And here's a little something I just threw together. :-)

Day is scarier than night. By day there's no avoiding seeing everything there is to see. Cowley's frustration, Bodie's scowl, the way that his own hand shakes infinitesimally before the action, as well as after. By day, one day, he might have to see someone hurt because he's getting too fucking old for this. And him not forty yet.

One night, keeping company in the dark, Bodie states, "Time we packed this in."

"That obvious, is it?" There's no hiding the relief in his voice.

"Always did need me to point out the obvious." He's a smug bastard, sometimes, Bodie.

Oh, nice - love that first line... *g* Thank you!

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I wrote this rather late at night, so I'm glad that apparently it works. :-)

Hehe, very nice. And thanks for the "Bodie"-ending *G*

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much. I tried to have a considerate last word. *g*

Great first line - and the rest tells quite the little tale too! I like how it's Bodie that gives voice to what Doyle's feeling and thinking.

I like the potential of drabbles. Thank you. :-)

That's lovely. The lads reading each other as usual :) And yes, Bodie can be a smug bastard, but he's Doyle's smug bastard ;)

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Indeed, he is. Thank you. :-)

There's an awful lot of self-awareness packed into those 100 words. Thank you!

I'm fond of drabbles as a form, I must admit. Thank you very much.

A brief but accurate description of the end of their dangerous career!
And an end I would like! "O.K., let's go!"
Thanks!

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Yeah, better this end than some I could think of...Thank you. :-)

Nice exchange between the lads. Obvious how much they rely on each other. Thanks.

I guess the fun of fanfic is playing with how far they rely on each other. :-) Thank you.
