The Chameleon's Dish by Kitty Fisher
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://www.devinemadness.com/kittyfisher/home.htm
Why this must be read:
This story has just the right amount of dark for me. Grim but not hopeless, it's a look at what the lads could be driven to without turning them into caricatures. Bodie's pain is almost palpable as he goes about seeking his revenge. And while I certainly understood Bodie's motivation, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Doyle whose guilt and sorrow are slowly eating him alive.
I do have a small quibble...and it is small, indeed. Eight years is a long time. I think I could have more easily bought into it if their time apart had been three or four years at the most. But that one item certainly doesn't detract from my enjoyment. And the image presented of the older Bodie and Doyle more than make up for it.
