December 25th - A Pub at Christmas

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 22:51:00 GMT

Posted by: macklingirl.livejournal.com

Let's have my absolute favourite Christmas story (I admit, I love reading it at any time of the year).

A Pub at Christmas by PFL (msmoat).

I think this rec might be the last for this year's Christmas time. But if anyone has any suggestions for New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, it would be great to hear them.

Pros Fic Bouquets for Newbies

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:50:00 GMT

Posted by: tinturtle

Well, I seem to have inspired one of my friends to watch Pros. He started at the end of last week and has been making rapid progress, so that now he is most of the way through series 2. Today we were talking about Pros fic and he said he might be interested in some recs. (Wanting to read my Big Bang fic was one of his reasons for checking out the series in the first place. He is a good friend.) Anyway, following that conversation, I went through my collection and made him a little bouquet of fics.

Here they are:

Quis Custodiet by Sarah K (100 words), a drabble episode tag
A Hill of Beans by fiorenza_a (4,239 words), a backstory fic

Angels Unaware by bardicvoice (29,702 words), a case fic
Easy Prey by jaicen5 (43,233 words), a sort-of case fic

These Layers of Charnel Air by Slantedlight (byslantedlight) (16,835 words), a character driven slash fic
Babylon is Fallen by PR_Zed (przed) (29,990 words), an AU crossover

The first four are gen or het, the last two slash. My friend is not anti-slash and acknowledges the show's potential in that area, but I don't know if that type of fic interests him. Still, I was trying to cover the range of Pros fic.

If you were creating such a bouquet of fics for a friend new to the fandom, what would you include?

Hello friends!

"If on a Winter's Night a Traveller" by PR Zed isn't really a Christmas story, but it's a beautiful winter story, with Bodie in a Welsh tearoom, and Doyle in hospital... :-)

May the world become a better place...
