Blame it on Ray-Oh! by L.A. Scotian (NC-17)
I have not to introduce me this time; I am still the pesky Bodie/Cowley lover: the one and the same. But I must reassure you at once; as soon as I'll have put on display the three or four Cowley centered stories I've still in stock, I'll come back to a more classic choice. To say all, I had completely forgotten February was a 28 days month! That's the reason why I asked for the permission to stay a little more, to have enough time to flog my stuff (Anyway there was no volunteer for this fandom this month, so you really have lost nothing).
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Cowley/Doyle (yes, yes!)
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:
Mostly because after so many (not enough to my taste) stories pairing Bodie/Cowley, it was only fair to award a place to the symmetric pairing Doyle/Cowley. Moreover I know a few eccentrics (!!!) in lJ land and "Pros" lists who don't hide their bent.
Though L.A. Scotian is obviously another avatar of M. Fae Glasgow, the present story can hardly be taken as the counterpart or the equivalent for C/D of what Step We Gaily was to B/C. No need for me to write an eloquent plea in order to thwart a controversy about Cowley's character. Not that this Cowley were anyhow better than the former one; he is much worse! But he is also innocuously weird (as well as queer), not in character at all and not pretending to be, and more funny than disturbing.
To be more precise, it's a totally AU story, where Doyle is a rent boy and where the controller of CI5 let his lewd thoughts overcome his usually more lucid mind. As ever, M Fae Glasgow shows her unsuperable talent in describing lust and inner sexual turmoil. I looked for examples but couldn't choose any: I should have quoted half of the story! As for the psychological insights, they are as cruelly true as they are sharply delineated.
There is little more to add; as always with this author, whose style is so personal and recognizable, this short piece of writing is perfectly neat and cleverly done, though much lighter than most of her other works.
