Why this must be read: Because it’s a wonderful version of that most Christmas of tales. After falling out with his partner on Christmas Eve, Bodie goes home to wrestle with his feelings. No sooner has he fallen asleep on the sofa than he's visited by... oh you know where I’m going with this!

Ancasta weaves all the traditional elements of Scrooge, Tiny Tim, etc, into the CI5 world seamlessly. She’s a writer who excels at the details, at atmosphere, and here she layers things up beautifully. Right up until that final lightbulb goes off for our lad..

"How you doin', Bodie?" Charlie asked with an answering smile. He looked healthier than Bodie had ever seen him. Dressed in navy trousers and suit jacket with a white, open-collared shirt, he could have been heading out for a night on the town. "You look well."

"I'm fine," Bodie said. "I'm doing fine. I'd ask the same…"

Charlie nodded, his smile undimmed. "But I'm dead."

"There is that, yeah," Bodie agreed, amused by the exchange, yet saddened by the memory that accompanied it.

I have a special place for Ancasta in my fandom life. She's such a talented writer and she recs the best stories! But even more so, she's an utterly fantastic vidder who's more than willing to help out when someone (who, I wonder?) cries about their vids and needs a hand. *g*

Do read her stories (in any fandom, mind!) and watch her vids.

Agreed:)) In any fandom she's worth reading and watching.
