Wine Dark Nexus is a Bodie/Doyle slash 115-page Professionals AU by Anne Carr where Doyle (Damon), a noble citizen of Atlantis, and Bodie (Brianhet), an Egyptian prince, are sold into slavery and made bulldancers in Crete. The setting is Mary Renault's world of Theseus in The King Must Die and The Bull from the Seas.

Wine Dark Nexus was mentioned in Textual Poachers as an example of AUs where the characters are removed from their original situations and given alternative names and identities. It was first published in In the Public Interest 2 in 1988. The story is part of a series that is continued in Tessa Rae's Taemon's Cuckoos and her paper circuit story Taemon's Seed.

The online version at The Circuit Archive includes the original 7 b/w illustrations for Wine Dark Nexus by Suzan Lovett.[1]
