Prosfic Rec Advent Calendar - Day 16 - ’Tis The Season

'Tis the Season by Courtney Gray

I love stories where the Lads’ relationship is seen through someone else’s eyes. And so much the better when it’s followed from the very beginning to, well, not the end, but to another beginning.

Anson is our guide as Bodie and Doyle go from hating the sight of each other, to sharing a true and loving Christmas. The reader never sees more than Anson does, but that’s okay, because the love is truly there for all to see.

Moving to the door, Anson called back to them, "Take care of yourselves," he said, meaning it and knowing they would.
"'Tis the season," quipped Doyle with a chip-toothed grin.
"Happy Christmas," added Bodie.
"Same to you." With a smile, Anson pulled up the collar of his jacket, and walked out into the cold.

"To every thing there is a season And a time for every purpose under heaven…”

You're welcome. I love her work, so figured I couldn't go wrong with her Christmas story. I was right. :-)

It's a wonderful story, isn't it? So happy re-reading...not that we'd need an excuse. *g*

Oh, some of my greatest favourites are getting recced this year! *bg* I absolutely love 3rd party pov too, and this is a beauty - so perfectly executed (leave the red-foiled ones alone ... because they're Bodie's favourites, obviously *vbg*). Well recced that agent! :-))))

I never would have thought of Anson as the person to share his thoughts about the Lads' evolving relationship, but it works perfectly. Glad you think so, too. :-)

A story POV Anson was a great idea. Thanks for the rec I have enjoyed it.

Good to hear! Seems seeing the Lads through another's eyes is an all around favorite. Wonder why. *g*
