Good heavens, it is October 22nd already, it's Thursday evening, and that means it's time for The Reading Room.
It's not too early to start thinking about Christmas, as the shops and restaurants insist, so it's not too early to enjoy a Pros Christmas fic (or two):
"What Friends are For" by Georgina Kirrin,
Part 1 - Christmas Pudding for Two
Part 2 - Half a Loaf Each.

The first is Doyle’s POV and may slide dangerously close to sentimentality, though I don’t think it quite gets there - thankfully. The second part is Bodie’s POV and is altogether darker and edgier, and the ending is deliberately unresolved, though hopeful. It must have been a nice antidote to all the over-sweet Christmas Pros fic out there when it was first published!"
