Drabble that's all Rebel's fault. . .

Okay, so technically I wrote it, but Rebel used the puppy eyes of doom on me! I was almost helpless in their thrall.

Ahem. With profound apologies to the late Quentin Crisp for nicking his title.



The Naked Civil Servant

Cowley wasn't a fool. He'd seen enough careers ruined by just the semblance of an abuse of power. He knew the differences between them in class, social standing, and the simple chain of command made their relationship wrong even if both of them weren't men.

Moreover, their choice of venue wasn't just illicit but illegal. His office, where Her Majesty's business was carried out, hardly qualified as the private environs homosexuality was banished to by law.

Cowley sipped his single malt. Perhaps he was a fool, he thought. But he wasn't a coward.

His door opened.

"George."

Cowley smiled. "Minister."

Yay, you did it!

Cowley/Minister slash rocks! I expect more, you know. Whole fics. Long fics! With lots of sordid details. :-)

EH, you let Rebel corrupt you! LOL! Is Georgy calling him "Minister" all night? Thanks for playing.

Right up to the last line I was thinking Cowley/Bodie. So glad I was wrong! Well done.

OMG!!! LOL So good, this.

Love it! This really should be the overture for more!

Lovely to see Cowley get a bit of affection. And with the Minister! Brilliant.

Ah, EH - see? I told Rebel that you'd be a fine, fine keyboarder while she went and did Real Life stuff. I love that you slashed Cowley with the Minister. Oh my Lord, only you could do this and make me love it:))

LOL! Caught me totally off guard. All I thought was Doyle & Bodie. I'm not one for Cowley slash (shudders) but that was one hell of a cool drabble. Thanks!

Heee! This is so much fun! You misled us totally at first, only to spring a whole new world on us with the last word. Cowley certainly deserves some tlc - but I suspect he rarely if ever stops thinking about the ramifications ...

I was waiting for them two about to be caught when Ta-Da! Hmm... now which minister are we talking here?

Thanks so much for this and for sharing it with us. :)
