First Week Back Fic Challenge!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I suspect it's the first full week back at work for lots of people, after the general Christmas/New Year bacchanalia, and I was thinking that it'd be nice to have lots of lads over the next five days to help us get through it. So I was wondering...

What are your five favourite Pros-y cheer-up fics? The ones that leave you all happy and smiling after you've read them? (Or, for choice-wimps like me, what are five of your favourite Pros-y cheer-up fics..?) Long or short, any kind of story at all - but the ones that leave you with a grin in your bones?

To start off, mine might be... Hmmn......

1) From Here to Eternity by Ginny and Hestia - how much do I love this fic? It makes me giggle! The dog! The hole in the road and the puzzled bloke and eternally grumpy Doyle, and...ahhh, the ending...! *g*

2) Professional Dreamer by Pam Rose - just working out what's going on makes me smile every time...

3) In Hot Water: An Idyll by J.M. - Bodie-who-loves-animal-watching, and Doyle-who-loves-Bodie-who-loves-Doyle... and the way they're bashed around in the van together en route... *g*

4) Gift of the Moggy - another one that makes me giggle, even though I'm not usually big on pets... but... A wide yawn, full of good sharp mouse-vertebrae-snapping teeth. A more challenging target than the big drinking bowl.... Hee. *g*

5) The Larton Chronicles - well, you knew I couldn't miss them off my happy-making list, right? Just soooo right, so our AU lads, so witty and full of love and certainty and the job of B/D being together... "All them planes, off to exotic places," Jack said, "Where's that one off to, girl?" - "Glasgow," Agnes said, shortly. (sorry, paraphrased, but what gorgeous understated hee!)

So that's me. Would anyone else suggest us some Prosfic to cheer us through this second week in January? Either here, or better still in a new post so that we have lots of lads popping up in our flists too... *g*
