(Apologies in advance - this rec/review is a bit all over the place!)

YES! IT IS HISTORICAL AU TIME! J I adore AUs – most especially historical AUs. I wonder if that’s partly because I knew Gordon Jackson from Upstairs Downstairs before I got sucked into Pros, so I have double vision when I look at him – half of me is all, “George Cowley! Tough dude in charge of a tough secret police! Can I get a morally questionable YAY here?” while part of me is going, “Waitaminute! Who thought it would be a good idea to leave HUDSON in charge of a secret police force?!?!”



Mostly though, I just wonder how Bodie and Doyle would fit into the Upstairs Downstairs type of world.



Even though it’s not quite the right period, Victorian rather than Edwardian, JoJo’s ‘The Mistletoe Fairy’ provides the gloriously slashy answers to all of my questions :)
