Catch A Fallen Star by Rosemary (NC-17)

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

Okay, here I am again, driving the Pros crack_van for the month of January.

Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: tiranog
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: I can't imagine there's too many Pros fans that haven't heard of this story. But it's only recently been made available for net readers, for so long only available in zine form. Not reccing it wasn't to be imagined. There's everything I love in a Pros story here: great characterization, a long, involved plot, and a love between the lads that's so sweet yet strong enough to see them through the worst of circumstances. Both men are portrayed the way I like them best; their faults are more than apparent but their finer qualities more than make up for them. And not only do you get the story, but the beautiful Suzan Lovett illo that went with it, plus the two companion pieces. I can't recommend the story enough.

A Reminder of a Fave Fandom

Thank you for rec'ing this story. I'm one of the few Pros fans who hadn't heard of it, and the opportunity to read it was wonderful. Also, thank you for reminding me of how much I like this fandom - it's been awhile since I've done any reading in Pros, and I'd forgotten just how much I love the fandom and this pairing.

It is a wonderful story and I'm glad it brought you back to reading Pros. Can't help but love the lads. :-)

I've been in the fandom for about a year and a half now and I hadn't heard of it either. This story has gone on my list of favorites.

Hm, maybe because I tend to be more zine-oriented, I figured more people knew about it then did, though I've seen it mentioned often. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it so much; it's a true classic, imo.

I'd not heard of it until it came across one of the lj communities a day or so before it was recced here. I am pretty much an online fic afficiendo!

Thanks for reccing it because it is a simply amazing fic :)

You're welcome. :-) I'm very much the reverse, reading zines before getting to the on-line stories. But reccing for the Van sort of forces me to get more into the net stories. Of course, a lot of them, like this one, were published in a zine first, making them old friends.
