Stealing Home by Sandy Herrold (Teen and up)

Firstly, many apologies for going missing.  I had to pull into a layby to try and fix the laptop, then fail, then go and buy a new laptop, then - Windows 8.  Need I say more?  Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: 15,147 words
Why this must be read: This is a lovely view of the partnership between Bodie and Doyle, and how one old friend of Bodie's can upset the applecart.  We see Doyle learning more about Bodie - and getting it wrong, sometimes: "It was so far from what he’d expected, he was reminded again how little he knew Bodie at times ".  We also see Doyle almost getting into a spot of trouble with Bodie's friend Jerry, prompting some classic Doyle self-analysis and angst.  How our lads manage to extricate themselves from all the misunderstandings, and how they get together, is beautifully told with flashes of humour and a good descriptive turn of phrase.  I was a bit surprised to find that this hasn't been recced here before - at least, not that I can find. Even if it has, it's some time ago, so I do hope you enjoy this as much as I do.                   Stealing Home
