Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: None
Why this must be read:

I've always liked stories where you see the lads' relationship through others' eyes. In this one you see them not just from Cowley's pov but also Kate Ross' (I know, not a lot of fans seem to like her but I do,) and Ann Holly's. That Miss Holly also gets her come-uppance doesn't hurt, either. Now there's a character to dislike! The writer has also managed to add two OFCs that won't set off your MarySue alert; at least, they didn't mine. Doyle's family is also well-drawn.

That Bodie and Doyle belong together is unquestionable. But I like how the author works in what could happen if they didn't manage to get together, what it would do to one or both of them if happenstance or, in this case, outside interference were to separate them. Though the course of true love doesn't always run smoothly, it pushes all my buttons when it's presented as inevitable.
