Title: Journey to the Summer Country
Authors: moth2fic/Fictionwriter (margaret_r)
Artist: loxleyprince
Archive to Pros Lib: No
Genre: Slash/AU
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 19,412

Summary: Raedwolf and Beau, in mediaeval Oxfordshire, are assigned another special task. Study of Cowley's scroll at the Oxford priory has produced a possible lead to the holy grail or something equally wonderful. The pair set out for Glastonbury with Henry (Cowley's son) and his tutor. The adventure might take them to the Tor or under it. And there may be others interested in their destination.


Notes: Thank you to ci5mates for the beta work, advice and being a sounding board for ideas, and to loxleyprince for the brilliant artwork that has brought the story to life. Thanks also to the Mods for presenting another year of Pros BB.

This story follows The Morning Gift by moth2fic and An Oxford Tale by Fictionwriter, but can be read as a stand-alone.

This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to dive in but sick dog comes first today. Then I shall enjoy this!

I do hope your dog is okay, I hate it when one of my pets is not well.

Hope you enjoy the fic when you get to it too. It does have a canine hero your dog might be able to relate to*g*

The story really reminds me of the adventure stories of my childhood. And the fact that Bodie and Doyle are in it just adds to the pleasure! :-)
I like all participants of the group. Henry, Brother John and of course Sight! The Glastonbury Tor and the caves under it are fantastic!
And surely the art is a treasure!
- who needs the Holy Grail? ;-)

Thank you both! :-)

You are very welcome! I'm so glad you liked our tale and found so much to enjoy in it. It's been a lot of fun to put the lads into a sort of Arthurian legend and see what they could do with it:) The art is indeed a treasure, we were so lucky to have such a talented artist for the story. But then we have been exceedingly lucky with the artists for all the stories in that 'verse:)

Thank you for reading and thank you very much for such lovely comments:D
