Jubilee fic - The Tale of a Tail

*raises wire, glances around warily and slides underneath*

Didn't realise this would be a bit long to post as one and was unsure how to post one thing successively, let alone two, so luckily Slanted Light has whacked this fic up for me somewhere else instead. Much thanks to her, and my prompt was these rather lovely bunny ladies right here (fourth pic down on the right)

The Tale of a Tail

OMG what a tale - one for a long evening spent curled up with a glass of malt in one hand and this in the other..*g* This was like 'The Professionals: The Movie' - chock-a-block full of action, plot and stand out interplay among all the CI5 team. From the opening with Benny, Bodie and Doyle, thru Murph and the terrible Rita, to Doyle high as a kite and getting his thigh pinched, to the gals as bunnies, it was all wonderfully entertaining. I chuckled and marvelled the whole way through, so a HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU!!

Ah thank you so much! ‘The Professionals: The Movie’ *g* What a compliment, I feel chuffed to bits with that. I am so glad you liked it!

What a wonderful, fun story, and hilarious too, loved the lads' banter! (“Means they dance with a pineapple,” Hee!)
So many wonderful parts, including Doyle flying high and then suffering the next morning, and Bodie trying to lose at snooker!
Thank you!

Cheers! The story just grew ever larger around those bunny girls – glad the banter worked for you and that you enjoyed it! I had fun writing it :)

OMG, Doyle flying high, Bodie in a tight T-shirt, and Cowley holding his arm out for a bunny lady. I luv love the way you reincarnated all the CI5 personnel--pairs, solos, and all the woman agents, yeh. What a bewitching tail. Salute!

Thanks for taking time to comment, I really do appreciate it! Really pleased you liked it, nice to hear which bits stood out for you. I do like getting all of CI5 involved within a tale, there were some great characters within that were sadly underused, although I think we all make up for that in our own way ;)

This is terrific. I absolutely loved your Cowley, and the second scene was just perfect in every respect - the dialogue, Cowley's reflections (elbow-sized dents in the filing cabinets - great picture!). You had me sold on this from the beginning, & the whole thing was just a joy to read. The commentary on the "diversion" was a hoot, and some of those images will live me with for a long time! Anson as the deadliest man in a feather boa that anyone would wish to meet for a start *g*

Ah cheers! I am so glad you liked it, thanks for letting me know the bits that stood out for you, really nice to hear! It was fun to imagine it, I could see it all so clearly, glad that it all seems to come across as I hoped *g*

Hurray! [Asy salutes as "Fanfare for the Common Man" plays in the background].

Smashing ficcage. Very nearly perfect. Outstanding plot, terrific dialogue, dozens of brilliantly clever lines, wonderful humor, and some delightful images. Love the way you brought in so many CI5 characters, and your own creations were quite charming too. I liked the Bodie and Doyle parts, and their interaction, subtle and comfy.

Enjoyed this thoroughly from beginning to end. And undoubtedly will read it again.

Heh! Oh this is lovely, 'very nearly perfect' - that just made me smile for ages *g* I am so glad you liked it – it was those tails y’see (when in doubt, add another bunny!) and it just all grew from there :) Thanks so much for your feedback, much appreciated!

Ack! I never commented!

What I *meant* to say, weeks ago, was that this was an absolutely terrific story. I liked the plotting and the original characters were very entertaining. The bunny tails! Hee!

This definitely could have been filmed. I would have given anything to see Doyle high. Terrific story!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Heh! No worries at all, thanks for passing by to comment! And thanks for your words - nice to hear you could see it as a film - oh I wish! Cheers!

Oh, big fun! Those poor bunny ladies. They got quite a bit more than they were bargaining for by marching in the parade. Wonderful mix of humor and case. I really enjoyed it. Thanks.

Oh good, 'big fun' is definitely what I was going for! Oh those bunny ladies… I think they were pretty happy in the end, and perhaps Cowley ended up with a nice friendship with one, at least! Glad you liked it!
