Carikube ~ Stories found at Carikube's Nest
Author Profile ~ Australian; female; thirty years old; Administration Manager during the day; aspiring writer some other times; owner of two pet dogs (I share a third) and four laying hens. I've been writing Sentinel fan fiction since 1997 (on and off) and hope to someday have my original fiction published, once I write it that is. My stories are predominantly dramatic, angsty and I aim to show the growth and emotional maturation of a character over time. Beyond all though, I write for myself and I write so that others may enjoy.

• I~L~A~S~C Series (Australian AU)
• Inchoate -- A chance encounter between an anthropologist and a police detective turns into a case of being in the wrong place at the right time. Rated PG-13 for language.
• Deception -- Jim and Blair work together to solve a case of murder and betrayal, where love is a weapon used to deceive. The course of the investigation awakens painful memories for Jim, while Blair is trapped fighting old demons of his own. Disabled by their pasts, both men fail to recognise the threat to their future and that inattention could cost Blair his life. Rated PG-13 for language, violence and adult content.
• Denial -- Facing the past is too difficult when the future is so full of uncertainty. Denial is the safest option and it's the path that Blair unconsciously chooses. But hiding from the past, unfortunately, does not make it go away. Rated PG-13 for language, violence and adult content.
• On an Island, Alone -- Travis is cut out of Blair's life - deemed unable to understand and subsequently avoided. Jim fares little better. In desperation, the two men band together to save their friend. But is it too little, too late?
• Captured -- Blair is warned that someone close to him -- someone who claims to care for him -- is planning to harm him. He refuses to heed the warning, and the fact that it might be Jim, and is unprepared when the threat becomes a reality.
• Fracture -- After Blair's abduction at Frederick Jenkin's hands, his self-confidence is shattered. Convinced that his days as Jim's Guide are numbered, Blair attempts to find ways for Jim to manage without him.
• Desert Soul -- Jim misinterprets a danger that threatens Blair's life and in a fearful over-reaction he harms the anthropologist. Afraid of what he has done, Jim seeks help from Sharna Edwards, Blair's former healer. But far from putting his mind at rest, her work reveals a greater aspect to the Sentinel and Guide dynamic than either man had ever imagined.
• Realignment -- With his confidence restored, Blair is faced with the dangerous frustration of having his story disbelieved by the police while Frederick Jenkins is viewed as a hero and set free.
• Trust -- Blair's situation worsens as the disbelief in his version of events widens beyond the police arena. Meanwhile, Jenkins' taunt to Jim that he will kill the anthropologist despite all of Jim's best efforts to stop him, is soon to become a reality.
• Sacrifice -- A life will be sacrificed so as to ensure the Sentinel's future and to safeguard all that he has been chosen for.
• Into the Next Life -- Jim, Blair and Megan protect two children from their father, a man solely intent on saving his children by killing them. Deeply affected by the case, Blair is touched by the children's plight and compassionate of the father's motivations. But when Blair is chosen to die with them, his compassion is eclipsed by self-preservation.
