Title: In a Land of Shadow
Author: Gil Hale
Rating: PG13
Length: 445K (epic)
Brief summary: Gil Hale is a mistress of crossovers. She's crossed TS with Supernatural, Invisible Man, Magnificent Seven, Firefly and the Professionals, including this story. Since I really didn't know much about Pros (as it's called in that fandom), I asked someone about her potrayal of those characters. She apparently does justice to both universes. Not knowing anything about Pros didn't stop my enjoyment of the story, so don't let that keep you from this engrossing tale.

Shortly after the end of the series and just after he has refused Simon's offer to become a detective, Blair is spirited away without a trace. Jim searches desperately for months. Jack Kelso eventually comes through, hooking Jim up with a British Intelligence agent (Bodie) who is investigating some hinky stuff involving his own government that might be connected. Of course it is, and the two of them are off to England. I could write a mini-story just trying to sum up all that goes on here, but my best advice is to just read it.

Regarding the prompt, this story has many endings. The end to a 15-year grudge between two men who were once close. An end to a thirty-year-old mystery. And an end to one of the most notorious characters in the TS world. Along the way there's a lot of the skulking activities you would expect when you're dealing with people who like to keep secrets and are very good at it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
