An increasingly rare experience for me: the discovery of a wonderful new writer (new to me, at least, not new to fandom) jat_sapphire. If you want more of what I want i.e. mature, elegant, subtle, sexy writing, please go and check out this writer at Archive of Our Own, you won't be sorry.

Yet *another* great humdinger of a read and a great action-packed story! I first read this a few years ago at The Automated Hatstand but thankfully the author, awarrington, posted it at Archive of our Own ( Read more... )

*What* an incredible read this was! A classic in its own lunch hour and one story I won't forget in a hurry. This writer really knows how to tell a story and excels herself in her account of Ray Doyle's life in prison after being convicted of Coogan's (The Rack) murder. There are very few stories I feel I can't put down but this was one of them. ( Read more... )

Once more I feel I must share my enjoyment of a recently read story and, in the wake of the Big Bang, for Pros writing in general. Endlessly by FJBryan is a beautifully written story, romantic in a very subtle way and almost hypnotic or seductive(?)(not sure what word I'm looking for) in its delivery. The big surprise to me is the fact that I ( Read more... )

Written for the first Big Bang in 2010 this is definitely one of my favourite stories by this writer and I'd stick my neck out and say it's one of the best she's written. A story-length example of 'show' not 'tell', for those of you who don't want the writer to catalogue the bleedin' obvious but prefer to allow your imagination to roam a little ( Read more... )

I'd quite forgotten how much I enjoy Courtney Gray's stories and I was amazed and pleased to realise that I hadn't even read The Blue Figurine before. What a wonderful tale it was and I absolutely loved it. I'm very lucky, lately I've found quite a few Pros stories which I either haven't read or I read so long ago that they seem new to me, or at ( Read more... )

One of those (fairly rare for me) stories which I really didn't want to finish, looked forward to returning to it every day and which I absolutely loved. (Just one thing to note: please don't read the context in which it was written until you finish it.) It was long and at times went in quite unexpected but totally acceptable directions which I ( Read more... )

I enjoyed this story. The world suffers a major blackout with people experiencing their own visions of the future, and those who do not conclude that they don't have a future. Among the latter group is Bodie.....

Simple Twist of Fate:Sarah K

Worms: I love all the stories by this writer and this is a favourite. I love the first section which finds Bodie and Doyle lonely, estranged and missing both CI5 and each other and thus feeling bereft and isolated: Doyle desperately trying to believe what Bodie believes and Bodie's grief, growing self-doubt but determination and loyalty in keeping ( Read more... )
