THREE MEN WALK INTO A BAR by DRAYCEVIXEN (explicit)

Collision day!! (When crossovers are allowed/encouraged without counting towards the monthly total of recs.)

It was a very small collision with just a scratch and the two fandoms have politely exchanged insurance details. They also have a police incident number (Sam insisted) although nobody was hurt.


Fandoms: THE PROFESSIONALS/LIFE ON MARS
Pairings: Bodie/Sam, Bodie/Doyle, Gene/Sam
Length: 3591 words

Why this must be read: This is a short and amusing crossover. The two shows cover a similar period, both in UK, so the idea of the guys meeting is perhaps inevitable but the startling thing here is that Sam ‘remembers’ the TV show of Pros... Everyone ends up with the right partner and even an Indian meal. There is a small prequel/sequel ficlet (294 words) called Sammy’s Crush, all written in dialogue between Sam and Gene which is worth reading after the main fic, even for Pros fans. Draycevixen tells us in the comments on the Hatstand version (Three Men Walk Into A Bar) of the longer fic that: John Simm said during an interview that he modelled Sam's look and haircut on Bodie. A collision of real and fictional worlds as well as of fandoms!

I could blame my mates for it but It just made so much sense to my little cracked brain. I even wrote another little piece with Cowley and Gene discussing their lads.

Almost everything of mine is now up at AO3 apart from a few series that I'd like to finish before posting there. In most cases, they've also been edited further as the Hatstand locks you out from editing after a short period of time.
