AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO don't leave them like this ::sobs:: draycefixitan'makeitallbetter, pleeeease!?!?!?!?

[greengerbil.livejournal.com]

Ditto!

PUH-LEEEEEZE....

Nice drayce? Drayce fix, huh? Pretty please?

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Nooooooooooo! You can't have left it there. Has a bit dropped off?

::peers under lappy::

::shakes lappy::

You wouldn't, would you? You're a sweet kind nice soul... I've got mince pies, cookies, bad sherry, what'll it take, huh? ::flutters eyelashes::

Bodie you bloody idiot - get back in that room RIGHT NOW!!!

Splendid and tricksy follow-up though this is, I am not going to beg you for a sequel to put it all right. Because I know that you wouldn't be so cruel as to leave them and us hanging like this. And I'm talking to Miss Drayce here, so the Vixen can just go wash her hair for a few minutes or something. Look at my face. Do you want to see me cry? Didn't think so. *eg*

trap you in the chimney nook, screaming for your virtue like some Victorian virgin

I'm going to bed now so if you need this image I'm afraid it'll be with me for the next few hours. I'll return it tomorrow, scrubbed and shiny, I promise.

Thanks for chucking in a curveball with this - always good to have the old expectations given a rattle ♥

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

You Rotter! *g*

Thankfully I have a vivid imagination. Debbie sends him packing, he goes home, Doyle knocks him flat and then...

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not nice!
Poor lads! You've got to make it right for them (and us)! Please?

[erushi.livejournal.com]

Ack, ack! Oh, you nasty thing, you. I demand Part III! Do I have to bribe you? Just name your price! Though sending you the lads is out, because something tells me you'll enjoy yourself too much and forget to write it...

Though there is something appealing to be said about open-ended, possibly painful endings... *embraces her inner masochist*

Otherwise, loved Bodie being all think-y, and Doyle being all think-y too, and things backfiring. Also loved the humour which, as always, is one of the hallmarks of your work. Anson at the beginning, Doyle's "it's twue, it's twue"... and "trap you in the chimney nook, screaming for your virtue like some Victorian virgin" is priceless, positively priceless. And the last bit of dialogue had me holding my breath, so I forgive you for the open ending after all. *g*

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

WTF??? Excuse me for a second while I kill the bloody stupid oaf. What the hell does he think he's doing? He has no clue what Doyle and Cowley were talking about but of course Mr. Master Mind draws his own conclusions and now he hurt Doyle *ROAAAAARS*

Ok, missy - you better write another one and make for a happy ending. Otherwise I'll be forced to send not only the owls after you but the zombie bunnies as well. And the beavers!

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Evil, Drayce. I sincerely you're intent on fixing this???

(What am I saying? There's room for some serious angst before you fix it - carry on dear, I'm enjoying the ride!!!)

Lovely as always!

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Hee, I like this ending! *ducks missiles headed this way*
And we know they'll sort it all out in the end, right! *g*

Thank you for two wonderful posts today (yesterday?), you've utterly spoilt us!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Bodie is a moron. To quote Doyle.

Thanks for the story, but not for the idea that now I have to go to work with poor Bodie getting what he deserves: nothing.

Part three..?

[smirra.livejournal.com]

I'm really impressed, that you will be able to even write a third if not actually part 4, 5, 6, in such a short time and post them here! *g*

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

You're not meant to be cruelly teasing at Christmas, you know. I'm sure it's in the rules somewhere. I hope you like coal! *g* But, yes, this was very nice--massive disagreement just before Christmas and five days off. So--ahem--what happens next, then?

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know if it will make it all better but the next bit should go up at the safehouse today if I can find some time to edit it. ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

When Bodie's already fixed it? *whistles* The next part should be up at the safehouse today if I can find the time to edit it. ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

You're a sweet kind nice soul. Apparently, the Vixen was in the driver's seat yesterday...

Well, the fluttering eyelashes get to me every time so... the next part should go up at the Safehouse today if I can find the time to edit it... As to making you happy, I think there'll be something in there that you'll like. *whistles* ♥ *swills the bad sherry*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I should never have taught the Vixen to type... Eeep!

Oooh thank you for liking that image. It was the one that made me giggle when I thought of it. *g*

Alright, I'll admit it, there's already a third part. It should go up at the Safehouse today if I can find some time to edit.

I had to cut through the Christmas sugar. Thanks for reading Petal. ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Part three should go up at the Safehouse today... It has nothing to do with Debbie... I, erm... shouldn't be allowed to write stuff at 1:00am in the morning.

Thanks for reading. :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Part three should be posted to the Safehouse later today... Erm... Yeah.

Thanks for reading. :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Part three has been written and should be posted to the Safehouse later today if I can find the time to edit it.

I want happyfuntimes for the lads but it always strikes me how easily things could go wrong for them.

Thank you for reading. ♥

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Somehow I just knew the bad sherry would be the way to your heart *hg* ::flutters eyelashes some more::

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

But I like owls, bunnies and beavers. *pets them*

So, no sympathy for Bodie eh? He *knows* that Doyle isn't interested in him so he's just trying to protect what he already has with him by making light of his own feelings. Yeah, stupid, but we've all done stupid crap like that at some stage.

I've written part three. If I can find some time to get it edited it will be posted to the Safehouse later. Erm... *sniggers* *scarpers*

Thank you for reading Petal. ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I thought "who are you and what have you done with Andy?" I mean, the suffering is minimal here compared to the veritable hordes of trained angst monkeys you usually favour. *g*

Thank you, Petal! ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

C'mon, you can hide behind the sofa with me. We'll be safe from Pros fans and Doctor Who villains... *g*

Actually I've already written a third part, I just didn't have time to post it on my assigned day. It should go up later at the Safehouse if I can find the time to edit it... Erm... *sniggers in an evil fashion*

Thank you for reading and for the kind comment. :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Bodie is just trying to protect what he already has... At least that's the way I saw it. Men! *smacks their heads together*

Part three has been written. Yeah. *sniggers* It should be posted to the Safehouse today if I can find the time to edit it.

Thanks for reading, Petal. ♥

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Ok, you better make it a good one. And forget about the animals - how about sending a rather pissed-off Doyle after you instead? He already asked for spare ammo, explosives and on the way out he grabbed the mega spork too. Looks like you and Bodie are in big trouble *listens to car screeching out of driveway*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Petal. ♥

Part three has been written. I've run out of time here, so if I can get it edited I'll post it to the Safehouse later today.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I'm used to coal... That's what happens when I let the Vixen write a story... Although that usually involves trained teams of angst monkeys so we got off light. *g*

Part three has been written... Erm, my brain took a left turn again. It should be posted at the Safehouse today if I can find time to edit it.

Thanks for reading. ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

What would Christmas be without bad sherry? *g*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Doyle is in a speeding car on the way to meet Bodie and I? This is your idea of a threat? *sits and waits*

I'm alternating between laughing like a drain and resisting the urge to hide underneath a rock at the thought of part three... Ahem...

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

S'true! ::gargles:: *g*

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Weeeell, he did say something about burning that witch on a stake and I don't think he was talking about Bodie... Besides I still have the super duper hyper mega spork of doom and you definitely don't want me coming after you with this baby.

Oi, it's Christmas so you better have them end up in bed together, happy as pigs in the mud. Or, if you prefer, them in the mud together with the pigs but still happily together.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

*is wearing spork proof knickers*

My brain zigged again when it should have zagged. Yeah...

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Who says I'm going for your knickers? *EG* Maybe I can zigzag your brain back into the right direction...

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to suggest that I keep my brain in my knickers... Erm... On second thought, don't answer that...

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Oh Bodie love, what are you doing? I enjoy Bodie getting the wrong end of the stick and depserately covering when it's written as Bodie-like as this. Just want to grab him lovingly by the ear and nudge him into Doyle..*g*
Thank you!

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely comment. ♥

Part three should go up at the Safehouse shortly... Eeek! *scarpers*

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Yay! I like a slow realistic progress in a story.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Done and posted. *eg*

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

....sometimes it's nice to catch up late *whistles* ....

nonetheless and just because *kicks Bodie in the back* and *bearhugs drayce*

.... off to part three ...

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Awww, Bodie's just doing what he things is best. Hey, this means I'm the only one who gets to hug Bodie. *dances*

Thank you for reading! ♥

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Well, happy endings are not really my forte, but I do like reading them... What can I say? The Evil Twin is obviously a bad influence on me.

*is now off to read the next part*

[przed.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Now I definitely want to shake Bodie. Click the next link and keeping fingers crossed it all ends well...

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Awww, poor Bodie. He's hurting too.

Thanks for reading. :D

Bit more catching up (go me!)

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

*kicks Bodie*

He really is his own worst enemy isn't he, jumping to conclusions without any proof and stomping over his chances.

*kicks hhim again for good measure* (although I hope he forgives me for that)

Again I enjoyed this especially as it really ups the angst quotient for us readers. And I do like some angst before a happy ending and I am going to hope that when I get caught up everywhere a happy ending will appear *looks hopeful*.

Thank you again ♥

Re: Bit more catching up (go me!)

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

He's already decided that what he has is precious to him... It takes a lot of guts to risk a relationship when it's the only one you really have... Well, at least I think so and apparently Bodie agrees with me. *whistles*

Ah... yes. *whistles some more*

Thanks for reading, Petal! ♥

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Gah!
*thwacks Bodie round the head for jumping to conclusions*

*scurries off to next chapter to see what happens next*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

There's a Paul Simon song called "Something so Right" that has these lines:

When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know

when something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight

I think Bodie would have to be able to *think* that Doyle could return his interest before he could stop himself from jumping to this sort of conclusion.

Thanks for reading. :D
