Big Bang 2012: Measuring Scars by Maddalia

Title: Measuring Scars
Author: [livejournal.com profile] maddalia
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] nickygabriel
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle, other m/m
Word count: 69907
Warnings (highlight to read): This fic contains occasional depictions of, and allusions to, consensual sexual acts between boys of 16 and under. This is mostly of the "public school experimentation" type, and does not include penetrative sex. The descriptions are brief and mildly graphic, such that might have an R or "Mature" rating if they depicted the same acts between adults. There are also allusions to, and recollections of, the sexual abuse of teenage boys. The recollections are told first by a boy of sixteen, and second by an adult male.

Summary: The death of Bodie's mother when he's only nine years old sets in motion a chain of events that eventually leads him to CI5, and Doyle. But when the lads are assigned to protect a volatile ex-KGB assassin, it seems that Bodie has not managed to escape his past as thoroughly as he'd thought. Now he needs Doyle's help to break a cycle of abuse and violence, and bring a happy ending to someone else's love story -- as well as trying to begin one of his own.

Notes: This fic is the longest I've written. It would not have been possible without the input and beta reading of moonlightmead. I also thank merentha13 for her encouragement, and the wonderful mods of CI5BOT for guiding this newbie through her first Big Bang! And of course, a massive thank you to nickygabriel for the lovely artwork.
