 1. Untitled

While on vacation (a week's suspension for losing his rag at Cowley) in a small seaside town, Doyle finds himself strangely drawn to an old wreck of a vintage motorcycle with a mysterious, and deadly, past.

Haunting? Possession? Bodie isn't sure what exactly is going on, but Doyle is acting

more than a bit unusual, even for him, ever since he brought that motorcycle back to

London. Doyle finally crosses a line that Bodie can't ignore; and he calls him on it.

Then the bike tries to kill Bodie;

 

When Doyle and the motorcycle disappear one day, Bodie tracks them back to the

same town where it all started, only to discover a local legend involving a certain vintage

motorcycle is about to reach its deadly conclusion;

 

(Bodie/Doyle, AU, elements of the supernatural)
 

 

 

2. No Way in Hell

Cowley sends Bodie and Doyle on a non-assignment to help a friend.
 

 

3. Untitled

When Operation Judas goes sideways and CI5 loses two of its own to the terrorist Herzl group, the whole Squad is devastated. Bodie keeps calm and carries on, while Herzl threatens bloody revenge against everyone from her jail cell. Grieving widow June Cook tells Doyle it’s all right for him to play cowboys for the rest of his miserable, selfish, life; because he doesn't have anyone to lose. Thinking about it, Doyle decides this is probably true. But then again, that may be because he's more than a little lost himself.
 

 

4. What A Day For A Daydream

Detective Constable Ray Doyle dreams about a good-looking bloke he sees often in his lunch café on his patrol route. One day the bloke is injured and Doyle is mistaken for his fiancé. This is a film fic, based on the film, While You Were Sleeping.
 

 

5. Untitled

 

Bodie is new to CI5. He has been placed in an undercover role in a semi Operation Susie to help locate the Home Secretary's estranged daughter who was abducted off the street. Working as Andrew Phillips, his undercover persona, he discovers several possible avenues which could all explain her disappearance. Finding her becomes slightly more complicated when a local pusher called Ray Duncan crosses his path from the first day and sets his heart and groin on fire. When the reason of her disappearance is found it is more

devastating than Cowley or Bodie originally thought.
 

 

6. The Death Knell of an Affair: The Shooting

After six months apart Bodie and Doyle's partnership is extremely fragile, especially since they had become lovers only a few months before Bodie left to help a former SAS friend. Now they working together again, but in a disastrous chase into a warehouse, Bodie shoots Doyle and kills him.

Fortunately, as the body is viewed Bodie, who knows Doyle's body so well realizes that the dead man is not Doyle. The hunt then begins for Doyle and after he is found alive but extremely hostile towards Bodie's lack of loyalty, their friendship as well as their partnership teeters on the bring of extinction.

Since Doyle is nearing 40 years of age so he decides to resign on his birthday, but he is assigned to be Murphy's partner for his remaining time. This situation causes Bodie's extreme jealousy to materialize and all the efforts by the two men to restore some harmony before Doyle leaves seems to be hopeless, especially since Colin Murphy's doing his best be the best friend that Doyle needs so badly.

Can the two former lovers overcome the hostility and mistrust that exists between them or will Doyle leave to go north and find a new way of life.
 

 

7. For the Win

Bodie and Doyle plan to spend the weekend at an elegant manor to attend the reading of a will - Bodie is a long lost relative! They're happy to find Sid Halley and Chico Barnes in attendance, as well. Murder, secret romances and family drama complicate matters more than anyone expected.
