melty brain

Hi!

My name’s Snail, and I’ve recently become a Pros addict.

::waves and blushes::

Right, now the embarrassing bit…

I’m an idiot; I’ve gone and lost a story, and the only thing I remember about it is Bodie recalling Macklin telling him, “A good big ‘un will beat a good little ‘un every time”, and Bodie thinking something like, “Yeah, but I’ve got to catch the little bugger first.”

What is that? Help!

I only read fic online, so that sort of narrows it down a bit… ok, not a lot. Any clues anyone? Pretty please ::grovels and gets out the cookies::

ETA: Found! It was On Stand By by Georgina Kirrin, found for me by mungo_jerrie. Thank you so much - I can pop my brain back in the bucket by the door now.

Found your "good big 'un" :)

I believe the story you're looking for is "On Stand-by", by Georgina Kirrin: "Come on, Bodie, a good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un. I didn't have the breath to point out that the only trouble with that theory is you have to catch the little bugger first."
"On Stand-by", and its companion piece, "Watching His Mouth" are available at The Circuit Archive (www.thecircuitarchive.com) or click on the link available at upper right. You might also want to try ordering the cd available from proslib at Yahoo (link upper right) because both stories are on it; it's a veritable cornucopia of stories and a good intro to Pros fiction. :)
