Title: An Island Affair
Author: angel_ci5
Artist: firlefanzine
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes please
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 24,000

Summary: When travel critic Raymond Doyle meets hotel owner Bodie, it’s lust at first sight for them both. On a beautiful exotic island they quickly fall for one another and both determine to enjoy their limited time together. But will Doyle’s recent past manage to destroy their brief affair...

Notes: Much like the BB story I posted last year, this was a half-written fic which had been festering in a WIP folder since 2007 when I started it. I didn't think it would ever get to see the light of day, but the BB gave me an incentive to dig it out and try and wrestle it into a fully-fledged story.

Many thanks to firlefanzine for the lovely art, and to shooting2kill for being such a brilliant beta. Any errors, implausibility or causes to suspend disbelief are shamelessly down to me. :)

Thanks also to the mods for once again running everything so beautifully, and making it all happen.

Congratulations! \o/ Heh, I do like the idea of the BB being incentive for finally finishing wips! This sounds like a good story to settle in with, and the art work is gorgeous. *rubs hands in anticipation*

Not only that, but it then also forces you to actually *post* the thing, too, whether you want to or not! *g*

And yes, the art is gorgeous!

Falling in love on a tropical island – it's an intriguing setting.
I'm looking forward to reading it. Great art too. :-)

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The setting probably couldn't get further from London and CI5, but that's the fun of AUs! :)

Yeah!! Cool premise. . .look forward to reading!!

wonderful story ...now i just have visions of a bodie in black swimming trunks floating around inside my head ...thankyou that was fabulousx

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! And what a nice to vision to have! I must confess, the photo of LC in trunks playing cricket on a beach in LA has inspired more than one story scene for me over the years, including that one! :)

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

I'm already enjoying the angle you've used here. I can't wait to find out just what happens on that exotic island. *g*

Congrats on posting!

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! It's fun playing with "what if" and giving the boys different lives and situations, so I hope you enjoy the story and the location! :)

A terrific feel good story with lots of emotion [and the lads in swim trunks!!] I enjoyed this - I'm glad you decided to get this story out of the WIP folder and share it with us.

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really chuffed you enjoyed it, and yes, I must admit I do have a bit of a penchant for lads in swimming trunks... not a bad thing, of course!

Thanks again for your lovely comment! :D

[boothros.livejournal.com]

Loved it. Summery, suspenseful and very very sexy. Thankyou.

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm delighted you enjoyed it! And B & D are verrrrrrry sexy, of course, so I'm really pleased to have brought some to that to the story! Thanks again! :D
