No Aspirin in the Jungle by Heliophile (Teen and up)
Hello! It's June, and I'll be driving the Pros crack van this month, with absolutely no plan whatsoever except to rec Pros stories that absolutely must be read... so just following instructions, really... *g* Hopefully I'll find something you might enjoy - such as this wee gem...
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: B/D
Length: short story

Why this must be read: Heliophile is such a good writer that I can just imagine walking in at the end of this ep - the action is pretty much finished, the villainy nipped in the bud, and our heroes are finishing up for the day. It's a great way to start a B/D story, because we end up with exactly what we want - finding out what the lads get up to next, off-screen. The problem is that this time, Doyle's been undercover, and George Cowley's finding him unusually chatty...
Excerpt: “…not parrot food. They don’t eat it, ‘s jus’ for sharpenin’ their beaks on, cuttlefish bone… Do cuttlefishes have bones? Not a bone. Dunno. Look, in the cage, if you can get it out, not me, ‘m not goin’ anywhere near that damn bird, bloody great harpy… Sorry sir, findin’ it a bit hard to concentrate. Had to blend in, y’know, ‘m all about the blendin’ in, fine, no problem, but Kirstin baked a cake today an’ I’ve had the tea as well an’ I dint know she’d put dope in the cake … as well as the tea … an’ I had to blend in, take a few hits, pass a join’ aroun’, don’ wan’ blow me cover... Bodie!”
