Discovered in a Christmas Card - Day 7

Tis the season to think back over all the Christmases Bodie and Doyle have spent together and the variety of situations they've found themselves in on those particular days and nights.

If you look below you'll find, for want of a better description, a sketchy list of seasonal scenarios. I wanted to salute all those deliciously cozy fics (and I know you'll be thinking of your favourites here) where the lads find themselves with each other but not much more, at that time.




One:

Sitting in the gutter, waiting for a cab, the two of them a sprawl of flared liquorice legs, tie ends and early morning stubble - the riot of ruffles and curls reined in by bands of straining black elastic...

Sporting an inebriated grin, Bodie touched his finger to his nose and, with a flourish, produced a wedge of weapons grade fruit cake from a serviette that had been stuffed into his pocket. Eighty proof, Doyle guessed from the eye-watering fumes.

Two:

Left over curry and the last two lagers.

Three:

A shared bag of crisps and an IOU.

Four:

Stranded in the open, nine miles west of nowhere, a hip flask of single malt and body heat – the only sources of warmth under a menacing sky.

Five:

The triumphant rescue of a single Jammie Dodger from the bottom of the packet…

He closed in on the prize, but then a momentary hesitation, bless him, the mangled cardboard tray gingerly pushed forward. Ray waved it away of course, more than sustained by the option of a disapproving scowl as Bodie put the morsel away with shameless delight.

Six:

Canteen crackers, slightly shop soiled and damaged in transit, washed down with sherry underneath something that resembled mistletoe.

Seven:

Bodie craving the fry-up of his dreams, but settling for tea, toast and Doyle ..on a platter.
