The Next Generation by Fenlings (G)
Fandom: THE PERSUADERS!
Pairing: Lord Brett Sinclair/Danny Wilde

Why this must be read:
This last rec is a futurefic - and it's an interesting thing about Danny and Brett that they have the potential to be one of the happiest slash couples out there. Sexual fidelity doesn't seem to be an issue, they get along well and on equal terms, and they have the resources to deal with any outside worries that arise. Unlike cops or soldiers, say, they could afford to be fairly, if discreetly, public about a relationship. There's an implication in "A Death in the Family" (possibly the last episode) that Danny's even moved what may be his last relative over to England, which could mean he intends a permanent residence there - with, obviously, Brett. So, uh, kidfic, anyone?
I know, me neither, but this is really charming. In this cute little story, a slightly older Danny and Brett live together and have acquired a couple toddlers somehow and are still comfortably arguing about everything and nothing. The voices are very good and it's surprisingly full of little touches that fit together to make it work. And there's that summery, open-ended sense that everything really is going to be all right forever.
Daddy looked pained. "It's diamond, baseball diamond, as you very well know, and of course I wouldn't say no to a baseball diamond! Baseball is a real sport, a man's sport, right Richie?"
Richard had lost interest in the ball and had started trying to eat the grass. "Look at that. See what cricket does to young minds. What a shame."
(The fic comes after a lot of pictures in this post, so it may take a minute to load.) The Next Generation
I've had a great time reccing The Persuaders! for Small Fandoms Month - keep the love alive, Persuaders fans old and new, and remember, life's a holiday. Even if you're not ridiculously stinking rich.
