Why this must be read: My final rec for the month is a story that is, very sadly, not online at all, but can be found via emailing Gryphon Press (scroll through this list). It's one of my very favourite Pros stories, because it's hugely long and lush throughout. The author is beautifully adept at putting both Bodie and Doyle, and the reader, through the wringer, so that it feels we're breathing right along with our lads, and feeling their every heartbeat. Her stories are realistic and gritty, and Redemption is no exception, but her lads turn out to be just as I imagine from the eps - reacting just as they probably would to the various twists and turns of that wringer... and they're eternally in love, which is what I want from any Pros fic. The link below or the email above should help you find this zine - it's absolutely worth it...

One of my all-time favorite Pros stories. I love novels, and this one is absolutely wonderful. A great story from a great writer.

One of the first half-dozen zines I bought, and I am so glad it was. It's definitely one for the angst-lovers, but oh, the strength of the emotions on all sides...

I loved this zine so much that I bought a copy for a non-zine-buying friend, just so she could have it as well. It broke my heart over and over again but kept me riveted throughout.
