Into the Fire by Callisto (NC-17)


Gosh - the month has flown past. This is my final rec on the van, and again I've gone with one of my favourite authors.

Before I get to the nitty gritty though, thanks so much to everyone who's commented on my efforts (bless you *g*), and also I can thoroughly recommend signing up to take the old jalopy out for a spin yourself - I've had more fun than I imagined, and trawling through the previous recs pages has made me realise how many stories and authors I still haven't read. Bliss! I'd also like to give you the link to the introductory post on the van for the Pros, which has got hard to access since LJ's last funny five minutes. It's brilliantly put together by [livejournal.com profile] phantomas.


Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: 16700 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65
Author Website: On AO3
Why this must be read: This is one of those wonderful fics that's just got the lot: passion and misunderstandings, angst, Bodie hurt and Doyle as the caregiver, wonderful dialogue, believable motives and emotions, and bedroom scenes that manage to be both hot and fun at the same time. And best of all, Callisto still manages to deliver the lads as they are on screen, bickering, bitching... them, warts and all.

Callisto's writing is always a pleasure, and this is one of her longer fics, written for the CI5 Box of Tricks Big Bang in 2010. If you haven't already read it, wait until you have a couple of free hours, curl up, and indulge yourself. Enjoy!

Oh, lovely story to end on. Looking forward to whoever takes up the baton next.

"I've had more fun than I imagined"
Honestly, it showed! I find it really nerve-wracking doing crack_van, although I think I may have another go - perhaps it's easier the more you do it? But I have adored the exuberance of your recs as much as the recs themselves. Are you signing up again? :)

Thanks for all your GREAT recs this month - many of which I had never seen before! You got me back into reading Pros fic, which I had shockingly abandoned rather once I had found TS and DS. But I'm back to stay now! And thank you too for all your support with my own CV traumas this month!
:D

I wondered why I was feeling funny...

I love this story, I really do and I think it's one of my favourite Callisto stories. The scenes in the hospital with Angela are some of the best I've ever read and so well observed.

Thanks so much for all the recs you've made, I've enjoyed them.
