They're my otp and now that I know they've broken up it makes me sad. So I need some happy Paul/Hannah. I really don't have a plot but I have some stuff I want and some stuff I don't want.

Must Haves: Fluff, lots cuteness, lots of happy moments

Must Nots: Angst, and anything that's not happy

I suppose if you wanted to have any of the other members in it I wouldn't mind just as long as the main focus is Paul/Hannah.

E Lynn  challenges you to take the following dip in the TS pool..... (This one is well fleshed out)...so how about it, guys)

James "El" Ellison:
Approx. 32 years
6'4" and well built:  chiseled and hard body; body is definition of cliché "velvet over steel"; body is completely hairless-he is a sensualist; pierced quite a bit, but not to the point of distraction: nipples, ears (mult), navel, tongue, in addition to his genitals (one ring encircling the base of his penis - like a perm cock ring, another ring just behind the
head, a guiche - a ring behind the scrotum in that sensitive area, and one ring through the head); head full of hair but cut short.
Smart/Intelligent - Double majored in industrial engineering (human factors) and business, minored in psych and history.  Went to school thanks to the US gov't.
Spent 5 years in school and 5 years in Army (did not complete is required duty; medical discharge).  Last year or so in Army, was a part of more secretive and dangerous assignments.
Has always had some control of his senses.  As a child and young adult, they were only at level 5, at some point in the army they "blossomed" and spiraled out of control (hence discharge).  After army, used drugs to control or mute senses.  Became prostitute to earn money to get fix(approx 6-9 months).  After he went to work for Sy, he researched his
condition and found materials that helped him regain control without resorting to drugs.
He has control 90% of the time.
Currently works for Simon "Sy" Banks as manager/investment councilor in addition to "working" for Sy.  It should be noted that James is more along the lines of a courtesan than a whore.  He is a completely sensual beast - he is in it for the feeling, not the money.  He is submissive, but he can be a "bossy" bottom.  He could retire and never have to work again,
but he is looking for something in each encounter to complete his sense of being.
There is nothing too much for him - the darker the scene, the closer to completion he comes (fist, ws, bdsm, etc).
Used as a pawn by his mother, Grace, so that she exert some control over his father, William, after she left Bill for another man.  With Sy's encouragement, he began to repair his relationship with his father.

Blair Sandburg
Approx. 32 years
5'11" and well built:  well defined without being overblown; body has hair but not to the point of hirsute; pierced: nipples, ears (mult), his genitals (a guiche, one ring through the head, possibility of others); hair long and often pulled back.
Smart/Intelligent - Double majored as an undergrad; Masters (Anthrop and Eng Lit); Doctorate in Anthrop.  Began college at 16, after going to a school for the gifted in New York.
Is a renowned author: began writing series of best selling novels while working on masters.  Series is Sci-Fi mystery about a man who has a special abilities relating to his senses.  There are 5 or 6 books for the series so far.  He uses a pseudonym (Michael Thorn)
He also writes erotica under another pseudonym (Nikolas Wolf) and has written since his undergrad days - it is dark and often times frightening.
His masters and doctorial work, along with the books from his series are the documents used by James to begin to regain and understand his senses
He is dominant, not for a need for power, but as an extension of his personality.  Blair is far closer to being Wolf in the everyday setting, than he is to Thorn, though both are aspects of him
Has traveled extensively, and has decided to settle near his mother

Simon "Sy" Banks
Ex-police captain who runs den of iniquity with no name other than that those who work and live there call it, Haven
Let the police force because of the hypocrisy that was pervasive, especially that of sexuality and its deviations
Opened a "Gentleman's Club" catering to those in society that needed to experience some of the "darker" passions.
He operates a business that only provides the services of those that are clean, intelligent, varied and, importantly, discreet.  The clientele is the same, in addition to being rich
Found James on the streets with Help from Joel, and cleaned him up, cleaned him out, and helped him begin again.  Treats James as his 2IC.

Megan Connor
Dominatrix who freelances out of Simon's house.
Close friend of Blair's since college.  Introduced him to scene originally, introduced him to Simon's house recently.

Henry "H" Brown
Son of a deceased friend of Sy
Has a sadistic streak as thick as his neck that could have led him into much trouble, had it not been for basically being a "nice guy" and having those desires channeled by Sy
Has much unresolved anger from father's perceived abandonment (death) and abuse from foster care system

Brian Rafe
If Joel is the angel sitting on Simon's shoulder, Rafe is the devil.
Also on the police force, though he has no problems taking bribes or providing information to Simon under the table.
He has a strong sense of personal ethics and will not betray those ethics or those that he feels are "his".  This includes Simon and those at the Haven.
He is darkness where Joel is light.
He is also Simon's lover.

Joel Taggart
Physical embodiment of Sy's conscience
Currently a police captain and worked with Sy when he was with the department.
Often leads Simon to or brings strays.
Accepts Simon's career choice and understands, but he himself would never be able to run such a place.  Those brought or lead to Simon are only those he knows who need a haven, such as it is, like Simon's
The only bribe he has accepted is the coffee he drinks with Simon, discussing future residents at the "Haven" Grace Ellison
She left her younger son with his father because 1) he was too young and 2) he was only the second son.
She never physically abused James (or Jimmy, as she liked to call him), but mental and emotional abuse abounded.  She surrounded Jimmy with "uncles" and flaunted her sexuality in front of Jimmy (it was not uncommon for him to bear witness to his mother's sexual escapades).
She let Jimmy go live with his father his senior year in high school, not out of the goodness of her heart, but because it would rip him from his friends and the lies she had told of his father not wanting him had festered and become an infection of hate and distrust felt against Bill.

Bill Ellison
Bill was not perfect, but he loved his son, and had tried for years to convince Grace to let Jim (as he called his son) live with him.
Bill's support and acceptance of Jim's need for independence appeared to be lack of interest in James' Grace-tainted eyes.
Bill accepted the need for the boy to go away to college and then in to the army.
He still carries guilt for not being able to remove Jim from Grace's clutches.

Naomi Sandburg
Neighbor to Bill Ellison; Mother to Blair
Though she can be flighty to the point of flaky, she is a very intelligent woman: Psychiatrist specializing in sexual problems and issues
She loves her son very much and has supported him in all endeavors.
Though she, too, raised a son on her own, Naomi is as different from Grace
Ellison as two people can be.

Blair gets so bummed out over Jim's ill-treatment that he withdraws inwardly to the  point that he sits in the loft painting cockroaches pretty colors with acrylic paint. 

Scares the living SHIT out of Jim when HE realizes what he's done. And breaks his heart. I suggest a NC-17 ending.

Found this challenge posted by Jane on AUfic (squidge)

Jim finds himself the object of a young, pre-pub girl's first attempts at flirting. Can he handle her 'first crush' pursuit: In full view of everyone at MC and Blair's giggles?

Fandom - Sentinel/Highlander Crossover.

Category - First Times, Crossover. Pairings - Jim and Blair, Duncan and Methos (you can throw in Joe and Richie, if you want).

This is an AU from the point of 'Sentinel, Too' onwards. Alex is Immortal. Once she meets Blair, she realizes he is pre-Immortal, and thinks he would make the perfect Guide once she kills him. Thus, the fountain. But before that, she meets Jim, and realizes he is also Immortal (he died in Peru). After they get back from Sierra Verde, a new teacher comes to Rainier: it can be either Duncan or Methos, or both, even. They realize that Blair and Jim are Immortal and tell them what they are. Three rules - there is to be no rape or beheading of Jim, Blair, Duncan, or Methos, and the two couples must be together by the end of the story (no foursomes).

Fandom - Sentinel/Star Trek Crossover. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Blair is half Betazoid (you choose which half - his mother or his father). As he is half Betazoid, he has empathic, telepathic and telekinetic powers. As part of his mental powers, he must telepathically bond with his mate, and he can only do this once, through sex. Therefore, he can't have sex until he finds his mate. He studies xenothropology (anthropology of alien cultures) at Starfleet Academy, and goes on vacation to a remote planet. On this planet, he is harassed by aliens (you pick what kind) and rescued by Jim, a Captain in Starfleet who is also on vacation. When Jim zones in the middle of fighting off the aliens, Blair rescues him, and they spend the rest of their vacation together, studying Jim's abilities. At the end, Jim requests that Blair start working for him, and he does. Once on board ship, they start dating and Blair explains the bonding to him, and how he is still a virgin, and Jim tells him that he's never been with a guy before, and they bond. After they bond, they start thinking about the future, and, since this is the future, they decide to have kids. Yes, this is an m-preg challenge! Two rules - there is to be no rape or death of Jim and Blair, and they must be together by the end of the story.

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Premise - a 'Bed Of Roses' spoof. Blair is Christian Slater, Jim is Mary Stuart Masterson (Use their real names.) Blair is the son of Naomi, whose parents left her all their money on their deaths in a car accident. Naomi died of breast cancer when Blair was 16, right after he arrived at college. She left him all the money she inherited from her parents. Consumed by grief, Blair throws himself into his studies and gets his BA after two years, instead of four, and his Master's in the same amount of time. After graduating at age 20 with a Master's degree, Blair decides to take some time off before going for his PhD. He takes some of the money he got from Naomi and opens a flower shop. He spends his days reading, going for walks, reading books to children at the library's story hour, and delivering flowers. One day, when he's out for a walk, he sees a man (Jim) who he thinks looks very sad. (Jim is sad because when his senses came on-line, he was suspended from his job as a cop till he could find out what is wrong with him) He decides to give him some flowers, so he takes him a bouquet. He takes them to the loft, so he doesn't know that Jim is a cop. When Jim can't find out who the flowers are from, he decides to follow Blair to see if he can find out from him. He zones on something (you pick, in the show it was a frisbee) in the middle of the street, and Blair saves him from being run over by a garbage truck. They get to talking; Blair discovers Jim's senses and starts helping him. Aside from working together, they spend a lot of time together, and basically start dating. It all comes to a head one day when they start kissing, and that's when Jim finds out that Blair is a virgin. After his mother died, he never let anyone get close. Blair finds out that Jim has never been with a guy before. They get together anyway. By the end of the story Jim and Blair must be together; also, there is to be no rape or death of Jim or Blair.

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - First times. Pairing - Jim and Blair. There's a serial killer in Cascade (where else would a serial killer be) who, after he kills someone, calls the cops and says that he's killed one of his children. Once they get he first call, they run blood tests on the people who were killed, and it turns out that the people who think they are their fathers aren't. The mothers of the people who are killed can't think of anyone who might be the fathers that they have in common. As all the victims have blue eyes and brown, curly hair, when Naomi shows up, she starts badgering Jim and Simon to protect Blair. Jim eventually decides they aren't safe in the city (or something), and they hide out in the forest, in a cabin. (I suppose they could stay in the loft) While there, they discover their feelings for each other, and get together. Two rules - no rape or deaths of Jim and Blair.

AN URBAN LEGEND CHALLENGE from (The Bakers)

Lets say for some reason Jim and Blair are outed. And we have the Cops Not coming when called for backup situation. Jim and blair get in a really bad situation and call for back up, but no one comes in time.
So Jim and Blair die. But Every once in a while, especially on the date of their death a series of calls comes over the police ban. It is the repeat of Jim and Blairs call for back up. In other words its a ghost story. Every anniversary of their death their desperate please for help ring on the police ban reminding everyone of their betrayal.

What of those in Major Crime? What circumstances kept them from getting there in time? And what do the do on this anniversary of their friends deaths?

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Timeframe - 1800's and 1100's. Blair is a student at Oxford (England) university in the 1800's, and he (falls through a portal, gets caught in a spell, casts a spell, touches a talisman, you choose) and gets sent back in time 700 years (or thereabouts, as long as its before the year 1200.) There he meets a knight named James Ellison (Jim, of course). Jim thinks Blair is a spy for his enemy (name of your choice, bonus points for using one of the following: Garret Kincaid, David Lash or Dawson Quinn), so he takes Blair with him, and on their way back to his castle, they are attacked by his enemies sorceress name of your choice, (bonus points for using one of the following: Veronica Sarris, Alex Barnes, Cassie Wells, or Samantha). Since they are targeting Blair too, Jim knows that he isn't working for them. He takes Blair back to his place, and asks him what he is doing there. When Blair finds out what year it is, he tells Jim what has happened, but what they don't know is that the sorceress is listening in. When she hears about Blair begin from the future, she decides that he is a threat, and poisons him. Only, she accidentally used the wrong ingredient, and instead of killing Blair, the poison turns him into a woman, but only at night. Jim has a sorcerer of his own (Bonus points for making him one of the bull-pen guys) who knows how to send Blair back, but Blair can't go back until he is changed back. While trying to find an antidote, Jim and Blair fall in love, which leads to lost of problems, as Blair knew he was attracted to men, but he is still a virgin, and Jim has never been attracted to a man before (bonus points for using female pheromones in here somewhere), so they decide to take it slow. Eventually they find an antidote, but the catch is that the antidote isn't a potion or spell, but an act - Blair has to have sex in his female form in order to change back. Of course, he and Jim have sex, but Blair doesn't change back right away; the sorcerer says its because he's pregnant. In the time they wait for him to change back, Blair and Jim get married (he's female now, so that works) and the story ends with the baby (or babies, your choice, as is gender) being born, and Blair decides that he doesn't want to go back. A few rules - there is to be no rape or death of Jim or Blair, no setting them up with anyone else, and they must be together by the end of the story.

Fandom - 'The Sentinel' with Jim and Blair.

It goes like this - it's AU, one of those universes where there are lots of Sentinels & Guides. And Sentinel/Guide pairs are matched up according to their genetic profiles. They bond sexually. (I know, this sounds like Saul's story, and reading it gave me this idea, but it's a lot more complex, trust me.)

Jim and Blair have never met before they find out that they are a matched set. When they do meet, things get weird. Blair is from a tribe that is very magical (i.e. mages, sorcerers, elves, fairies, whatever you want to use), but is also very unusual in his tribe. In fact, he is the only one of his kind. What kind, you ask?

He is a Changeling/Shapeshifter. Now, let me explain this. You know that Blair's Spirit Guide is the Wolf, so he can change into a wolf whenever he wants. That's the Shapeshifter part. Jim has been looking for a Guide for so long, because he needs a Shapeshifter Guide, whose DNA matches his. For this story, Blair is 21 (That's the only way this will work, trust me) and Jim is 27 or 28. The Changeling part is where it gets weird.

As a Changeling, Blair can become a woman (yes, I know this isn't exactly M-Preg, but since Blair's body would be male on the outside while he's pregnant, up until the time he goes into labor, I still thought I'd warn you.) in Blair's tribe, when a boy (or girl) reaches sexual maturity, there is a ceremony where a Shaman direct them down the path they must follow, the one that will lead to their mate. On Blair's 16th birthday, he turned into a woman for the first time (he had been able to turn into a wolf since birth). The Shaman said that since he was a Changeling, he would only be able to have kids in his female form, so his mate would have to be a man, which, according to his tribe, wasn't taboo. What was weird, is that most Changelings weren't Shapeshifters, and none were Guides; also, most Changelings were sterile, so this was a big thing, him being able to have kids. Blair has the idea to have him DNA profiled; you can use whatever reason you want, but his tribe mostly stays away from science, and uses magic instead, so his mother is a bit against it, but goes through with it when he explains his reasons (which can be anything from a vision telling him to do it, or the Shaman saying that it is his path to leave the tribe). When he his profiled, he finds out he is a Guide, so his mate must be a Sentinel. His mother doesn't want him to, but he lists himself as a Guide in the database they have to match up Sentinels and Guides. He also makes a decision on that day (here it, comes another weird part). Knowing that the Sentinel he matches up with will be his mate for life; he decides to wait to have sex until they meet. This is one of my kinks: virgin Blair. For some reason or other (Naomi taking his name off the list, a downed computer, the database Blair's profile is in not being connected to whatever database has Jim's profile in it, whatever you want to use) Jim and Blair don't meet until his 21st birthday. Once they do, and Jim's find out all this, (especially about Blair being a virgin), they talk and a few things come out. They are: Jim never having sex with a guy before, and not wanting to just jump into bed with Blair, seeing as how their first bonding would have to be with Blair as a woman, because of the Changeling thing. Now, another one of my kinks are stories with lots and lots and lots of sex in them, so after they bond as man and woman, they have to bond in a lot of other ways. As another one of my kinks is bestiality, when I say a lot, I mean a lot. The pairings are: man and man (both topping), man and wolf (Blair topping), man and panther (Jim topping, because Jim is the panther, remember, I said he was a Shapeshifter as well, and since his Spirit Guide is the Black Jaguar, well, there you go), Jaguar and woman (Jim topping, of course) and wolf and panther (both topping). Then, of course, they have sex again as man and woman, which is when Blair gets pregnant. How many children, and the circumstances of the birth, and whether or not they are Changelings is up to you (I really don't see a way that they could not be Shapeshifters, with both their parent as them). There are only a few no-no's in this challenge: I am a romantic at heart, and I believe in happily ever after, so...no rape, castration, slavery, or deaths of Jim, Blair, or their future kids, either in the womb or after birth.

(Bonus points for using a canon character as the witch). And, of course, Blair wit h no one around but him and the witch - virgin Blair! By the end of the story Blair and Jim must be together, and Blair must have a shorter haircut. No rape or death of Jim and Blair.

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Ok, this is for all those people who saw GM on ER. Make Blair a real JAG attorney, have him defend Jim once he gets rescued from Peru, and they want to blame him for the crash happening. Or, for all those people who wanted to see him in scrubs, make him a Doctor at the base hospital, where he discovers Jim's senses. Two rules - no rape or death of Jim or Blair (and bonus points for making this virgin Blair).

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Remember when Blair told Kincaid that he flew Apaches in Desert Storm? What if he had? He would have been in the service around the same time Jim was in Peru. Two different scenarios: Blair is the pilot assigned to fly Jim down there, and both he and Jim survive the crash, and get rescued by the Chopec, and fall in love despite the fact that neither has ever been with a man before (bonus points for making this virgin Blair!), or: Blair is a small plane pilot (or passenger) who is heading down to Mexico to meet Naomi (or any other reason you can think of for having Blair in a plane over Peru), and crashes in Peru near the Chopec territory. Jim rescues him, and nurses him back to health, and when he's better they bond (you know what kind of bond I mean ), even though neither has ever been with a man before (again, bonus points for making this virgin Blair). Two rules - no rape or death of Jim or Blair.
