Really? I'm first? :O Let me know if I've done it wrong...



Let Them Eat Cake

by Allie


Gunfire.

Behind their tank-like car, Bodie held his gun muzzle-up. “Could’ve really gone for that chocolate cake.”

Betty’s birthday: and she was sharing.

Doyle frowned. “It’ll keep!”

“Anson’ll get it.”

Bodie and Doyle lunged up at the same time, firing; ducked back before the return volley.

“All that chocolate...”

Bullets thudded into the car.

“Then let’s finish this!”

Bodie’s mouth hardened. “Right. Cover me.”

He lunged from cover, running low, firing all the way.

Doyle threw down a rain of cover fire.

But it wasn’t bloody enough.

#

Doyle baked a huge double-chocolate cake.

Even in hospital, Bodie ate too much.

I love the way you've punctuated the action with banter, or is that the banter with some action? very nice, thank you!

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Betty's birthday. And she was sharing.

Good for Betty! And hee to Bodie obsessing over cake while being shot at :D

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Hee... that might've been a better punctuation! :)

Thanks for your comment!!

Chocloate cake for medicinal purposes rings very true! Nicely done.

Chocolate is a cure-all, isn't it!
Very sweet drabble (pun intended!) *g*

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! :D

Cake is a good motivator. Good job.

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Ah, and I see the lad finally has some in your icon. *g

Awww, Doyle made Bodie a cake. That's so sweet! :D

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

>.>;; I'm really into them cooking or baking or eating or getting takeaway lately, for some reason. :D

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

I really like it when people add bits about B&D preparing or enjoying food to their fics for some reason. :D I guess it's cause I truly feel that one of the ways to Bodie's heart is through his stomach. lol

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Hee! :D Glad I'm not the only one. :) Two of my upcoming Pros stories (whenever they're eventually ready to post) will have food featured prominently. Because I couldn't resist. :D

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

Haha! Awesome! :D I'll look forward to reading them. :)

I could do with some chocolate cake, but Bodie *deserves* it!

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

I agree. :-D It's hard to begrudge him his sweet treats, isn't it? :)

[cornishcat.livejournal.com]

Nicely done. Tense and action-packed but laced with chocolate. Yummy.

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Thank you~! :D

The last two sentences are a great ending. You are just describing facts, but there is a lot of emotion underneath it. I like that way of writing because it's never soppy but can be really intense.

Thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful feedback. :D
