Author Website: Sebastian's Professionals fiction can be found at the Circuit Archive and The Hatstand.
Why this must be read:

This is my favorite Sebastian story, bar none. It's tender and sexy and bittersweet to the point of heartwrenching, all rolled up in a gorgeous mini-tour of Italy. Bodie and Doyle holiday together, trying to forget their workaday lives - at least temporarily - but they can't quite avoid the spectre of George Cowley and CI5. Sebastian does a wonderful job of building the tension between them, their feelings so real and intense that they pull you in and make you complicit.

The original lay-out is also at the Oblique site :)

One of my top favourite stories (apart from a couple minor glitches re: the Italian background ;) - this story is so incredibly, unbelievably intense, it makes me thoughtful for days, everytime I re-read it...thanks for the rec!

That's actually where the links on Hatstand lead. I just refer people to the Hatstand archive because that's organized by author, where the Oblique site is organized by zine title.

When I think of Sebastian, this and The Smallest Room are the stories that first spring to mind. I'm glad you enjoy it, too.

I'm enjoying your recs very much, and what a lovely icon you have :)

Not a favorite at all. Very disappointing from a talented writer.
