B & D Beside the Sea by Sebastian (PG-13)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: no
Author Website: no
Why this must be read: I might as well state my bias upfront: Sebastian is my favourite writer. If I could recommend only one author to be read, it would be Sebastian (there may be more than one writer by this name in fandom at large; this is the Sebastian who wrote Pros and Blake's 7 slash in the 1980's and 90's). One of the cool things about her writing is that a significant change can be seen in it over the years she was in fandom. She developed as a writer, increasingly producing more layered and complex texts. Hence, her later stories are more often recced. Her earlier work comprises mostly simpler, often sweeter, tales, many of them first-time situations: and they're just as fine in their way as the later ones, and more beloved by some fans than her mature work.
So, moving on from specific holidays to what the lads get up to during their time off, here's an older circuit story of Bodie and Doyle at the beach. We get Sebastian's trademark melding of under-the-skin character depiction with snapshot scene-setting in a first-time story set on the solid rock of their long-term partnership. It serves up a wholly charming dish of sun, sea, sand, suntan oil, and sex.
