Day 29 - Offering the Second...

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Oh blimey, I’m cheating again!

This is a drabble that has been lingering on my hard drive for longer than I care to remember and has never seen the light of day. There’s nothing Christmassy about it, other than the fact that it comes from me to you with the compliments of the season.

‘ang abaht, though... Supposing I ask you to picture an East End pub, where the Christmas Eve festivities are in full swing? And a couple of CI5 agents have gone there for a quiet Christmas drink... There, now it is a Christmas fic! *g*



When she walked in every head in the place turned, and Doyle stared just like everybody else.

She was stunning, vivacious, expensively dressed and totally out of place in an East End pub like this.

With a sinking heart he realised that she personified what he'd always thought of as 'Bodie's Type'. He turned to where his partner was sitting and watched Bodie cast a cursory glance at the woman before settling his gaze, and a contented smile, firmly upon him.

'Bodie's Type' she may well have been once upon a time. But now it seemed that time was past.

Yeah, you bet! *g* Thank you! Definitely festive--with the scene set as it was. I can just see it, too....

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Cheers, m'dear!

'Bodie's Type' she may well have been once upon a time. But now it seemed that time was past.

And thank God for that! In a short space of time you've managed to place me right there in the pub with Doyle, keeping an eye on what is *his*.... Very nice!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Pleased to hear that it worked for you!

Thanks, sunshine.

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

oh yeah! *victory fist* A fabulous moment, beautifully captured. Hee, I love drabbles, thanks for this!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks for those kind words! Very much appreciated!

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Yay! Bodie's definitely only got one type now - and aren't we glad about it? *g*

Thanks for this - lovely cheery-up material when I've got to slog off to work in a mo. :)

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Pleased to be the one to bring you cheeriness!

Hope work wasn't too bad...

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Now that's my Bodie! Doyle firmly in his gaze. Good!

Thanks. I always appreciate a 'story' fully told in a drabble, and you've one that here. It's an example of how drabbles should be done.

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Glad you like it...

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Eek was my first thought, followed quickly by 'what the hell is she doing writing het?!?' Should ahve known *g* Nice drabble sunshine :D Also, I love your disclaimer LOL

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Het? HET!!!

Wash your mouth out with soap and water...

Pleased you liked it *g*

[probodie.livejournal.com]

I sincerely apologise for accusing you of writing that most horrendous of genres...het...unreservedly.

*coughs*

Hey, have you read Frost Fair yet? I absolutely lovelovelove it!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Hey, have you read Frost Fair yet?

It arrived in the post this morning! Looking forward to it a lot...

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Smashing! And totally holiday-season-y - is this not the time for odd people dressed to the nines and in vivacious mood to drop unexpectedly into East End pubs?

Does a lovely job of capturing a whole story in a moment; she was Bodie's type once all right ... but not any more. Happy glow for Doyle, and for us! Thank you!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Bodie's come to his senses at last... *g*

Thanks for the kind words, I'm pleased that you liked it.

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Hehe, seems like there's only one "Bodie's Type" and he's got curly hair and green eyes. Good taste has our Bodie *nods* Thanks for posting this! *takes sneak peek at your HD to see if there are more hidden treasures*

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that definitely sounds like Bodie's type! *g*

Plenty more lurking on the HD, but I doubt whether you'd call them treasures!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Yup, festive enough for me, thank you.*g*

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

*g*

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Saying so much in so few words!
I loved it! Thanks!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

Pleased you liked it!

[erushi.livejournal.com]

Hee! It has certainly put a smile on my face, this. Thank goodness (for Doyle and for us) that Bodie's taste has changed. For the better. *g*

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Well, Bodie had to see the light someday, didn't he? *g*

Pleased to hear that it made you smile!

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

The repetition of the "Bodie's type" phrase really works nicely. *g*

Thank you!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

Good to hear that it worked for you *g*

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Hee, love it! Just catching up on the bumper load of pressies from you!
This is brilliant, thank you!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm pleased that you liked it *g*.

[rochvelleth.livejournal.com]

Well we all know Bodie's type involves curly hair and slender thighs... *g*

Thanks, that was a lovely insight (especially into Doyle's mind).

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, we all know... it just took Bodie a bit longer to work it out!

*g*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Aw! I like this. You might even want to reuse this some day as the tag end of a much longer fic. It sums up neatly that moment when you realize that what you've got is real, and lasting.

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[przed.livejournal.com]

So nice to see that Bodie has realized what his real type is. *g*

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Poor lad was a bit slow on the uptake but he came to his senses eventually!

*g*

Very late but catching up

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed this drabble a lot. I thought it worked well and managed to capture the past and how things have changed very effectively in so few words.

Re: Very late but catching up

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm very pleased that you enjoyed it.

And don't worry about being late - I've still got more than half of the Christmassy fics to read myself!

*g*
