Helen W.'s Sentinel Stuff

Ongoing series "The Summer of 1999", in which I am trying to get Jim and Blair past all the garbage of TSbyBS sane, happy, and healthy. Again, these stories differ somewhat in tone from one another, so be warned! There's continuity between the stories, but you really don't need to read them all, or in order:
Blair Gets a Job (it's about time!) (TS, PG, 15K, 4/27/02)

No More Lies. Blair thought that being freed from a mind-controlling space-alien snake would make Jim happy. Nothing is that simple. (TS & SG-1, PG-13, 36K, 1/20/04)
Inquisition. If only the prospect of being interrogated by the Air Force was Jim's biggest problem! (TS & SG-1, R, 72K, 4/8/04)
Pieces. The Air Force has questions. Jim has answers. Plenty of h/c ensues. (TS & SG-1, PG-13, 90K, 7/7/04)

NEW! Three Little Words. Because the above story didn't have enough smarm. (TS, PG, 8K, 12/19/07)
