Too true, but then again, anything by M. Fae Glasgow is worth reading... especially her Pros fanfiction. Call me biaised. :D

This story is a very nice contrast to her usual horribly angsty stuff, and the beautiful pdf file from Oblique Publications does make for an easy-to-print fic. Good rec, but then again is it not easy to go wrong with the Professionals which is really chockful of great stories.

And look, Ma! No hands and no unusual pairings required to keep the quality and originality of Pros stories after more than 20 years. Heh.

Obviously I agree with you, but when I first came into Pros fandom I was warned off MFG, probably because she doesn't do 'nice'.

Mm... yes. And even her fluff usually has teeth. Honestly, you must have noticed by now that Pros doesn't exactly tend to sap. Frankly that's the way I like it...

But try my favorite by her, 'My Beautiful Launderette', also available at Oblique Publications here: http://www.oblique-publications.net/archives/2note/8_2QBeautiful.pdf
I think you'll like it.

I admit that is another reason Pros has been my preferred fandom for over 5 years. Call me narrow-minded. :D

Currently, the only access to it that I can find is through the Internet Archive at

(or click here (http://www.oblique-publications.net/archives/bdictumi/1_BeneIShopping.pdf) if that link breaks apart.)

Thanks for the post - my eyes may be deceiving me, but your link looks exactly like the link I posted, which is working fine.

Consarn it! I was trying to paste in the Internet Archive address. The beginning part of it appears to have been stripped out of both the plain address and the link. (I have no idea why Oblique Publications would not come up for me last night; all I know is that it would not, and both Yahoo and Google pretended then that they knew nothing about it.)

Okay, just in case: paste in the first address, then paste in the second address immediately following it.

Of course, that's only in the situation where Oblique Publications seems to have disappeared from the face of the net. Glad it wasn't truly so.

Amen! That site has some of my most favourite stories!
