teasa.aiSentinel and Guide stories you can play
The Sentinel and Guide trope pairs someone whose senses run dangerously high with the one person built to ground them: without a guide, a sentinel spirals into overload; without a sentinel, a guide has no one to anchor. That dependency is what makes it work as an interactive Story, since every reply helps keep the bond stable.
This collection is set across sentinel-guide worlds built around the bond: an unbonded sentinel nearing the edge, a guide assigned against their will, a match neither expected to work this well. Scenes open at the point the bond is tested, a sensory overload, a first true sync, an assignment neither chose, so you can play the moment two strengths become one dependency.

How to choose
Decide whether you want to play the sentinel or the guide side of the bond, since the two roles carry very different tension: control and vulnerability versus steadiness and responsibility. Pick a Story based on how the bond forms, assigned, accidental or fought for, since that shapes how much trust your character starts with.
