Help! I can't stop!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

This one is a companion to Journey and Switching Drivers. It also stands alone, I think!

I really do expect this will be my last for awhile, though. EH just walked in and she says she's taking away my computer privileges, for my own good.



Alternate Route


Cowley’s narked, and Bodie knows it’s not fair. It isn’t as if he crippled the git. Broken fingers heal up easily, and if he can’t handle the mats then what the hell will he do on the streets? Bodie doesn’t want a partner who folds when things get tense.

“Meet your new partner,” Cowley says. It’s a warning.

Bodie turns. Skinny bloke, still in his copper’s uniform, hat under his arm. Cowley’s barmy if he thinks...

Then the copper smiles and Bodie has to remind himself that he can’t – he won’t – he simply doesn’t want a partner.

Nice smile, though.

~end~

Hehehe, I really love those drabbles of yours. Nice smile indeed. And Doyle looks fantastic in that black uniform. So does Bodie, btw.

Noooo, you can't just stop now! Look at all those poor bunnies hopping around aimlessly! *Catches one and throws it at you*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Ack! *ducks flying bunny*

I'm really glad you're enjoying my drabbles, but I do need to quit for now. I have things. Things that need doing. Important real life things. ;-)

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

What, you mean things more important than playing with Doyle and Bodie? o.O

Okok, just kidding. Go and do your laundry and dish washing. Sometimes I hate RL, don't you?

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If I could get away with it, I'd just sit around and write all day. But then again, some of my best plot bunnies show up when I'm doing housework, so maybe it's all for the best. :-)

Ah, this is so Bodie. The casual attitude to the havoc he's wreaked on these so called partners, and then his "nice smile, though" reaction to one curly-haired copper that is, of course, the real deal.

So EH has done an intervention on you, has she? Y'know, she could always sit down and scribble one for us while you go off and tend to RL.

C'mon EH..

..you know you want to..

*g*

Aw... she's saying, "No, I don't!" But I'll work on her. We're taking the dog out for a walk, so she won't be able to get away from me.

Glad you liked my drabble!

Ooh, the prequel! Lovely! When the drabblefest is over, they could all be collated into sets .... all those lovely bunnies deserve a comfy display where we can revisit and admire them ...

he can't - he won't - he doesn't want - but he will!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Lol! Poor Bodie, he doesn't know he's doomed. It was preordained.

I am hoping Slanted Light will be collecting these somehow. I have the other DIALJ zines she's done and they're terrific.

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

all this talk of bunnies ... I just watched Wallace and Gromit and the curse of the wererabbit and it made me laugh more than usual. And you are so queen of the drabble btw *doffs hat*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Ack! No! Not queen! Put that hat right back on. *frowns imperiously, then hastily rearranges expression to something less queenly*

There are many fantastic drabbles being posted today, what aren't mine. I don't even think I've necessarily even written the most. (Did I? I hope not...)

But I do love bunnies. And thank you. You're very sweet. :-)

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Bodie doesn't know what he's in for! But he'll live. Doyle will make sure of that. Thank you, Rebel. You are the head-drabbler.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Nah - there's some awesome drabbles being posted today. I can't claim to be anything like "head-drabbler", though it's sweet of you to say so.

And yeah - I do like Bodie when he's still clueless. :-) Doyle will take care of him!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

No Bodie doesn't need a partner but he knows what's good, the sensualist that he is... These things are fun, thanks!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Bodie's a sucker for a pretty smile. :-) I'm glad you're enjoying my drabbles!

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

This one's fun! I soon got over my initial WTF reaction when I realised you'd written "Cowley's narked" and not "Cowley's naked" ! (Need to get my mind out of the gutter)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Sigh... EH saw that, too. But unfortunately she only saw it after I posted it! Or I would have changed it to pissed. But now she's saying that the naked is good. The naked is right. The world needs more naked Cowleys apparently.

Glad you liked it! :-)

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

LOL. Never gonna win, is he. Poor Bodie.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's fallen hard and he doesn't even know it yet. :-)

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

Very nice.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Oh what a temptation for the poor man. Dangling a Doyle in uniform in front of him like that. Cowley knows their weaknesses better than they do.
Sneaky bugger...lol

Well done you and thank you.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Lol - Yenta Cowley!

I'm glad you liked it - I think it's a lovely visual, too. :-)

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Lovely!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you like it. :-)
