 The GDP stories by Susan Foster is an alternate universe Sentinel Fan Fic series in which sentinels and guides are common and well-known to the public. Sentinels are widely respected due to their positions as protectors of society, and are given a status which is (largely) above the law. Their empathic guides, however, are treated as property, by the general public, sentinels — and by the sinister Guide Development Program, a Government Agency of Fiction in charge of training, organizing, and policing guides. The series follows Jim, a sentinel who never wanted a guide due to the inherent Unfortunate Implications of the thing, and Blair, who never wanted to be a guide for obvious reasons and who has about two years of serious trauma to work through (including rape and torture, so be warned, although very little actually occurs on-screen), as they try to make the most of their recent empathic bonding, and of their Crapsack World.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's one of the most influential fics in The Sentinel fandom, having introduced numerous concepts and terms to fanon. Also, it has loads of characters. Loads and loads of them.

 Berserk Button: Jim has a plethora of these, most revolving around Blair. Combine this with the fact that he's a sentinel who, a.) tends to go feral whenever any given button is pushed, and b.) is largely above the law where his guide is concerned, and it's a wonder he hasn't killed more or less everyone he knows. This is a trait of sentinels in general.

 Brainwash Residue: Jim (and numerous other friendly characters) has to help Blair overcome the fear responses conditioned into him by Alex and by Wilson and his cronies. Said responses mostly involve the observation of draconian guide etiquette, including kneeling in public and not eating without permission.
