Fic: Makin' Plans

[ausmac.livejournal.com]

Based on schnuffi's last word "life" I realise it's more than 100 words, for which I apologise. I tried to cut it down, honestly I did...

---

Life's somethin' that happens to you while you while you're makin' plans. John Lennon said that. Very clever man, till he got himself killed, but then, that's sort of what he was talkin' about. You don't plan to get shot by a lunatic. Like I didn't plan to find Doyle. And everything that happened after that.

I didn't make plans. I didn't hope. I just took each day as it came. Now I watch his back - and his front, which is even better to watch than his back - do my job, be the best I can at what we do. Learn about myself in the way he touches me, learn about him in the way he moves and sounds when I'm with him.

I'm his - what, guardian angel? Daft. He'd think that was funny. I dunno what he is to me. Never had anyone like him. He's my life. He's what happened to me when I'd given up makin' a plan.

Hey Mac! Didn't expect to run into you over here! *waves*

Really nice observation of the uncertainty of their lives.

Part of the impact of it is having this sudden break of humour in the middle of it...

Now I watch his back - and his front, which is even better to watch than his back

Thank you! ♥

As to your "claim" about the 100 words we all know you were born to be a rebel! *eg*

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I was writing the lads when most of the people on this community were in diapers/nappies/very tiny pants. That's my excuse (-:

And thank you for the good words.

Perhaps... I wore very tiny pants for a very long time until my arse wasn't quite so tiny anymore! *eg*

Love how Doyle has wormed his way into Bodie's life without him noticing. But he doesn't seem to mind too much, does he?

Lovely :)

Thanks. They make a good pair, these two.

I do like this. I can see him in his role as Doyle's Guardian Angel and vice versa.

He's my life Something that Bodie seems a bit surprised about.

I think he would be, big macho self-sufficient lad suddenly finding himself caring about someone. Thanks (-

I'll forgive you for not doing 100 words since this was a bit of all right. *g* Thanks!

Thank you. Drabbles are a lot harder to write than many people think. It's all in the detail.

You're forgiven *absolves you* This was really very nice. Doyle's got a way to grow on you without you realizing it at first. Love the part about watching his front *G* I have a terrible obsession with Doyle's arse but his front IS worth watching - especially when Bodie's around *EG*

Thanks for writing this!

Oh and you fluffy cat icon somehow reminds me of Doyle...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh I do like that last line, and the whole idea of it... that Doyle happened to Bodie. *g* Thank you!

Gorgeous. Love the symmetry of the first and last lines. *is a sucker for symmetry*. Well done, and thanks.

I too am much into symmetry, one reason I love LoM so much. Thanks (-:
