After a three week absence, Blair Sandburg walked into the bullpen at Cascade's Major Crimes division wearing his arm in a sling. This alone was enough to turn heads and conjure questions. But when his answer to those questions began with the sentence, "well, it all started when I went to Hell," he was grateful he would only have to tell his tale once.

Re-beta'ed, Revised & Newly Illustrated!! September 4, 2009 A fic derived from a filk derived from the original song by Bob Marley, and later by Eric Clapton. The filk was first (you'll find it at the end of the fic.)  The fic is full of drama, angst and H/C, involving both sentinel and guide getting shot in separate incidents, a hijacked truckload of guns that are hitting Cascade's streets, and an unfortunate college freshman who's caught in the middle. Blair's struggle for survival makes for a particularly angsty story.

In this scenario, his academic credibility has been restored and he has found the best of both worlds as a full-time detective and part-time academic.
