| Title: Zoe’s Vampire Snippet |
| Category: VAMPR (VAMPIRE) |
| Bodie tilted his head slightly. It wasn’t really a noise, more a change in |
| the quality of the silence that he’d sensed. The near-darkness enveloped |
| him, his surroundings illuminated only by the meagre efforts of the waning |
| moon. He focused on the weight of the gun in his hand, it’s textured grip |
| soothingly familiar. Taking a breath, he spun on his heel and found himself |
| facing a lean blond…man?…in a leather jacket. The gun jerked in his |
| hand, instinct taking over and prompting him to pull the trigger before his |
| conscious mind was fully aware of the danger. |
| |
| Bloody hell! The blond clutched at his chest and stumbled backward a |
| step, then regained his balance. “That fucking hurt!” Glowing, inhuman eyes |
| slowly turned from their incredulous examination of the chest wound to |
| glare at Bodie. “Sod it. Dru can find herself another pretty toy.” |
| |
| Bodie couldn’t move. The gun was useless in his hand and the breath frozen |
| in his lungs as the creature, fangs bared, launched itself at him with an |
| inhuman growl. He was going to die. In the instant between this realisation |
| and the cool burn of fangs sinking into his neck, his only thought was that |
| Ray was going to kill him for his carelessness. |

B does, despite some worries. Distracted by this new feeling, D is sloppy on the job, and B lets himself slide a bit too — coupled with C’s determination to go alone in a possible trap, this leads to B&D arriving a trifle to late to save him. C dies and D is devastated by guilt. He decides that it is all his fault for being distracted by love, and tells B that they cannot be lovers anymore. B begs and humiliates himself but to no avail. Suspension, while the inquest on C’s death proceeds, is hell: B has retreated into coldness and rebuffs D’s attempts to explain, justify, salvage the friendship. Back to work in a CI5 that might be disbanded soon, they are partnered with other people (the new controller wormed the truth out of D) and slowly pine away. Cornered by the failure of personal and professional life, they finally give up and get back together. Things are not allright: C is still dead, CI5 might end, they wont be partners anymore, and above all the damage caused to D by guilt and to B by D rejecting him cannot ever be mended. But now they start anew and even if it is a dark world they have each other. |

| Title: Professional Dreamer |
| Category: AU |
| Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): (Inspired by the movie American Dreamer). Ray Dibble is a mousy librarian who lives in his fantasy world fuelled by W. Philip Andrew’s potboiler novels about fictional characters B&D. Dibble is mistakenly involved in a botched CIA plot, resulting in half of the secret services after him — since Dibble hit his head, he thinks he is D and he goes to Andrew, believing him B, for help. They are on the run together, and Andrew moves from humoring the madman to falling in love with him. They both have emotional-life problems (Andrew retired from the SAS in turmoil) and somehow hiding from “real” life (if there is such a thing) – so when all gets resolved and Dibble is moreless himself again, they almost NOT get together — ultimately, however, they take the plunge and end up happily together and writing more Professionals novels in tandem. |
