Having a go

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Everybody’s alive. McCabe won’t see the outside of a hospital for a week, but everybody’s alive. Bodie’s alive. Grinning all over his face, the stupid bastard. Does he think I don’t know why he bulldozed me out of the way? Does he think I don’t care he took a crease himself? Stupid bloody bloody-minded bastard.

 

Clean-up’s done. Sun’s out. It’s shining all over him and his hair’s every which way and his eyes are bright and he’s looking right at me and his smile’s gonna have Cowley wondering why any minute now …. think I’ll take the stupid bastard home.

Awwww, sooo lovely. One gotta love them both when they're like this. And so full of love for each other *sigh* Love it!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thanks - yup, it's gotta be love!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Yay! This is such a happy drabble, for all the insults - made me grin, too. Now I'd like to read the bit after they get home. ;-)

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

I think they love each other with insults! Well, more often than with sweet nothings I guess. I wouldn't mind seeing what happened after they got home too!

I like the triumphant post-op feel you sometimes get in a story. The coming down off the adrenalin high, which shows in so many ways. Thanks for giving me a taste of it here.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

High and triumphant - but still furious with Bodie for taking risks on his behalf! I'm so glad you liked it!

You got Doyle's inner voice nicely here - just how I imagine him, fierce and feisty. think I’ll take the stupid bastard home. See? that's perfect Doyle-speak for 'I love you'..*g*

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's just what I hoped would work! That's "I love you" all right - thank you!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Definitely good Doyle-thought here. Very much how I'd expect him to react. Thanks.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you! He wouldn't go all mushy, not even to himself - but he is feeling pretty passionate about Bodie taking risks!

This is gorgeous!
So glad you're not working, and you're writing drabbles instead!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Grr. Actually I am working - but I keep sneaking peeks at dialj! Thanks so much for the lovely comment!

Oh, this was nice! In just a few words you managed to create electricity in the air not only around them but between them with lines like these:

Sun’s out. It’s shining all over him and his hair’s every which way and his eyes are bright and he’s looking right at me and his smile’s gonna have Cowley wondering why any minute now …. think I’ll take the stupid bastard home.

Lovely! and thanks.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think I'm just in love with their being in love with each other, you know? I'm so glad you liked it!

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I'm still trying to work out what my place is going to be in their relationship or, where I come into it (I can dream, can't I?)

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh yes!! Love it!!!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They are just such fun, I can't resist the idea of their annoying each other and loving each other so much.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I can really hear Doyle's voice here, very nice, thanks!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So glad you like it - he's so determined not to come right out with how he feels isn't he!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Awww - Sun’s out.... and his hair’s every which way Perfectly that moment at the end of an op, when everything's alright! Thank you!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

He's normally so well-coiffed, but he was too busy saving Ray to keep kempt!

I would just love to see them happy together ... thanks so much for commenting!

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes. Completely them.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

This works really well. Very 'Doyle'.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think it's him (stroppy git that he is, Bodie still loves him!) - thanks for commenting!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Ah, so them. I can so see that twinkle in his eyes as he looks over, knowing it was all worth it.
I want to see Doyle checking him over now. Bodie at home standing there in his vest while Doyle just has to check out for himself that it is just a crease and nothing more serious, just so he can be sure, you know. :)

This was really lovely.
Thanks for sharing!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, you're right! Doyle has to check him out I mean check out his injury to be sure .... when they're safe home and it's just them .... thanks for the lovely comment!

[przed.livejournal.com]

You've managed a lovely sense of the exhiliration of survival here. Very nicely done.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think Bodie's feeling pretty high right now - Doyle may be feeling a bit frustrated, though (not for long, I hope!) Glad you liked it!
