Author: merentha13
Artist: milomaus
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes, please!
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Doyle/Bodie
Word count: ~ 17,400
Warnings: none

Summary: Unhappy with Bodie’s seeming withdrawal from their relationship and needing time alone, Doyle agrees to a job that has him working with the American CIA and reprising his role as Piet Van Neikerk. Cowley, leaving nothing to chance, secretly sends Bodie in undercover as well. Working separately, each man relives certain moments in their partnership. Triple think and betrayal find both men’s covers blown. Held in a ship’s hold while their captors make arrangements to turn them over to the East Germans, believing they’ve finally used up their luck, each man finally realises what the other means to him.


Notes: Big thanks to anna060957,moonlightmead,minori_k and ci5mates, for beta-ing, brit-checking, plot reviewing and for asking REALLY??!! - in the nicest way, of course *g*! They all helped keep me from turning in some very wrong directons... Thanks also to sc_fossil and msmoat for reading and offering some needed advice.

And of course, thanks to my terrific artist milomaus for artwork that perfectly illustrates the story. Can’t wait for you all to see her fantastic art. Thanks also to moth2fic for lovely icons!

And a big THANKS to all the mods for another great job on the Pros Big Bang!!

It's such a weird feeling to think of being on a Kindle like a "real" author! *g* I hope the story lives up to your expectations.

Posting on AO3 always makes me nervous too. Some of the formatting gets very frustrating. I'm very glad to be done with it! I hope you will enjoy the story!
