Discovered in the Wrapping Paper - Day 31

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

Well, folks,... I have failed. DDDD:

I do blame COVID; the Xmas visitor's Tuesday flight was cancelled, so we had extra company until last night, and I had to catch up with a bunch of things in the last 24 hrs. Not enough time to finish the story I had started earlier in the month.

So, instead, I'm reccing one of my favorite stories. But this isn't just a rec.

It's the holidays, no? And after all the hullabaloo and prep, all the fixings and eatings and celebratings, you visualize a few mins to sit with a cuppa (or mulled cider - or wine - if that works for you), snuggle up before a (virtual) fire, and delve into your favorite Pros stories.

THAT'S what we're talking about. :D

So, pull up with a favorite (at least one of mine, anyway) - Of Tethered Goats and Tigers by Tarot. (It's also posted on AO3, but my original reading was Circuit Archive, sort of like an old, comfortable blanket.)

Doyle and Cowley need to set a trap - but neglected to tell Bodie. And it has one of my best, most favorite fic scene when he finds out... :-D

Enjoy the interlude, and - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Shame about the story, but great post and rec - and I love that story! Definitely worth cosying down with... *vbg* Thank you!

Oh, a great favourite of mine as well! This is the fic that gets my vote for "should absolutely have been filmed - and would work perfectly - as a (feature-length) ep" :-) HNY to you too!

Great choice.

Great rec and very appreciated! Took me half the day, but a thoroughly fantastic read. Hunting it over at AO3 to leave kudos 💖

Even if things didn't turn out the way you'd expected, thank you for prodding me to re-read the story, something I'd been meaning to do for ages. I got out my old paper copy last night and have started it. I remember it was a great read but the details escape me, so it's lovely to go back and lose myself in it.

Thanks — it is a great read. Reading a fic is like a reward after hard work!!
