Battles Long Ago by Rhiannon (G)

Why this must be read: Because there is so much wonderful Pros fic that's not yet online! Battles Long Ago is available on the ProsLib CD-rom of Pros stories (link below) for the cost of burning it onto CD, and postage, and the CD is well worth it for gems such as this. Rhiannon is one of my favourite Pros writers - she writes AU lads, and in this case has even turned bits of canon on their head - Bodie is an artist - but somehow there's such a spirit of our our lads there, that I'd know them anywhere. In Battles Long Ago Bodie lives in Scotland with his aunt, somewhat secluded after a traumatic event that left him with fragmented memories. One day he finds himself painting a portrait of another man... and an old military gent called Cowley moves into the neighbourhood... Something is haunting Bodie... It's a gentle, poignant story, that always leaves me a little haunted too - it's a story with feeling and atmosphere and heart, my favourite kind!

Battles Long Ago - not online, but available from the ProsLib CD.

Anyone who doesn't have the CD is welcome to contact me for a copy of the (lovely) story.
