Arabian Nights is a Bodie/Doyle slash AU novel by Kathy Keegan.

Reactions and Reviews

Pure AU. Surprisingly, though, I think the characterisation is a little truer to how I'd view the lads in canon to be. Doyle's character (who isn't even called Doyle, but Rachid) is a sailor who gets roped into a general's plot to overthrow the tyrannical ruler on account of his physical resemblance to said ruler. The general is, of course, Hassan-who-is-actually-Bodie. The Doyle in this story is a very wanton creature who has a lot of sex (they both do, actually). He does, however, refuse to be the general's catamite (not quite ready to swoon into the broad arms of the hero, perhaps?), and is able to hold his own ground, plot and scheme a little, make important decisions etc. The Bodie character is, of course, the perfect lover and gentleman who is good to his servants, considerate to his lover (even joining Rachid on a ship in the end), and suffers pangs of conscience about what he intends to do to the tyrant with whom he was once very close to.[1]
