Fic! Ask me not where this came from, for I have not the foggiest...

Spoilers/Warnings: This story assumes all readers will be familiar with both CI5 and UNIT. It is set sometime after Doctor Who 13.01 Terror of the Zygons (Fourth Doctor era), and somewhere around season 1/2 of The Professionals. The Doctor himself does not appear in this story.

Disclaimer: CI5 and all characters connected therein belong to Mark 1 Productions. UNIT and all characters connected therein belong to the BBC. I have borrowed them for this story and am making no profit from this.
Summary: CI5 and UNIT would have been around at about the same time in the late 1970s. CI5 weren't keen on other agencies treading over their perceived jurisdiction and UNIT were learning to cope without the Doctor after his departure. So what happened when they found their investigations overlapping?
Author's Note: Nothing deep or meaningful here, this is a straight-up case story. Being an intra-genre crossover, it is leaning toward crack fiction, from a Pros perspective, I know, but it's crack fiction that takes itself seriously, grounding UNIT within the Pros 'verse and playing the story completely straight. Just go with it, 'kay?
Acknowledgements: There is no one I can blame for this except me. But Sue egged me on.

A Pros drabble. Well, almost a drabble. Well, a drabble and a bit, then. Someone over at Prosfanfic wondered why a pair of highly trained CI5 agents would be sent to collect a desk - reward or punishment - and between that and an ongoing discussion about ways of writing dialogue without resorting to 'he said', this scene suggested itself to me. This is what happened right before The Acorn Syndrome.

Well, hooray for an awake Pros!Muse, and for dashing off a ficlet in a day - The Fall Guy is now complete and available for reading.

It's only a couple of pages as an episode tag to the ep I just reviewed, Fall Girl, which ended on such a downbeat note, with Bodie feeling hurt and angry and betrayed by just about everyone - I wanted to have a quick peek at how he and Doyle might have started to move past everything that had happened and repair their close working relationship. This is Doyle's thought process in a very quick scene leading up to the first move being made.


And, in other news, I finally got around to buying a new watch after living time-less all week since the old one gave up the ghost. Felt weird being without it. Also bought myself a new pair of earrings, since I still haven't replaced all the ones that got pinched in my burglery, and celebrated payday by ordering the Life on Mars DVD set from amazon :)

Argentina play Holland tonight in their final group match of the World Cup, but Crespo probably won't play - he'll be rested, since they've already qualified for the next phase.
