Notes: Written for the April Drabble Challenge - my prompt was 'Old Father Time'


Reflections

His waistline was definitely thicker, his hair nearly all grey now, although he hadn't lost any, thank god.

He raised his eyes to meet the reflected gaze of the man standing behind him, smiling ruefully as two leather-clad arms wrapped around him.

"We're getting old, mate."

"Better than the alternative. Most people expected us to be pushing up daisies years ago. Anyway, I'd rather have Old Father Time knocking on the door than Old Father Cowley."

Doyle couldn't argue with that. He turned into Bodie's embrace and grinned.

"Still, with age comes experience, eh?"

Bodie grinned back.

"Care to demonstrate?"

Great fic!

Thank you!

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... I love the imagination of them getting old!
"Most people expected us to be pushing up daisies years ago."
And they are still wearing leather jackets!
Thanks!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love the thought of them growing old disgracefully together *g*

Glad you liked it!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Very nice! A lovely moment of life with them as older lads. Old Father Cowley - hee!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I do have a bit of a soft spot for older lads!

[bistokids.livejournal.com]

What a delicious snapshot of the Lads in years to come. Love the ease between them. And older!Bodie in leathers...the very thought...*has drifted off*

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

And older!Bodie in leathers...

Yeah, I did think twice about that - but then I've got a friend who's approaching 80 and he still wears leather jackets, and looks pretty good in them too. So I thought, why not...

Glad you enjoyed it *g*

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I'm particularly fond of Old Father Cowley. *g* I like to think the lads make old bones. Stories like yours keep me hopeful. Thanks!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's good to think of them defying the odds and still being around - and together - post CI5...

Pleased you liked it!

I love to see them growing old together and being still them.
Thank you, that was lovely :D

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

I can't see them changing as they get older, can you? Growing old disgracefully, as I said earlier... *g*

Thanks!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Definitely better than the alternative.

Heee the ronmeister is writing!!! Whoo Hoo. Really enjoyed this, love older boys and I'd love to read more about the demonstration Hee

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Heee the ronmeister is writing!!!

Yeah, I know...wonders will never cease, eh? *g*

I'd love to read more about the demonstration Hee

All I'll say is that Doyle prefers a hands-on approach to these things...

Glad you liked it!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay! Sally Fell fic! *g* Loved the leather jackets too... love older lads... Thank you! *g* (And ooh, ooh, probodie's lads-in-leather-jackets icon! *g*)

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think there'll always be a place for their leather jackets in the (shared) wardrobe, don't you?

Glad you enjoyed it! *g*

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Made me smile - thanks!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Excellent! That's what I was hoping for *g*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Lovely contrast between what the mirror shows and what's still so "young" between them.

Thank you!

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Can't ever see our lads getting old and grumpy, can you?

Glad you liked it!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Lovely. The outside gets a bit older, inevitably, but the inside loses none of its spark! Just as right together as they always have been ... nothing can come between them, not even the years.

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Ah, very nicely put.

I have these visions of them falling over their zimmers whilst indulging in high jinks in the bedroom... *g*

Pleased you liked it.

[towerbridge2006.livejournal.com]

Aw. That's lovely. We all yearn to get the lads back together. *sigh*
Thanks for sharing. :)
