Not Even Good-bye by Rob (teen)

Still okay in the back, there? Not travel sick? We’re not going very far today – we’re still in London and we’re just heading down towards the river. Although I’m still in Jubilee mode the river is now clear and back to its normal self, and here are Bodie and Doyle messing about in boats.

Why this must be read: Because Rob has written some lovely fic, and this is one of my all-time favourites. It’s sentimental, but it shows the depth of feeling between our lads and what might happen if one of them disappears and the other thinks it’s his fault. Something else I like about this fic is that there are new agents here, and instead of all being one happy A-squad, there are real tensions between the old hands and the young guns. So, yes, it’s sweet, but it also shows a gritty side to the team and to Cowley’s interventions.

This is one of my favourite pros fics and for exactly the reasons you outline. Its sincere, its angst-filled and its our lads to the core. I love it and keep coming back to it time and time again.
