Do you fancy participating in the Pros Big Bang without all the work? Do you have more ideas than you have time to write? Well, here’s your chance to leave some plot bunnies for others to give a home to. Potential scribblers, artists, and cheerleaders alike, we’d like you to think about those Pros stories you’d love to see written...

Wanna push Bodie off a cliff? Off a scaffold? Off a spaceship?

Want Doyle to have amnesia? A deadly illness? A mysterious past?

And then of course, there’s the angst and the drama and the witty banter, the rescue and the comfort and the hurt and the... Oh, you all know how this goes!

So please:

1 Leave as many prompts as you want.

2 Make them as detailed or as vague as you wish.

3 AUs and Crossover prompts are more than welcome.

4 No one has to jump in and claim anything – this is a free-for-all to get those creative juices flowing!


Some examples to get the ball rolling:

I’d like to see Bodie and Doyle retire to run a country pub. Then one day Cowley walks in..

The Doctor ( Nine? Ten?) and/or Captain Jack show up in 1980s London..

How about something in the nature of ‘Master and Commander’? With Bodie as the Captain and Doyle as the good doctor..?

I would quite like to see a well written fic involving HIV and Aids. Considering the time period when HIV and Aids was rife and not much known about it, it's surprising just how few stories there are relating to it.

I'm quite happy to leave everything else to the writer if they choose this prompt.

Thanks for considering :-)

Ah, you mean like my lads-as-C19th-sailors fic I started when I was doing my research... and didn't get any further with, and is still sitting in my WIP box... *g*

OK so I'd pay good money for this - all that jigging in the rigging and creaky boatiness and omg a MASSIVE storm at sea and billowy WET white shirts *G*

Ack, Master and Commander was my previous fandom. Don't think I could write Pros in a similar vein without Doyle and Stephen having a stare-down (Stephen wins, hands down) and Bodie an Jack bonding over too much rum (Jack wins, Bodie moans about hang-over).

Bonus for debauched sloths.

Lads in the RAF would be terrific. Didn't you start one of those way, way back?

I love angst and one of my favourite XF slash stories involves heroin and the painful withdrawal. So how about Bodie gets addicted to heroin (his own choice or administered against his will) and Doyle helps him to get clean. It´s the choice of the writer whether he wants it himself or has to be forced (or persuaded) by Doyle.

I love addiction, but the other way around -- Doyle addicted and Bodie helping to get clean. *g*

The episode Wild Justice has always bothered me (a lot).
And I've always wondered if Doyle couldn't have received some internal injuries from the hit in the belly by Bodie (can't resist some angsty h/c *g*).
A lengthy exploration of why Bodie decides to completely keep Doyle in the dark about what was going on, and how they get back to trusting each other (always thought it must have felt like a slap in the face to Doyle, who is very open when something is bothering him).

*puts cards on table* I know nothing really about SPN other than my flist's posts on the subject, primarily Mikey's.

That said... Castiel has to hide your guys temporarily and picks late 1970s England as the last place anyone would look... only they're pursued, leading to strange events in London which drag CI5 in to the frame... Just a thought. *g*

Amnesia's always good!

I'd like a story about older lads separated and off in different professions who have to work together to solve an old CI5-related scandal that threatens to tear their new worlds apart. And, of course, they realize the feelings they denied for so long or hadn't previously recognized or...

Or I'd like a story about Doyle undercover with the IRA in Ireland, the job goes pear-shaped, he disappears off the radar, and Bodie has to go back to Ireland to try and find him -- and hopefully get him out alive.

Or just a simple...who is killing the CI5 agents one by one? Or, variation on an older lads theme, who is killing the RETIRED CI5 agents one by one? (Yes, Betty finally snapped.)

Hmm. Let's have a look at the "not quite WIPS yet, because I've not got around to writing anything" folder.

Ray as a rentboy. There can *never* be too few rentboy!Ray fics. Especially if both Ray and Bodie are rentboys and Cowley is their pimp. (This is not, necessarily, AU. Though it probably is crack...)

Pros/Poirot - Poirot is hit by a car and sent forward in time. Captain Hastings and Cowley know each other - there is another mystery that needs solving. Cowley turns out to know what the hell is going on because CI5 also deals with supernatural goings-on.

Pros/Midsomer Murders. Bodie and Doyle retire to run a country pub. Then Joyce Barnaby starts attending art lectures in their function room. Next thing you know, they're up to their neck in dead bodies and country policemen.

Then there's the Twilight sequel. I've promised that I won't write another one - but that doesn't mean I'm not going to bunny *you* into writing one...

Next thing you know, they're up to their neck in dead bodies and country policemen. Yes! wherever Joyce Barnaby goes, murder and mayhem soon follow. But it *would* be completely charming as a fic.

After watching "Commando Leopard" on Sunday, all I can think of at the moment is a crossover Carrasco/Doyle, with Doyle (Bodie would have to be dead, tragically) working for HM government in Carrasco's fictional Latin American country.

Hmm.

The one where Doyle and Stuart get together, and Bodie keeps saying he is TOTALLY OKAY WITH IT, but gradually realizes he is NOT, but doesn't want to say anything cause Doyle is finally HAPPY, and there is ANGST, and Stuart is kind of a dick but he makes Doyle HAPPY and BODIE IS TOTALLY OKAY WITH IT, NO REALLY, DAMMIT. AND HE IS NOT IN LOVE WITH DOYLE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Only he totally is. ANGST.

I tried to write this, but I liked Stuart too much for it to really work.

Okay from the infamous file I keep called "Pros ideas": Doyle has a new girlfriend he met while Bodie was out of town on an op. Doyle invites his partner over for dinner to meet her (for what's its worth I named her Sheila). She sends Doyle out for cream; tells Bodie there isn’t room for both of them. After Bodie leaves she tells Doyle Bodie made a pass...

And another one I always thought would be interesting is a story based on David Soul's one hit: Don't Give Up on Us Baby - and for those below a certain age (some of us can still know all the words)it goes a little like this "Don’t Give Up on us Baby, don’t make the wrong, seem right. The future isn’t just one night. It's written in the moonlight and painted on the stars we can’t change ours...I really lost my head last night, you’ve got a right to stop believing, there’s still a little love left even so..."
