Pleasure Bent by Sebastian (NC-17)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author's Website: http://www.zeropanic.net/
Author on LJ: No
Why this must be read:
Sebastian's virtues need no extolling in the Pros world, and it feels almost redundant to rec her stories. Still, there is so much to love about her fic, and anyway it's never a hardship to revisit the classics....
In Pleasure Bent, Ray discovers a mysterious (to him) sex toy - a set of pleasure beads - in Bodie's flat. Bodie delicately enlightens Ray regarding their purpose, and Ray's imagination fills in the details; aroused and curious, he persuades Bodie - without much difficulty - to act on the attraction they've been feeling for each other for some time now, and they end up in bed, the beads forgotten. Then, years later, their relationship firmly established, Ray finds the beads again; much to Bodie's exasperation he's forgotten their purpose entirely, so this time Bodie demonstrates, ensuring he'll never again forget.
Pleasure Bent is one of what I think of as Sebastian's "small" stories - not heavy or weighty or angsty, but sexy and sweet, dripping with her characteristic languid sensuality. It's a love story from start to finish, and Sebastian excels at these: there is a dreamy, "liquid," almost visceral feel to her writing that makes her exceptionally effective at evoking feelings and conveying emotion. This is the type of story that gladdens you, warms you deep inside and leaves you with a profound and poignant feeling of "rightness."
