The Christmas Story by DVS (NC-17)
Text: Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: Not that I could find
Author Website: The Circuit Archive's Profile for DVS (could not find a personal website)
Why this must be read:
When I was checking the past recs I saw that DVS has been recced a number of times, but it's for very good reason, and this is possibly my favourite Christmas story, so here it is. *grin* It's a lovely first time story with an original yet subtle twist to how it works out, and the atmosphere it creates is just fantastic. I actually felt as if I was cut off from the world, surrounded by snow, yet just warm enough wrapped up in the story, in Bodie and Doyle's world, watching as they shared a Christmas and a peaceful job together, fulfilling a few wishes and warming my heart. And it's the details which help to build up this atmosphere; of the surroundings, of Bodie and Doyle's thoughts, and of their very interactions, including, of course, the banter.
DVS has a real way with words (unlike me, unfortunately), and it was anything but a chore to read through this again, to experience it all over again, and then try to put it across in words. All I can suggest is reading it (or even rereading it) for yourself to fully understand what I'm trying to explain so poorly *blushes* -- it's just that good.
