However, now that Raimondo is an adult, there is a price: publicly, he becomes his patron’s new wife’s cavalier servente, or official companion; privately, he becomes his patron’s lover. It is still, however, easier than living on the streets.

Bodie works for Signore Giorgio Mucca, in service to the Supreme Tribunal of the State Inquisitors, a secret organization entrusted by la Serenìsima to deal with threats to state security. Bodie’s mission: to investigate Signore Cattivo, who may have plans of his own in the works.

Word count: 18534

Warnings: Dubcon, hint of underage sex

Summary: William Andrew Philip Bodie - just Bodie to his acquaintances - returns to England after years in Africa. Barely functioning, weary of seeing and doing things that no one should see or do, he finds refuge in the darkness of an apartment for rent in a run-down section of London.

Raymond Doyle, a policeman with a promising career and a promising relationship, decides to nudge his future forward by looking for an :apartment to share. In a corner, in the dark, he finds a stranger hiding in the shadows. At first, it seems that the man might be in need of social services; but it soon becomes clear that he is looking for much, much more.

In that bare room, they strip: physically, mentally, names and identities and histories.

And so the two men's paths cross and merge, and they begin down a different path: one in which the real world is left outside the door, and the :only communication is though the senses. Bodie can push away the wounds deep inside and Doyle can exorcise demons - without the entanglement of :emotional ties.

The perfect arrangement for two strong-willed men looking to cheat society’s expectations.

...Except payback, as they say, can be a bitch.

Word count: 69907

Warnings: (highlight to read) This fic contains occasional depictions of, and allusions to, consensual sexual acts between boys of 16 and under. This is mostly of the "public school experimentation" type, and does not include penetrative sex. The descriptions are brief and mildly graphic, such that might have an R or "Mature" rating if they depicted the same acts between adults. There are also allusions to, and recollections of, the sexual abuse of teenage boys. The recollections are told first by a boy of sixteen, and second by an adult male.

Summary: The death of Bodie's mother when he's only nine years old sets in motion a chain of events that eventually leads him to CI5, and Doyle. But when the lads are assigned to protect a volatile ex-KGB assassin, it seems that Bodie has not managed to escape his past as thoroughly as he'd thought. Now he needs Doyle's help to break a cycle of abuse and violence, and bring a happy ending to someone else's love story -- as well as trying to begin one of his own.

Summary: You'll be paired off, and from then on, you're the Bisto Kids. The evolution of a partnership, as told through the perspectives of Bodie, Doyle, and Cowley. Bodie’s cool, self-confident, and a loner — until he’s not. Doyle’s passionate, idealistic, and in search of a deeper connection — until he’s not. Cowley just wants his best team to be efficient and effective — and if they would keep themselves alive, he’d appreciate it. Bodie believes caring makes you vulnerable; Doyle believes caring makes you stronger. What happens, then, when together they have to deal with the likes of Charlie Turkel, Franz Myer, Preston, Kathie Mason, Coogan, Wakeman, Mayli, Ojuka, and each other? Is it possible to step outside your own viewpoint, and see the truth through another’s eyes?
