Ringing in the Changes by PFL (NC-17)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: not known
Why this must be read:
My Excuse: here in Australia it’s just past the Winter Solstice. It’s ranging 6 – 16 degrees C in the City, and there’s snow on the Blue Mountains (Yah, poor me). That’s about as cold as it gets in NSW unless you go inland or south to the Snowies. Therefore I feel free to rec fics that have a winter/Christmas theme.
OK, Ringing in the Changes needs no excuse. It’s one of the best ever Pros fics in it’s own right, and candidate for head of the class in the 21st century writing school. Charting the relationship between Bodie and Doyle it covers the years from 1975 until 1983, starting 19 December and finishing 27 December, leaping a year and a day each chapter. I gave it to a friend who gave it to a non-slasher fan in her office, who loved it ("You realise there's sex in it?" “oh, that’s just the boys, it’s OK”). Solid story, realistic plotting. Great sex. Just enough angst. Finely tuned relationship dynamics.
Just go read.
