shows here.  Jim uses his senses unconsciously and effortlessly, monitoring Blair without any real thought or intent.  And that’s how his sense of smell tells him what’s going on in Blair’s life.  He knows, for instance, when Blair’s dating someone new, because their smells rub off on him. And he knows when Blair is getting laid, because he’ll smell like freshly-baked bread. 

Then, his senses start to go out of whack. He knows Blair can help him but is at a loss as to how to explain it or engage Blair. He’s starting to suspect that Blair might be part of the problem.  Jim’s confusion is endearing and his reactions are hilarious.  The banter is snappy and the interactions are laced with that casual good humor and affection that was the hallmark of the show.  Enjoy!

Excerpt: “If you value your spark, never refer to my brother in the female gender ever again." Sunstreaker snarled, then spun back to face Ratchet and glared. "You! Why aren't you doing anything?!"

Brief summary: G1 - Starscream, naturally, always carried a little bit of high grade on him. And really, what better mech for Prowl to try Sideswipe's latest high grade concoction on than the Decepticon Air Commander?
Excerpt: "Oh, I know!" Starscream suddenly announced from where he was lying flat on the ground during one of those wishful discussions. "If - if Megatron had to listen to me...I'd tell him to give me a vacation! And - not one of those 'You have betrayed me again, Starscream! Now I am going to shoot you in the back and exile you!' vacations!" Prowl, leaning against a nearby tree, snickered slightly at Starscream's passable imitation of Megatron's voice.
"You consider those vacations?" the Autobot asked.
"Closest I've ever gotten! Un-unlike you Autoboobs, we don't get vacation time!" Starscream retorted. "Because...vacation time isn't evil!" Prowl snorted.

Rating: PG-13
Length: 11 chapters. Complete.
Brief summary: G2. What with exorcisms, possession, and the occasional kidnapping, it's a wonder Rodimus Prime gets any work done. Especially with a ghostly Starscream making trouble around the base. But when the stirring of Cybertron's restless dead isn't limited to sarcastic ex-Seekers... Who you gonna call?

Contains an assortment of pairings, general bot-sluttery, crack, humour, and Decepticon/Autobot... 'alliances'. And Starscream. Lots and lots of Starscream.
Excerpt: "Quickly!" Perceptor declared, and turned toward the source of the sound with his ghost-detecting equipment clutched to his chest. "We must get to the source before the ghost activity subsides!" He took off at a run, Skyfire and Silverbolt in hot pursuit, the Twins trailing after. Rodimus and Jazz were left behind with Starscream, blinking in shock.

"Is it my imagination, gentlemechs," Jazz said slowly, "or have we stumbled into one hell of a Twilight Zone?"

"What, you take me in stride, but Ratchet and Prowl are something to get excited about?" Starscream scoffed. "Prowl can't even get poltergeist activity right!"

Rodimus peeked over his desk. "But I like Prowl's poltergeist activity," he murmured. "He even found my Slinky."

Brief summary: G1. All too late, one realizes the impact his best friend had on his life. Saying goodbye is never easy. Especially when you've never had to before. Or thought you'd have to.
Excerpt: “Just…” the wounded mech sighed apologetically. In a softer voice, one only his twin ever heard he asked, “Just talk to me, Sides.”
“I thought you hated my ‘inane babbling,’” Sideswipe accused humorously. “What should I talk about?”
“Correction. I hate your inane babbling when I have better things to do than pretend to listen,” Sunstreaker replied with an utmost solemn expression that could put the late Prowl to shame. “I don’t care. Tell me a story.”
“A story?” Now he was definitely confused. He hadn’t asked for a story since he was a young infant.
“Yeah. One about a handsome and brave warrior who became a galactic war hero as he saved the day time and time again. Femmes worshiped him and mechs fought just for the chance to serve under his command.”
A wry fox-like grin came onto his brother’s face. “And was his name, by chance, Sunstreaker?”
“Oh, you know that one too? It’s one of my favorites.”

Title: Experiences

Characters: Sam, Bee, Lenox all the Transformers in the movie and more.
Prompt: 10. Fandom cliche. = Allspark!Sam
Rating: PG-13
Length: chapters. WIP.
Brief summary MovieVerse The Decepticons found the Witwicky family when Sam was only eight. What kind of life do you live when you've been raised by an Autobot named Bumblebee?
Author`s Note:I had this idea one night while I was reading a fic about Sam becoming the Allspark after Mission City. I toyed around with the idea of him actually agreeing to become it, rather than it being a side effect of being there at its destruction. Unfortunately none of the ideas I had meshed well with how I thought Sam’s reaction in general would be. So to fix that I had to think of a way around it. The only feasible thing I could think of was what if the Decepticons found his family before Bumblebee and way before the timeline the movie gives us? A Sam raised by Bumblebee is something I have yet to see, and so I decided that idea would work with where I want this fic to eventually go. I hope you all like it and let me know what you think. Just to warn you all first, this chapter is a mishmash of the past nine years, including Mission City. More of Sam’s growing years will come up in later chapters, so most of this now is just to give ysou an idea of what his life has been like okay?

Prompt: 46. Reccer's Choice and 10. Fandom cliche = Allspark!Sam (with an awesome twist)
Rating: PG.
Length: Drabble.
Brief summary: . Golden Compass/Transformers (Movie-verse) semi-crossover. Bumblebee knew what dæmons were, but though he became used to these physical souls in time, there was something subtly wrong about the dæmons of these Allspark-creatures. They were at once a testament of, and yet at the same time a rejection of, their surviving humanity.
Excerpt: In the end they shouldn’t really have been surprised that the Allspark affected the humans thusly. At their core, the humans were very much like the Allspark, and like the Cybertronians. They were equally creators and destroyers, equally creatures of hatred and love.

No one knew where the Allspark was; just that something in the three humans resonated with it, and it had granted them some of its powers. Many believed it to be in Tranquility, protected by the three humans who lived outside of Decepticon control or Autobot protection, though attempts to recover it from both sides met with…with very grim results.
