Pros Big Bang: Psychic Dreams by Ankaree

Title: Psychic Dreams
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ankaree
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] sc_fossil
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 56,189
Warnings: NC-17

Summary: William Bodie has dealt with a lot of odd things while working with CI5, but when self-proclaimed psychic, Raymond Doyle, provides explicit details of a murder Bodie's investigating, he begins to suspect that Doyle is somehow more involved than he's willing to admit. Could he be telling the truth about his psychic abilities... or could he be the murderer Bodie is hunting?

Notes: Thank you to both my beta's, sc_fossil and londonronnie. This story would never have been possible without all their hard work and support *kisses*. And a special thank you to sc_fossil for making my cover art and for the awesome vid!

I couldn't wait to print it (at work), and the E-Reader files were available...
I'm right in the middle, and I love it!
Among everything else it's so nice to see them fall in love as strangers.
"William Bodie was tall, broad shouldered, muscular. He appeared to be the same age as Doyle, perhaps a year or two younger. And he was handsome. Very handsome. And he exuded a hint of sly mischievousness with an air of scintillating mystery and raw danger.

When Doyle looked into his eyes, he felt something heavy grow and twist in his stomach. Bodie's eyes were blue, his hair short and dark, exactly like the man in Doyle's nightmare.

He'd never had a prophetic dream in his life, and now here was the man he'd dreamt of only a few hours ago. The man who had been trying to strangle him. When Doyle had first seen him standing at his front door, he'd wanted to slam it shut – and run..."


OK - to 'strangle him' doesn't sound like 'falling in love'... but it IS very lovely! :-)

I like the way you had the two threads of brotherly rivalry weaving through the story, but with very different outcomes.

The Video is fantastic too!
That music seems to be made just for it. And the effects, words and the scenes are such a good teaser!

But Kat...
"...Bodie, CI5 agent 4.5..."
I couldn't believe my eyes!
:-) :-) :-)

Oh, good grief... I need to fix that! Thanks, firle.

Thanks for your hard work and for being such a good friend. I enjoyed doing the vid and banner for you very much. *big hug*

You sure now how to keep a gal on the edge of her chair! You made every contact Ray had with someone so vivid and bone jarring I could feel myself flinching. And I enjoyed the way you led Bodie through his own issues to keep Ray and to reconnect with his brother. It was a great read.

I just read the first paragraph and it sounds very promising to me. I will plunge into it as soon as possible.
The cover art looks very good too, lovely bright red font.
I love the vid, it's kind of hypnotising. :-)

I'm glad you got into the vid! It's on three places so hopefully every one will find at least one place that cooperates!

Cool. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for that - was about to report the error message but this link works fine.

I'm very partial to stories about psychics working with cops, so this was a guaranteed hit with me. *g*

Nicely done!

And Kat

I think you could make a tidy side income doing book trailers. *g* That was great.

LOL! I wish! It was fun thinking of things to show what the story was about just to give a taste of what was to come.

Thank you, J!

Wow! I loved this! Gobbled it all up in one reading, and now I've got a numb bum! Still, it was so worth it. Doyle's nightmare at the beginning just got me completely hooked. And the horror is palpable. Great stuff.

Ankaree and sc_fossil, thank you for making this such a big bang!

[identity profile] sc-fossil.livejournal.com 2010-09-18 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You're most welcome! It's been such fun doing the art and vids for these wonderful stories.

[identity profile] callistosh65.livejournal.com 2010-09-19 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Fantastic vid and a thoroughly absorbing tale. I loved the pace of their falling towards each other. (And a stubborn Bodie is such a kink of mine:-) This was a great way to get caught up this weekend, so thank you both!

[identity profile] sc-fossil.livejournal.com 2010-09-19 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, S! I'm tickled you enjoyed my vid.

[identity profile] andreathelion.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
This was one of the stories you need to finish once you've started reading :D

You really did a brilliant job with this story, thanks a lot for writing!!

I tried to download the vid but sendspace says it's been deleted. Help?

This should work. Let me know if you have any problems. Thank you.

I enjoyed this immensely! And having never read the novel, there were plenty of surprises. And I really liked the inclusion of Bodie's brother, their relationship in juxtaposition with the others.

[identity profile] hambelandjemima.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I really enjoyed this story. The blossoming relationship between our two favourite lads was lovely to read and the mystery had me puzzling over who the murderer could have been.

I love AUs! Thanks for an intriguing story! I'm not convinced I believe in psychics but then I'm not sure about werewolves, either ;) It's fun to explore way-out what if?s, isn't it?!

I couldn't access the vid by either route - in one it had been removed and in the other not yet put up - is there another way?

[identity profile] sc-fossil.livejournal.com 2010-10-17 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for asking, moth!

The vid is here for download and/or streaming: http://www.4shared.com/video/-uqwOovK/PsychicDreams001_final_.html

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this story! I'm not one who normally seeks out stories about psychics and dreams and things but your writing made the subject enjoyable! I loved the way you depicted their growing attraction, too, and this, plus the bonus of an intriguing plot which made me actually think, add up to the perfect story.

Thanks for your hard work in making the Big Bang such a success.

I'd love to see the vid. Any chance of a re-upping the download?

I've opened a 4shared account where you can watch and download. The three story vids I did are in The Professionals folder. Thanks for asking!
