So Much for Wishes... by Ellis Ward (PG-13)

Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: no
Author Website: no

Why this must be read:

Continuing the leave theme, this story is a slight cheat. It does indeed recount what Bodie and Doyle get up to during a weekend off work, when they have plans to go into the countryside on their motorbikes. However, matters go a tad astray for them due to supernatural intervention. Their days off become an oddly charming journey together as they realise the nature of their feelings for each other.

Ellis Ward has a style that pays close attention to detail. It's a type of writing I enjoy; it also helps in this instance to ground in a workaday reality a story that could seem entirely wonky. And...I can't say more for fear of spoilers. :g:

I find that I truly adore supernatural stories, sci fi stories, death stories where they are ghosts or angels. I love reincarnation stories. So of course I would love this one. The author brings home the true horror for Bodie of Doyle getting his wish.

Oh, yay, I'm glad you like it! I love the details of their day Ellis Ward so beautifully depicts, especially the scene in which they clean their guns, with Bodie compensating for his smaller hands and the companionableness they share even in that bizarre situation. It's a homage to how well they fit together that they are as right together with Bodie's changed form as they are in their normal selves. Anyway, very pleased you enjoyed this one. :)
