Reactions/Reviews
I'm a huge Batman fan - what does that have to do with the PROS? Well, sometimes the title of a fic catches my interest for various reasons, and this one mentioned bats, so I figured I'd read it. *g* And I was glad I did. From the declaration of the first line--"Bodie was blind"--the story grabs hold and doesn't let go. Injured by a bomb blast, Bodie has to deal with the possibility of never being able to see again, and Doyle has to deal right along with him. They battle through not knowing what to say to one another, feeling helpless (both of them), and trying to pretend everything is just the same as it always was. They take comfort in physical contact--something that's required for Bodie to cope, but for Doyle it also means the fulfillment of a long-held wish to be closer to his partner. But he doesn't want to take advantage of the situation either. You'll have to read the story to see how they resolve the issue.[1]
Bodie has been blinded in the course of a mission – will he see daylight again? Angsty and lovely, because of course Doyle stays over to take care of him, no matter how snarky they get with each other. And being Doyle, he takes the blind man for a run in the park… [2]
