Summary: George Cowley knows a marriage made in heaven when he sees one, and he's going to arrange it even if he has to send his young recruits to hell and back. Bodie, closed off and traumatised from his experiences in the SAS, can't believe he's being partnered up with a raw ex-copper. But Ray Doyle is his last chance, and as they fight through their training together and begin their work on the turbulent streets of 1970s London, a fire springs up between them that will either be their partnership's making or its destruction.

Notes: Thank you to JGL for encouraging me to take part in this great project and being my first reader, also to Firlefanzine for the atmospheric artwork.

Wow. I'm just... I think that was one of the most beautiful, detailed, in-character back-stories I've ever read. Both the mental voices and turns of phrase were spot-on.

I want to give an extra shout-out to the wonderful care given Cowley's characterization. We get stories of him using his triple-think against the bad guys, and sometimes even against his own men, but rarely do we see him some of the wonderfully out-in-out sneaky things for his men that we do here. "A press van just got through..." Simply brilliant.

I would have swallowed this down in one gulp if RL hadn't intervened. As it was, I was pretty upset with RL, and back in front of my computer screen the minute I could be.
