Fic: Ice-Cold in Alexandra Palace by unbelievable2

Title: Ice-Cold in Alexandra Palace
Author: [livejournal.com profile] unbelievable2
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] krisserci5
Archive to Pros Lib: No
Genre: Gen
Characters/pairing: Bodie, Doyle, Cowley
Word count: 26,303
Warnings: None

Summary: It’s July, 1976 - the hottest summer on record , there’s an assassin with a dastardly secret weapon on the loose, a diplomat to be delivered, and all Bodie wants is a nice cold beer.

Notes: This is a romp, pure and simple, written for [livejournal.com profile] moonlightmead and [livejournal.com profile] minori_k, with my love.
Huge thanks to the Mods for organising this Big Bang.

My thanks are also due to [livejournal.com profile] krisserci5, who has produced the most wonderful illustrations for this story. They are full of the hurry and worry that I wanted to convey, the colours and styles add so much to the text, and as a whole they provide a perfect 'backdrop' of the Lads' London.
Much gratitude to my lovely beta, [livejournal.com profile] alobear, she of the eagle-eye and the ability to see round corners, who has been through the text with her customary attention to detail and flair, and who has pointed up the errors and inconsistencies. Any faults that remain are mine alone.
Finally, more notes about the story appear at the end!

I'm way behind with my reading but I'm really looking forward to reading your story! And I love the title, partly because I loved the film.

Well done and thanks!

I remember the Summer of '76 with great fondness, so I'm really looking forward to revisiting it through your story. I've got a bar of chocolate with me, the rest of the afternoon free, and the link to your story on AO3 already open. Happy Sunday! :-)

Congratulations! \o/ I really like the sound of a "romp", so I shall look forward to this. It might just be the perfect distraction from the stresses of moving. *g* Thank you, and yay!

Congratulations on posting!

It looks like you have a story and a half simmering away there. I like the premise. Can't wait to read it! :D

I suspect it was more your story! :-)

I cannot, cannot, CANNOT wait to read this. When I have finished editing, I will be reading like an idiot, but it's always more special to know that you are reading something by a really really lovely person.
