After fifteen years as an un-bonded Sentinel, Jack Carter has come to terms with the reality that either his Guide doesn’t exist or is one of the many who chose not to join the Sentinel-Guide Union. Between his daughter's rebellions, his trigger happy deputy and the town’s insane scientists, Jack doesn’t have time to dwell on it. Then Nathan Stark comes to Eureka. Jack recognizes him immediately as a Guide. An unregistered Guide, which means by custom and law, Jack isn’t allowed to acknowledge him as a Guide. Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem. But Nathan is Jack’s Guide. Plan A: Avoid Stark. Except, rogue weather bots and the secret schemes of the town's residents make that impossible. Unfortunately, he hasn’t come up with plan B.

I am a big, BIG fan of Sentinel AU's. But it seems like the post I had went poof! Anyway! Enjoy. ❤️

Stiles can never leave a good mystery alone.

I'll Tie You (In My Arms) by Kian | 19K

Derek doesn't want a Guide after his last attempt at a bond nearly got his whole family killed, and Stiles doesn't want to be one if it means losing the last of the family he's got. But Fate doesn't take requests.

I Want You Under My Skin by FunkyinFishnet | 6.6K | Mature

Stiles is a Guide who looks after catatonic or feral Sentinels. One day a grief-stricken fugue-state Derek is brought in and Stiles realizes that he's found his Sentinel. Now they've just got to get Derek out of his own head and able to bond.

Bonding for Beginners by Ember | 43.2K | Explicit

Sentinel AU where Stiles is a Guide looking for real connection, and Derek is a Sentinel forced to get a Guide.

Collide by Green | 36K | Mature

Guide Stiles Stilinski has been waiting his whole life to meet his one and only Sentinel, knowing everything will fall into place perfectly once he's bonded. Then along comes Derek Hale, his werewolf Sentinel, who already has a mate (alpha werewolf Peter Hale) and doesn't want anything to do with a new bond. Does Stiles even fit in the picture? Will he ever get his happily ever after, or was that just a childish dream?

On Anchors and Rudders by Unloyal_Olio | 15.1K | Mature

Stiles might be a sentinel, but Derek is a werewolf. Derek is not and never will be a guide.

W-e-r-e-w-o-l-f.

There is no way in hell he’ll be a guide. No. Way. In. Hell.

The Normal One? by hellbells | 10.9K | Explicit

Stiles had always prided himself on being the normal one in the pack. He was until an Alpha fight shows him just how wrong they all are. It just might be that he needs Derek to anchor him as much as Derek needs him.

It Started Out as a Feeling by flitterflutterfly | 15.4K | Explicit

When the newly bonded Sentinel Scott joins Derek Hale’s pack, Derek had just been happy that his group was growing larger and stronger. But Scott brings with him his old-temporary-guide-turned-friend named Stiles and the rest of Derek’s pack begin to conspire to get them together. And while Derek is attracted to Stiles, Stiles doesn’t want a full bond and Derek would never force that.

Who Needs A Guide? by LadyDrace | 3.7K

Derek is a sentinel who doesn't need a guide. Good thing, too, because what he ends up getting is in fact not a guide.

Ochre Moon by SOABA | 13.3K

Stiles has unknowingly spent years on medication designed to fully suppress his Sentinel Gene. Then, one day, the medicine stops working and it’s definitely Derek’s fault.

[spacedoutdandelion]

Thinking about a Sentinel & Guide AU for KN8 and how that’d work for any given pairing 😩

For the sake of my sanity:

KafHoshi-

If set before Hoshi gets 10, then it’d be Sentinel Kafka with Guide Hoshi. Because even with Hoshina’s cool demeanor he’s a softy at heart and he’d 110% have a weakness for Kafka with his puppydog eyes and how he recklessly overuses his senses to help others at his own risk.

Imagine how Narumi pushing Kafka to use his potential would just piss Hoshina off because he’s not there all the time to help Kafka reset his senses and it makes him worry. 🥺

But I imagine Hoshi after getting 10 being more like a sentinel. So Sentinel/Sentinel with them struggling to control their senses and unable to find comfort in each other despite not wanting anyone else. Very bittersweet.

Iharu/Reno-

Iharu would definitely be the guide! I think of this scene and how supportive he was for Reno and it makes my heart soft. Iharu would have chosen Reno, before Reno even realized they were a good match up for each other. They’d start out platonic and grow into more over time because their both stubborn about acknowledging their feelings.

NaruHoshi-

Thinking about Sentinel/Sentinel NaruHoshi and how they’d bring out the worst in each other, pushing each other past their limits and being each others downfalls but not caring in the slightest. Because why would that matter when they feel so free in the moment as they strive for greater heights - who cares if their senses are getting absolutely destroyed, one of them needs to be better and they both have that “it’ll be me” mentality.

but uh this is just my brainrot ramblings…don’t take me serious or anything 🫠

[i-am-as-normal-as-you-are]

Keep thinking about this Payneland Sentinels/Guides + Wing AU idea I had awhile ago SO y'all get to deal with me rambling

Quick info about Sentinels and Guides

~ A Sentinel is a person with enhanced senses (touch, sight, hearing, smelling, and taste), due to the enhanced senses it can become very overwhelming - similar to pulling a muscle, that can happen with their senses being too overstimulated

~ Guides help to ground and calm a Sentinel

~ Together they can help control and focus a Sentinel's abilities as well

Check out this cool Sentinels and Guides info post if you don't know what they are, the person does a great job explaining things

Now rambling time

Edwin is a Sentinel and Charles is a Guide

Overall Sentinels and Guides are rarities here, they were less known about during Edwin's time and were shunned - during Charles' time there was more knowledge on them but they still weren't really accepted by everyone - then modern day there's definitely better acceptance compared to the past + laws/rights protecting them

While Edwin was alive, he didn't have a Guide, but had some control to not get too overwhelmed due to his enhanced senses (or at least not show it around others, otherwise he'd definitely hear about it from his family)

But Hell threw that bit of control and composure out the window with how intense it was.

He thought that with escaping he'd be able to get some reprieve, but he still feels too much, and there's so many new things around him that it takes awhile to attempt adjusting.

Then he stumbles onto Charles and things start to feel a little less, more comfortable and controlled.

When Charles dies, they learn that he can't feel things like before, which they assume is the norm for ghosts. BUT he can feel Edwin perfectly fine, especially after bonding. He only has senses when it regards Edwin, like for example he can smell Edwin's ghostly hair pomade. Plus Charles is able to detect him nearby.

(I hc that a lot of ghost's senses are dulled or seem off compared to when alive, like touching things feel odd or smells seem dulled - so Charles would follow that logic + the special added bonus of properly feeling Edwin and his senses being able to detect Edwin due to being his Guide)

They learn that Edwin has all of his enhanced senses in tact, so for example he's still capable of tasting/eating but doesn't need to eat since he's a ghost so he doesn't see a point in doing it unless if it's necessary for a case (sometimes Edwin wishes he could give that capability to Charles since Charles reminisces and misses food a lot)

During the beginning, they basically had to stay attached at the hip. Anytime they'd tried to do something separately, Edwin would get spikes or zone-out frequently. Edwin hated feeling so useless plus thinking that he's trapped Charles where he won't move on due to Edwin's reliance on him - Charles does enjoy being around Edwin, he also really enjoys that he can feel and sense him, he's now in a world that he can't properly feel things like when alive but then there's Edwin as his beacon, but sometimes he worries that he's just using Edwin to feel something like 'Am I touching him too much, is he uncomfortable and just not saying anything?'

Things improve overtime where they can go do their own thing from time to time, but still just usually default to sticking together. They started taking on cases especially since Edwin's enhanced senses seemed perfect for it.

Also at first they bond and see it as plantonic.

It isn't till Crystal comes around which causes Edwin to have more territorial/protective instincts and jealousy come out regarding Charles + all of the stuff in Port Townsend, that they start to think about taking it further towards it being romantic.

(Bonus: Crystal thinking they're already together cause they constantly touch each other and have been caught cuddling together)

Then combining the wing au idea with the Sentinel/Guide stuff

So here Sentinels and Guides are also born with wings, at times it's used as a way to help easily spot others (So for example, in modern day if an unbonded Sentinel might be having a spike or zone-out, others might seek out the nearest person with wings who is an unbonded Guide to assist the Sentinel)

Edwin has the wings of a Little Owl and Charles has the wings of a Laggar Falcon

When alive, Edwin was to bind his wings and hide them so others wouldn't see them, only able to have them out in private. Then while in Hell, he had to learn the habit of keeping his wings tucked very close to his body or else they would be a huge liability.

Charles keeps his wings out since he finds them cool, but also tries his best to keep them under control. Too many instances of him getting too excited and his wings accidentally knocking something over... his dad wasn't happy.. (His dad hates his wings, but his mom praises how beautiful they are)

After they meet and Edwin binds his wings out of habit, Charles immediately puts a stop to it cause that CAN'T be healthy. But Edwin will still keep them closely tucked to his body.

Edwin has found that when Charles helps him calm down, he quite enjoys when Charles wraps his wings around him to encompass both of them. It helps block things out.

Then it took awhile, mainly due to Edwin not being as open about his wings, where they help preen/groom each other's wings

Edwin was used to making do on his own, while Charles usually had help from his mom. So it started with Charles asking for help, then Charles saw what Edwin was doing and decided that boy needs help (like 'Edwin this spot is an absolute mess cause you can't reach it properly, I'm helping you')

[alea-says]

Fic writing be like...

Me: Oh, here's a great idea for a one-shot!

My brain: but have you considered:

100 pages of world-building

20 subplots

3 possible sequels

[gerec]

1> Are there any noteworthy Sentinel/Guide Cherik fic?

2> Are there fics in which Charles loses his power and Erik helps/is with him through it?

Thank you <3

Hello friend, thank you for your patience! If you're still interested, here are some fics you might enjoy!

Sentinel & Guide

Natural Selection by manic_intent

Professor Charles Xavier is thirty-two years old when he meets his Sentinel, and as a credit to his half of the subspecies, he still manages to finish the seminar, run through a credible Q&A session, thank the Dean for the invitation to lecture as a guest at the Yale School of Medicine, before finally fleeing the theatre to find the nearest bathroom.

While he's busy throwing up into a toilet, he dimly hears the door to the bathrooms opening, then getting locked, and then someone is awkwardly patting him on the back, and Charles knows rather than sees that the Sentinel is conscientiously offering him tissues to wipe his mouth.

Maybe not a bastard, then.

this hope as an anchor for the soul by annejumps

Erik has been on his own since his parents died while being experimented on—they were a bonded Sentinel-Guide pair. It's been Erik's life mission to find and destroy facilities that experiment on Sentinels and Guides. Meanwhile, he's hoping he won't ever come online as a Sentinel himself.

Charles, a professor whose studies include the Sentinel-Guide gene, has been waiting a long time for his Sentinel to come online. But when he finally does, it seems he isn't interested in bonding....

A sense of worth by ximeria (part 1)

In a world where both sentinels and mutants are well known to the government, Charles enters a facility in order to find a mutant who needs his help.

He isn't expecting to find a guide who is compatible with himself. He isn't looking for one, damn it, and it will definitely make things more difficult, especially since he's not listed as a sentinel and Erik Lehnsherr killed his previous sentinel.

A sense of belonging by ximeria (part 2)

Erik likes his new home, but he knows he can't stay. He is so fucking damaged that even Charles Xavier, with all the patience in the world, doesn't want him around.

----

Erik helping Charles with his telepathy

Promise me, promise me by awriting_ghost

Based on this prompt:

"Oh now I want fic where somehow Erik is there when the serum starts wearing off, and he panics because what’s happening to Charles, and he watches him break down, he finally understands."

Powers and Control by flightinflame

Hank and the others turn up at the Brotherhood, asking for Erik's help. They might hate him, but he is the only one who has a chance of rescuing Charles and bringing him home.

Another excerpt from my buddie fic. First chapter is now complete (review pending), but will not be posted until I feel like I have a solid buffer between me and any future writer's block I might get. So y'all'll just have to deal with random exerts until then... Sorry (kind of).

@steadfastsaturnsrings

The tackle and landing didn’t stun the sentinel for long. Within moments Buck was dealing with 320ish pounds of struggling sentinel. Ignoring Bobby’s sharp shout of his name, and Eddie’s warning one, Buck flips the sentinel to his stomach, sets a knee on his lower back, and grips his wrists in his hands to be pulled behind him. Just before Buck could finish securing impressively large arms at their owner's lower back, a fully feral growl rumbled from low in the other sentinel’s chest. God damn it.

Buck takes a fortifying breath, gives a concerned Bobby and a narrow eyed Eddie a weak smile (knows they can both read his expression even through the mask), and shifts from firefighter Buck, to sentinel Buck.

When a sentinel goes feral it’s like the human part goes offline, all that remains are the instincts. The enhanced senses tearing into their minds and painting monsters in everything around them. There’s no space for rational thought when you need to save yourself (and whatever you might be protecting) from any number of unknown monsters. Only bloodshed, only survival. Thankfully, while Buck might only be a little above the average size for a sentinel, he was well over average for everything else.

In his mindless need to escape/fight/survive, the larger sentinel rears up with his considerable strength, a hairs breadth from smashing Buck’s face with the back of his head. Regretfully, in avoiding that hit Buck has to let some of his weight off the body beneath him. That was all the space the other sentinel needed to twist out of Buck’s restraining hold and face him, body crouched low to the ground, coiled for motion, teeth bared, and growl rumbling.

With deliberately sedated motion, Buck matches the other sentinel, low growl of his own reverberating from his chest and vibrating the already precarious floor and walls.

Thing is, Buck has always been a particularly strong sentinel. Not just his physical strength, which was damn near off the charts, but in all other aspects, too. Most sentinels have some degree of enhanced senses, high protective instincts, and a natural talent for combat. What very few know about, and even less seen (let alone have), is body enhancement. A universe given talent to change how their bodies move for a limited amount of time. Dodge faster, hit harder, recover quicker. There’s a reason that Tsunami couldn’t keep Buck down.

Whatever happened to BDSM AUs are they still a thing? Is that something I can write in the year of our lord 2024

[frownyalfred]

Have you thought about writing fics in sentinel and guide AU? Where they can have their own spirit animal as well and connected in the mind and like feel each other and like- so much more :000

I just did a quick search, and I’m shocked that there are only a handful of sentinel/guide fics for DC.

I’ve never written that trope before but I do enjoy reading it. I’ve never heard about the spirit animal thing before though.

"Obviously we’re getting married, but do you also want to mate whenever my next heat is?”

Eddie tensed a bit—another thing that he had not considered. There was going to be a whole list of those, he was sure.

A purr rumbled from Evan’s chest at the change in his fiance’s posture and scent. “It’s a while off still, Eddie. Nothing to panic over. We have months, at least, before it comes around again.”

“I thought you had heats twice a year?”

He shrugged as well as he could, not wanting to really move that much since he had gotten so comfortable. “It’s kind of like going through puberty. You know how your ruts were unpredictable for a couple of years?” At Eddie’s confirming nod against his hair, he continued, “Well, I only presented about a year ago. So far I’ve had two—my first one that showed I was an omega and one just a couple of months ago.”

“But, technically, you could have one next week.”

“Yeah, I could,” he admitted.

-🗺️-

“Well, now everyone thinks we have two dogs, if they can see into the backyard anyway. One of them might be nosy enough to try, but they don’t really share much of a boundary with us,” Eddie said, gesturing vaguely toward the corner opposite where they were standing. With how high the fence was and the fact that Eddie had a couple of fruit trees there, Buck could see why he would be confident in saying that they were unlikely to be able to tell. There was little in the way of area that they would be able to see through.

“Bear is very happy to play fetch, and Chris really seems to be having a good time with it.” He nodded back towards the house. “You want to go inside, and we can work a little bit more on getting you some filters instead of just shields?”

He sighed heavily. Almost whining, much like his spirit guide could, he asked, “Do we have to?”

“Well, no, of course not. But you really do need to learn how to do more than shield, Eddie. You don’t want to lose control.”

It took a long moment, but then he turned back to the house. “Fine. I don’t need to bring everybody around if I had an empathic event.”

To Be Known (in return) - McDanno Sentinel/Guide AU - Secret Santa Gift Fic

The first time Danny saw Steve - he knew the other man was his Guide. Which was a rather inconvenient realization to have while they were both pointing their guns at each other. For more than one reason. Firstly because, well, pointing their guns at at each other. Secondly because Danny doesn't need (doesn't deserve) a Guide. He knows how this goes - he knows what people say behind his back (how they seem to assume his lack of a guide means he can't hear them). He knows how this ends. So he says nothing.

H50 Secret Santa gift fic for @weresilver whose wants included:
