New Pros crosover
Dec. 30th, 2011 05:28 pmHello - 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! :-)

Oh... Hello! :-)

And hello! :-)

I was never hooked by the new versions... ;-)

(maybe I should go and read what I've missed up until now?)

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
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.

In the spring of 2010, there was a watch of the New Pros episodes with reviews at
And of course, if you find any more, do let the list makers know so the info can be passed on!
Good luck!
