25th December - May you all have feasting and joy!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well, we're finally on the sunny side of the midwinter solstice, and today is traditionally Christmas Day in many parts of the world. All in all, a time of feasting, and lighting fires, and making merry.

It's also the time of year where the lads might have sat down in front of the box to watch that fine old 1970s tradition, the Christmas Special, and so in honour of 1977, and thirty years of The Professionals we thought we'd have a go at emulating such style!

So, without further to-do, ladles and jellyspoons, here for your viewing (and reading!) pleasure...
Well... nearly there... just a bit further... it's actually here

Wow... this is just brilliant! I'm so touched by all this effort and talent on our behalf. The art is amazing - and I am not one that gushes easily over fanart, but it's staggering. So, so good.

Cannot believe I have this hamper of fic to feast on. Thank you so much to all involved, and I shall be back with more praise for the individuals once I get going.

So, yeah, Christmas special... bring it on, baby, bring it ON!!

I just have to comment on crimson_37's art for this - it's brilliant! Her Bodie alone is especially wonderful and real, but I love the other two with almost equal fervour.
