Andy - Discovered on a Hard Drive - Penpusher, Gunslinger, ...

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Ah! Finished. Never thought I would finish this one. This is one WIP that can now be struck off the list! Just a triple drabble.



Penpusher

Doyle tightens his fingers around the barrel of his pen and pushes the nib across the page, signing his name in an untidy sprawl. Bodie is here somewhere; probably chatting up one of the secretaries while Doyle does all the work. In irritation he shoves his report to one side and is rewarded with a crash as an unnoticed mug of cold tea, likely courtesy of his partner, crashes to the floor and breaks, tea spilling across the floor.

Doyle swears, picking up the shards of broken pottery and throwing them away. There are far too many days like this.


Gunslinger

Doyle tightens his fingers around the handgrip of his gun and pushes the warehouse door open silently, peering round into the darkness of the room. Bodie is here somewhere, as silently stalking their mark. In shock he recognises the two figures in the centre of the room, tussling for Bodie's gun. He shoots and is rewarded with a scream as the mark falls, but his partner collapses as well, blood already spilling across the floor.

Doyle swears, running hard to press his hand against the bleeding wound before reaching for his RT. There are far too many days like this.


...

Doyle tightens his fingers around the cock bobbing in front of his face and pushes his mouth further down the shaft, tip hitting the back of his throat. Bodie is here, writhing beneath him, his fingernails lightly scratching at his back. In satisfaction Doyle executes a complicated manoeuvre with his tongue that he knows drives Bodie wild and is rewarded with a groan and a curse, before Bodie stiffens, his partner's orgasm spilling down Doyle's throat.

Doyle swears as Bodie reciprocates; a hot, wet mouth enveloping him and drawing out his own orgasm. There are never enough days like this.

Oh, I liked this - their days going on and on, the everyday mixed up with the extraordinary, and Doyle always knowing where Bodie is... Lovely stuff - thank you!

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Doyle definitely always knows where Bodie is... *nods*

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

I liked this very much indeed! bsl said it - it's the mundane, boring, inevitable paperwork and the adrenaline and action and fear, both make up their lives. (and of course they connect in bed as they do everywhere else ...). The connection between them, always there, always strong. Thank you so much for this!

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[scherwood]

aaah... lovely text! :D
I was a little worried at the begining with Bodie flirting... but it was all okay with that ending.. *giggle*
Thanx for sharing! *hugs*

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

*grin* I'm sure Doyle knows that, for Bodie, flirting is as natural as breathing! And anyway, how else is he going to get one of the girls in the typing pool to write up his reports???

Thanks!

[scherwood]

*giggle*
yeah, you're right... xD

bodie: *flirt, flirt* please do my paperwork?
female: *fall over with squee* all right. <3

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

*grin*

It would *totally* work. (How many of us here would if we could?!)

[scherwood]

well..... I would. *grin*

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Delicious *g* I love Doyle's thoughts revolving around Bodie, so aware of him and what he's doing all the time... just lovely, thank you.

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Loved all the parallel lines and ideas here - very cleverly done, thank you.

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was worried it would be a little laboured, but it seemed to come together in the end.

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

Very clever. Thought it sounded a bit familiar (Briefing Room 15) but in fact it's completely reworked, isn't it? The repetition is brilliant. Part 3 doesn't need a title, best left to the imagination.

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Er, eep? I've not read any of the briefing responses yet. I've not managed to accidentally copy someone else's work have I???

And yes, I definitely thought it would be much more fun to fill in the blanks with the final title. As it were. *g*

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

crumbs, humble apologies for misunderstanding. From your note, I thought you meant you'd posted an earlier version for the Briefing Room challenge. Now I realise you started writing it then, but didn't actually post - no wonder it seemed different from what I'd read there! I just have a terrible memory for authors (and everything really). sorry.

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

What a great idea! I love the repetitions showing the similarities between the wildly different aspects of the their lives, and how Doyle is always aware of Bodie, in whatever context ♥

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

This works wonderfully. I love the way the repetitions highlight the different focus of each section and make the changes in feeling leap off the screen. Great insight into Doyle and the way his mind works.

finally...

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

What a great response to that prompt. *g*

The repetition of lines really enforces the routine nature of their lives both the paperwork and the action and really set us up nicely for that last scene.

Thanks, Petal.♥

[magnifica7.livejournal.com]

This, I like. You describe their relationship wonderfully with a few, poignant scenes.
