Pros Fic Reading Challenge - Orpeus Turns Around by Halotolerant

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd read all this author's fic, but I don't remember reading this one before - thanks tinturtle for the rec!

There were a few inconsistencies that made me blink, and a few places that seemed a bit overwrought, and I'm not entirely sure I can believe that the lads speak fluent Italian (!), but I enjoyed it in general. It's a post-Diag story too, which somehow always appeals. *g*

Pros Fic Reading Challenge - more by Elessar

Um, I have a gripe. I know most of us have favorite tropes, and many writers have headcanon that turns up in more than one story.

But imagine this: Bodie and Doyle share a flat. They argue one night, and Bodie storms out, so he ends up sleeping in the VIP lounge. The next morning, red roses are delivered to HQ with a card saying, "I love you forever," and signed Rachel. Or Ramona.

I mean, OK. I am not moved to tears, but sure, I can go with that romantic gesture. Once. Not in two stories that are otherwise set in separate B/D universes. Tsk, tsk, Elessar. I hope you, fellow fans, read them in the same order I did, The first one had a premise I was barely there for anyway, and if it had been the SECOND one, I might just have quit reading Elessar.

Well, onward. (Nobody would do that THREE times. Right?)

Pros Fic Reading Challenge - Breaking Cover by Ellis Ward

On The Circuit Archive. I love Ellis Ward's fic. I might have read this before... it's one of those stories when somebody from Bodie's past turns up. Post DIAG.
And wants him. And he wants Doyle. A very slow build, but not frustrating.
