Four Things Bodie Forgot

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

I haven't read or commented yet on so many stories because I've been working frantically on my own (I'll get to it--I swear!).  Luckily, I finished in time.  

For your reading pleasure, I give you Four Things Bodie Forgot (and One He Didn't).  It's holiday tinged, yet covers a lot of ground overall.  My prompts were champagne and Christmas crackers.  I owe a huge debt of gratitude to callistosh65 and przed.  I hope you like it.

I love this, just love it. It works so well. I'm a sucker for a good story that flashes back to Bodie the tyke in Liverpool, and then takes us through to his life with Doyle. You know already that my favourite part is the last part - the sex is hot, and your drunk Bodie is a delight. I giggled and wanted to hug him constantly.

Very hard to pick out a favourite line, but this is so very Bodie:
"Oh come on, Doyle. You must know what you're like. All eyes and hair and boneless grace. You're decorative, petal. Always have been."

Just wicked.*g*

And I love that moment on the floor at the end, when Doyle just holds Bodie.
Oh, the whole thing is terrific, An. Just not so long between stories now, okay??

You know, I find it easier to get inside Bodie's head (which is no doubt obvious, as all four of my posted stories are from his POV), but I kind of like writing Ray's scorching tongue and trying to balance that with some unexpected gentleness from him, particularly towards Bodie. The yin/yang of it is appealing.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and thanks again for your CRAZY, WONDERFUL help with it. I don't know that I've ever had a beta turn around a story in less than fifteen minutes. :-)

Happy New Year, sweetie.

I don't know that I've ever had a beta turn around a story in less than fifteen minutes. :-) Dead easy when there's bugger all to suggest.. You nailed squiffy Bodie so perfectly that there was basically nothing to do but nod and giggle on the last part you sent.*g*
