Claim: The Professionals – Bodie/Doyle
Title: In Balance With This Life
Author: Mauve Maz
Characters: Bodie, Doyle
Prompt: 26: Death
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Brief summary: An operation that goes horribly wrong, a realisation made without any time, a future that it’s too late to have. There is pain and there is anguish and there is character death, but when it’s written like this – well, sometimes it’s good to be sad…
"I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death."
--From "An Irish Airman Forsees His Death," by W.B.Yeats
