History FanficRecs / TheProfessionals

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[FanficRecommendations here]][[hottip:*:a copy of the template is just below]]. Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexual[[hottip:*:please note this includes all sexual activity, not just homosexual or bisexual, including het.]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory.

* ''Synopsis'': It is 1975, the height of the First Wizarding War, and Voldemort's reign of terror has spread far and wide. His followers, the Death Eaters, have begun cursing and killing Muggles. As [=CI5=]'s brief includes domestic terrorism, the responsibility for stopping Voldemort falls on them -- but this is not a fight they can win without magic. For this reason, Ray Doyle, an Auror, is transferred from the Ministry of Magic to join [=CI5=], as its first and only wizard. But his abilities must remain secret from his fellow agents, including Bodie, his new partner. But Bodie seems to have a few secrets of his own, and it especially doesn't help that Bodie is so damned attractive...
