Well, it's definitely past midnight on the 30th of June, even in Pago Pago, so that's another Dialj challenge over... *g* Thank you to everyone who took part, and a special big thank you to our guest challenger for June -

draycevixen did an excellent job with her pokey stick!

Writers don't forget to send your fic for archiving to The Hatstand, a Pros archive which doesn't collect stories automatically any more, but is another brilliant place to find Pros fic - some of which you won't read anywhere else. The Hatstander is generally very quick to archive fic, and since there are still alot of Pros fans not on lj, it's good to get stories a bit further out... Click on the link above to get to the Hatstand page, which has an easy link for submitting stories right there...

There will, of course, be another challenge up very soon - and I rather think we'll go back to our original remit of posting something a little seasonal... *g*

Today is officially the last day for the Discoverd Out of Context challenge. I say "official" because of the usual allowances for time differences in Pago Pago.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who posted a story and to flex the titanium pokey stick at any of you who might be still finishing one up.

Just in case you've just been seized by a last minute urge to write a drabble or some such, the link to all of the prompts is HERE.

Again, thanks a lot!

Despite the quite disappointing lack of pokey stick, I have actually managed to come up with something to squeak in under the deadline for the challenge this month.

My prompt: You are a dyed-in-the-wool, fascist, reactionary, squalid little, 'know your place', 'don't rise above yourself', 'don't get out of your hole' - complacent little turd. Steptoe and Son

( Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes )

H'okay, this is my second piece of Pros fic and very different from the first. Be warned - there's no Bodie in this, it's pre-CI5. In fact it's set in Birmingham in the extremely cold winter of 1963 and... well, that's all I'm going to say other than that the quote is -
T.Rex, 'Fiery skies in children eyes
Fade into youth bleeding blood and tears'... so be warned!
Cozy this isn't!
And... HUGE thanks to byslantedlight, who has beta'd it for me at supersonic speed! J, you are a star!

This was supposed to be about 500 words long but it grew to be 5,761 words long… Eep!

Another offering for the Discovered out of Context challenge. It's the lads making excuses. Oh, and concrit welcomed, as always.

It's all

corvidology's fault, I tell you.

This is my first ever piece of Pros fic and would not be here if

londonronnie hadn't been so encouraging - and so quick with her beta!
Many thanks!
I have tried to follow instructions as regards posting etc, so if I have cocked it up many apologies to the moderators.

I saw this quote from Dance Away by Roxy Music - 'Loneliness is a crowded room, Full of open hearts turned to stone'

and it got the creative juices flowing - rather unexpectedly too.

I found another passage I really liked, this time from sleuth: The shortest way to a man's heart is through humiliation.

This seemed particularly appropriate given the teasing nature and prank pulling that seems to be the status quo at CI5. With Doyle and Bodie, however, I thought it had a more personal, and maybe deeper psychological meaning, which I couldn't help but imagine here...

Acts of War and Other Foreplay

Special thanks go to Elizabeth O’Shea for Brit Reading this with her extra-special be-kind-to-silly-American-writer-glasses… Any mistakes are absolutely mine...

Bodie’s record for going to ground, up until that moment, not counting the dreadful aftermath of the cock-up which got Marikka killed was three and a half hours. Usually, he let Doyle find him long before that, and Doyle was getting worried. Six hours earlier they’d parted company, albeit not on the best of terms.

This is not what I intended to do today! Blame

corvidology . She very kindly told me that she wouldn't poke me, given the current state of my life. Thank you! Um...but see, this quotation demanded attention:

I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs
And too many right wing meetings. Down in the Tube Station at Midnight – The Jam

Another entry for the Discovered out of Context Challenge. The prompt I used was:-

Clever fellow, Death is. I've tried to find him on my terms, and God knows I've tried, from 'Robin and Marion'.

I thought as I’m hosting this party that it was way past time I actually wrote something for it… sorry!

This is only my second Pros story that’s longer than a drabble and the first one was PWP. That said, non-constructive criticism cheerfully tolerated – points for creativity, but please do not mention my mother.

Suggested by the quotation: Presumably I'm the condemned man and obviously you're the hearty breakfast. Diamonds are Forever

Whatever you Want

The following effort was suggested by the quote

I love everyone's challenge responses so much and read them all the time on the Circuit Archive. I thought I'd add my modest endeavors here, hoping no one sticks pins in my little Voodoo doll of love for the Lads... I hope it's okay for me to join the fun... if it's not contact me privately please and I'll go away...

Here's a short story for the Discovered Out of Context Challenge using "You can't go back to the way things were, cause they were never that way in the first place." The Pursuaders...

Really, this is so apt as to seem almost trite, isn't it?

Just a dribbly drabble, so no need for a cut. Written for the DOOC challenge, part two. The quote I used is:

Are you drinking because he nearly died or because he didn't? From I, Claudius

- - - - -

So Near, Yet So Far

His hand shakes as he lifts the tumbler to his mouth, the amber liquid sliding smoothly down his parched throat. It burns, but not as much as the craving that constantly burns within him, this need for his partner that simmers and bubbles; always just out of reach, because that’s where he keeps it.

He picks up the second glass. He always pours two drinks, because Bodie’s always here. Just because he’s in hospital doesn’t make him any less near.

They’ll be the death of each other. He knows it.

But they’ll go together, so it won’t matter at all.
