New Pros crosover

[maxifaye.livejournal.com]

Hello - longtime fan of The Pros and longtime dip-in-and-out-of-fandom lurker here! I was wondering if anyone could help me find a Pros/New Pros crossover I'm sure I read more than a few years ago. I don't think it's one of Elsa's that I could find. I don't remember a lot of the plot so hope it isn't all some strange dream, but Sam Curtis was a young agent assigned to work with Bodie and Doyle, not with Keel, I don't think - his presence wasn't very strong, anyway. I'm fairly sure that at some point, there was a dive into a canal? Really not giving you a lot to go on here, sorry, but in case it tugs at anyone's memory I'd love to re-read! :-)

I'm not sure. Maybe it's THE HISTORY OF US by Meridian?

Oh... Hello! :-)

Wow, that was quick! Thank you very much - a quick skim says it's not the one I'm looking for, but also not one I've ever encountered, so I'm looking forward to having a proper read of it soon!

I think the one I'm thinking of has Curtis while he's still in MI6, I don't think his partner is Keel, and I think his partner might be a traitor? The old brain is in need of some training, clearly!

And hello! :-)

You're welcome!
The only other crossover I know is the one of Elsa.
I was never hooked by the new versions... ;-)

Hee, I found the actual episodes awful, but had a major crush on Sam Curtis. He was just pretty, and I'm shallow enough to be swayed by that! The fanfic was always way better than the show! :-)

Well, that's a rough attitude, but very interesting! ;-)
In fact you can use it for 'some' series.
(maybe I should go and read what I've missed up until now?)

PROS/NEW PROS CROSSOVER

Hope that works as a substitute subject line as LJ continues to destroy communities with their so-called upgrades!

REPLACE hXXp with http in the links - LJ might/might not screw up and screen the comment otherwise & I've not the patience or time to deal with the hassle.

Anyway, I only know a few Pros/New Pros crossovers - New Pros just never really caught on amongst most Pros fen that I know so any exposure by association was minimal.

In addition to The History of Us by Meridian & Partnerships by Elsa (GEN) that firlefanzine linked to above, there are two more that come to mind.

Loyalties by Ariadne & Naomi - Slash (Curtis/Keel), friends B&D. From their description: "It was written with Naomi in 2001, and was quite simply a whole lot of fun, not to mention obsessive. Set in 1999, it has Bodie as a nightclub owner, Doyle back in the police, and Sam and Chris (New Professionals) in CI5. This is a LONG story (about 530 pages A4, about 1.2 KB). However, the links to each chapter to make navigation easier."

Ariadne was a pseudonym for Bren K, who wrote some lovely Pros stories (slash & GEN) but seems to have left Pros/fandom a few years ago. Her Ariadne site was on Geocities, so is no more but you CAN access Loyalties via the Waybackmachine archive here:

Timeslipping by Joules Taylor - Eventual non-explicit slash (Curtis/Doyle), and since I've not reread it in more than a decade, the only thing I really remember is the time shift/time travel element referenced in the title. Oh, I remember it was a WIP at one time - think it might have been finished. I know there were at least five parts.

Joules' site moved sometime over the past few years - here's the current URL. All slash & adult HET is password protected, you'll have to email for the info.

Joules' GEN Pros stories are here:

In the spring of 2010, there was a watch of the New Pros episodes with reviews at the_safehouse; the main cheerleader, IIRC, was jojosimco so she might be a good person to ask about any crossovers.

And of course, if you find any more, do let the list makers know so the info can be passed on!

Good luck!

Thank you so much for all the info and apologise for the delay in reply - I was away over New Year and had very spotty internet access - this is great, and although the Wayback Archive seems to be having problems at the moment, I'm fairly sure the Bren K fic is the one I'm looking for.

I'm going to have a lovely time going through everything you've listed here (that Curtis/Doyle one sounds particularly yummy), and thank you again so much!
