Reactions and Reviews

I like that this story's focus isn't what you think it's going to be, that the "inside information" that Bodie's dealing with is not what Doyle is expecting at all. Yet, it's very much Bodie in the way the man reacts to the unexpected complication caused by an undercover assignment. And very much Doyle in the way his partner refuses to back down.[1]

I had not read this one before. I also have not seen either of the Lads use this explanation for the recognition of feelings as stated quite as explicitly. So simple and so sweet. Thanks for the rec.[2]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The Android didn't write many stories in Pros but what she did write was really quite good.[3]

I've been trying to work out why I like this, and I think it's because it's a lovely ep-like story, which reveals a behind-the-scenes slashiness that could absolutely, really be right there while we're watching an ep. And yet it's not sparse exactly, there're plenty of little details that conjure their lives too:

It was one of Doyle's own paintings, from the days when he had fancied himself as a fashionable portraitist.

or

He raised a hand to indicate his bruised eyes, but the hand that he raised was Doyle's, the fingers so closely twined with his own that there seemed no separateness.

See? Lovely - Doyle's youthful pretensions, and the eternal rightness of being Bodie/Doyle... *g* [4]

This looks v-e-r-y interesting and I like the way it starts with a you foul bastard - just my cup of tea....so I'll go and investigate.[5]

Oh yes, this is lovely. And quite a mixture of emotions here, some aspects of it are pretty brutal, but there's also tenderness, and humour too. Oh and the bits about Cowley are perfect, just like the Cow! *g* I'd really like to read a prequel to this, starting three months earlier.[6]
