A Pros Valentines Day - Vid Rec and Mini-Challenge

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I was wandering my folder of Pros vids just now, and suddenly realised that today might be a very appropriate day to post up a reminder of this one in particular...

...made by Josey for the Discovered in Temptation challenge way back in April 2007! It's not on YouTube (as far as I know) but even better it's available for download - click on the pic above for the links!

Screencaps can't do the vid justice, but to show you how pink and Valentines it is - but it's hugely good fun, and it's all our lads (not soppy!)

And then I started wondering what my favourite lads-in-love Pros fic was, which is not necessarily the same as a favourite Pros fic in general, although I think in my case it might be... *g* And then I started wondering what yours was, and whether we could make a list... *vbg* So... what's your favourite lads-in-love Pros fic, the one that you'd like to cuddle up with, on Valentine's Day? *g* Why's it so good? Maybe a wee bit to whet our appetites?

To start us off - here's perhaps my favourite lads-in-love story (as well as being perhaps still my favourite Pros fic in general. I'll let Doyle tell you what it's about (pretend to be Bodie in a coma...):

You know what I've been thinking about? Don't know why. France, La Belle France. And you and me that first night.
One of the best nights of my life that was--strange as it may seem.
Reminds me of that old one-liner: "But apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?" Haven't been able to look a prawn cocktail in the face since, have you?
Whatever's on my mind, she said. Well what the hell. We're on our own here, aren't we?
You sitting comfortably, Bodie? I want to tell you a story...

Well, that was certainly a lot better than all the pink made me think it would be - what fun :0)

Definitely adding that to my list of vid 'likes'.

It's an excellent vid, isn't it - just full of energy and really good fun! You know, I had a line about it having been made tongue in cheek, but looking back I deleted it and didn't replace it - I've done that now, cos the pink should definitely not put people off!

Seconded - definitely NOT SOPPY!!!

A lads-in-love story, hmm - well ... Valentine's not the right kind of sentiment(ality) for them usually, I think, but I can think of maybe one story that does a lovely job of combining the lads with this holiday: one of the sections in The Hag's Raymond's Joy series has them encountering a Valentine's acrostic in the company of their current girlfriends, and Bodie nicks it unseen and fills in their names instead of Beatrice and Dante :-) (and doesn't actually show it to Ray until many months later *g*)

Lol - I agree, our lads wouldn't be the Valentine's type (though I could see them going through the motions to keep a current girlfriend happy if they'd had to cancel plans etc. and thought it might help keep them sweet). Not with each other though.. *g* I don't remember that bit out of Raymond's Joy, perhaps I need to re-read! *g*

Mostly I thought our lads are generally in love, and that it'd been a while since I'd seen our lads together in my flist (and work's been a nightmare, so I'm feeling particularly deprived!) - so you know, any excuse *g*

"Man Without A Clue"

Because I could totally, completely see it happening this way...

Ooh, I don't remember this one - I shall print it out and have a read tomorrow! *vbg* (Great title, too *g*)
