Reactions and Reviews

Another particularly well-done 'first-time' story. I haven't seen too many hatstands from Doyle's POV (but then, as I said, I haven't read all that many, either)—and a ROMANTIC Doyle, at that! The whole story had a sort of 'dream-like' quality about it — in fact, it really did have me wondering, right up to the end, if B&D's 'first encounter' with each other really HAD been Doyle's dream, or if it'd really happened! Loved the ending.

Doyle is home alone on Christmas night while Bodie is on a job which includes bedding a girl. Ray (missing Bodie's company) is surprised to find a present left for him, and bewildered when it turns out to be a note from Bodie saying the Christmas Fairy grants Ray his most secret desire. Later, Doyle receives a surprise visit from Bodie offering him in person whatever he wants. Things don't go exactly (or as far) as one might expect, but still Doyle is disappointed to wake and find no obvious sign of Bodie having been there. Checking with Murphy, he learns Bodie supposedly never left the girl's house, but Ray discovers it wasn't just a dream. I've no real comments on this one — a pleasant read.
