Title: This Week it Rained
Author: [livejournal.com profile] halotolerant
Artist: Rain/[livejournal.com profile] milomaus
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle (mention of past Bodie/OFC and Doyle/OFC)
Word count: 25,322
Warnings:This fic contains themes of congenital childhood disability and reference to serious illness in children as well as bereavment. Characters use ableist and homophobic language. Please consider whether this will upset or trigger you before reading.

Summary: So that was it, Ray thought. Bodie was an unstable loner who wanted no-one and that nobody wanted

Ray Doyle is not best pleased by his CI5 partner assignment, but determined to make the best of it – it’s his career after all. And as the years pass, he grows pretty accustomed to Bodie after all. In fact, maybe too accustomed.

Getting to know someone, all of someone, can be more than painful, it can be friendship-breaking, and when a sudden tragedy exposes a whole new side to Bodie's secrets, Ray isn't sure he can cope with what Bodie’s been keeping secret, or with the fact that Bodie did keep it secret, all these years.

Trying to help someone desperately vulnerable, struggling to deal with his feelings, can Ray work out whether this partnership has finally reaching breaking point? And if so, where do they go from here?

Notes: Thank you to my wonderful artist Rain ([livejournal.com profile] milomaus) for the stunning artwork - you are so talented ♥ & thank you to [livejournal.com profile] moth2fic for turning it into gorgeous icons! Thank you to my beta [livejournal.com profile] elfwhistletree for many hours of discussion. Thank you to the Big Bang Mods for running things and making this all possible - you rock!

You can put the warnings in normally if you like. We just included the hidden coding in case you're worried about warning spoiling the story.

I've really been looking forward to a longer story from you and I can't wait to read this. (I'm a slow reader and there's already a bit of a backlog...). Anbd thanks for all your hard work in getting this to our screens.

Ahhh *looks happy*. I just read your story. It's your special way of writing in this story (like in many of your others), which I really love. The way you mix up things - softness and hardness, milk and love, inside and outside, flippancy and bewilderment, and it's a way to mesmerize me while I am reading it, I'm drawn into the story, in a merciless and light weighted and intense story.

I'm only able to use words which are mostly opposed to each other in their meaning, there is no other way for me to describe it.

Btw it was the scene with Bodie drinking milk and Doyle thinking about Cornflakes which had me in tears nearly, and I don't understand it at all. I don't understand the way you are writing, and why you are able to talk about deep emotions when you are writing about milk. But I know it's great.

I agree to Potzis comment and what you called 'the sense you was aiming for'!
(That copy and paste thing doesn't always work on my kindle... )

Very well done! :-)

(LOL! I love my kindle, but not writing longer comments on it....)

Many congratulations!

I really enjoyed the story - spread out over four reading periods, I was always keen to get back to find out how things turned out. I do get that depth of sadness from Bodie, although from canon I am often not sure why - you explained beautifully, thank-you.

And the art was great - interesting, original and in character - good job.

Poor Bodie! What a self-righteous mother. His whole family must be awful to leave him alone like that.
So surely no easy stuff your story.
But nonetheless I enjoyed it immensely!

I've already told Rain how fantastic her art is.

Thank you both!!! :-)
