Alfresco by Dorinda (R)
Fandom: THE PERSUADERS!
Pairing: Danny Wilde/Lord Brett Sinclair
Author Website: Dorinda's bare bones page
Why this must be read:
There were several Persuaders fics in the yuletide swap this year – joy! – and it seems like I should control myself and only rec one, so, whatever you do, don't miss Alfresco. It's set after the episode Five Miles to Midnight, which ends with Brett and Danny – at an early, cautiously friendly period in their acquaintance, with less of the sneering and sparring but before the comfortable intimacy – finishing up a rough couple of days by getting stranded in the middle of nowhere, essentially because they were paying more attention to each other than to their shared woman. But she'll come back for them – right? Between the relief from danger, the stress of their current predicament, and the beautiful Italian countryside, it's a holiday or a disaster in the making... depending on who you ask.
This fic gives a thoughtful, serious take on the characters, with bits of backstory that'll sink into your personal canon immediately, and – no, in the interests of keeping this rec short, instead of raving on in detail I'll just say, imagine you've been handed a bowl of the most delicious, top-quality chocolate mousse to savour spoonful by luscious spoonful, only the more you have, the more you crave. Mmmmm. Now go, read! Read!
Boy, if Brett didn't wipe the smug look off his face, it was gonna freeze like that. "Fine. Have it your way." He thrust out his hand, and Brett enfolded it in his own. They shook. And maybe Danny squeezed a little harder than was totally necessary, but Brett didn't flinch.
"Yeah, I just hate to take candy from a babe, that's all," Danny said, kicking a pebble out of the way. "She'll be back. You know she's crazy about me."
"Oh, certainly. Not counting the last two words, of course."
