Today is Christmas, but this year it is also the first night of Hanukkah. Accordingly, my rec for today is the Hanukkah story

Festival of Lights
by Dorinda.This brief story is told from Cowley's point of view as he watches Bodie and Doyle work to diffuse a bomb. The fic has suspense, good dialog, and a symbolic connection to a holiday that isn't often ( Read more... )

Groundhog Doyle - Irene | Proslib

This story can be found on the proslib CD. If it's online, I don't know where. It worth searching out.To me it's actually better than the movie of almost the same name "Groundhog Day"

Doyle learns many lessons on a very long Christmas eve.

My recommendation to day is a two-part series

The Eve of Destruction and Crossing the Jordan
by 0ftgx (istia).

I especially love the second part, which has excellent characterizations, believable emotions, and also a true Christmas theme.

As Christmas is close, don't forget your New Year's resolutions!!!

Bodie and Doyle have a try at it in PFL's wonderful Resolutions and Temptations.

Resolutions and Temptations

My recommendation today is

A Bodie Carol
by Ancasta (ancastar).

This story is based on Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, with Bodie "haunted by three spirits" in the night between Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I like the ways Ancasta both follows and plays with the familiar formula.

My recommendation today is

A CI5 Christmas Carol
by Rebelcat (myrebelcat).

This humorous fic finds the CI5 staff participating in a theatrical team building exercise. It's one of the first Pros Christmas fics I read, and it still amuses me.

My recommendation today is

Laeti Triumphantes
by Sineala.

This is the story of what happens in Doyle's flat on a cold and snowy winter night. The title translates loosely as "joyful and triumphant." This fic brings me joy, and I recommend it every year (even though it is more sex focused than is usually my preference).

Bodie's Christmas Wish
Anne Higgins

This is a light-hearted, and fun fic for Christmas. It always makes me smile.

Bodie's Christmas Wish

My recommendation for today is

Numberless Dreams
by Corvidology (draycevixen)
In this short fic, Bodie struggles to compose a Christmas card for Doyle. I admire the range of emotions the story evokes.

(This fic is part of a series, but I think it stands well alone. If you want to keep reading, be aware that the series was never finished.)

My recommendation today is

Under the Tree
by DVS.This story follows Bodie and Doyle as they perform surveillance in an unoccupied house at Christmas time. Their relationship is at an intermediate stage and develops during the story without any bold emotional strokes. I like the way their personal lives are woven together with their lives as ( Read more... )
