Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle, Cowley, Jax, Phillips, Betty
Word count: 14, 798

Summary: Left a physical and psychological mess after a brutal torture ordeal, Bodie can’t cope with very much except tea. Doyle’s living in, wondering if their fledgling sexual relationship is over, and burning with the need for vengeance. He’d be the perfect cure, only Bodie can’t bear to be touched...

Notes: This is a sequel to my story Today's Lesson. The sadly-absent

myrebelcat wondered at the time what the aftermath of that nightmarish little mess might have been, and what healing may or may not have taken place. Many thanks to her for having asked, to

przed for her fabulous trailer vid using a real favourite song of mine, to the truly outstanding co-mods of this first Pros Big Bang and to

byslantedlight and

foxcat74 for their eagle-eyed and cowboy-expunging beta services (remaining glitches are mine all mine).

Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 24,945
Warnings: Contains minor, non-explicit mention of child prostitution.

Summary: It’s spring 1979 and union leader Tom Findlay is fighting a losing battle against the authorities and owners who want to shut down the last of the upriver docks. Meanwhile, Bodie and Doyle are investigating a murder, one in which Findlay (an old acquaintance of Doyle’s) is the chief suspect. The Lads discover that there’s more going on beneath the muddy waters of the Thames than meets the eye.

Notes: :

byslantedlight battled incidents and accidents and made this a much better story than it was to begin with. My secret beta did a pinch hit when I needed it. All remaining errors are my own!
Also thanks are due to the terrific comm mods for running this challenge *hugs*.

Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 18,647
Warnings: None

Summary: Bodie takes an instant dislike to Ian Woodrow, the man he and Doyle are assigned to protect. Darren Black, Woodrow's partner, is also under protection, but he balks at the tight quarters in the safe house and after having words with Woodrow, he goes missing. Doyle goes looking for Black. When the two men don't return, Bodie and Woodrow must set aside their differences to search for their missing partners.

Notes: With much love and thanks to my lovely beta

catlover2x who always goes above and beyond the call of duty for me, and special thanks to

sc_fossil for writing the summary for me. And I must also thank

jgraeme2007 for giving me a poke in this direction and encouraging me to participate. And more thanks to

raven_rs for helping me fix my embarrassing prison faux pas. ;)

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 32,265
Warnings: None
Summary: Cowley lends Bodie and Doyle to the authorities in Germany to help counter possible neo-nazi terrorism. Hints of the supernatural hinder and help their efforts but not everyone believes... During their time in Germany the lads discover new feelings for each other.

Notes: Many thanks to

margaret_r and

firlefanzine for the beta. All remaining errors are a result of pig-headedly ignoring them. Heartfelt thanks to smirra who has produced the beautiful artwork to acccompany this fic. Many thanks, too, to

kat_lair who is ~~standing by ready to pretend~~ currently pretending to be me and post this if I'm still offline on my assigned day!

The story was inspired by

firlefanzine who remarked, wistfully (I thought), that nobody would ever set a Pros story in Wolfkammer, Komp and Mennkausen, which are villages near the place where she lives. Well, with a challenge like that... and we'd just been discussing the supernatural elements of All The Queen's Men, too!! So Wolfkammer is dedicated to her.

Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 33,249 words.
Warnings: None needed.
Summary: A secret from Bodie’s past has come close to killing him. With Cowley refusing to accept his resignation from CI5 and Doyle turning his back on him, Bodie has fled to his bolt-hole in the countryside to lick his wounds and try to work out what to do next.

Notes: I would like to thank

halotolerant for her invaluable medical beta and help with my timeline. Also, may I just say that if you want to know how to stab someone correctly for maximum damage, ask a doctor. *g* I’d also like to thank

ashley_pitt who was kind enough to answer some very general questions about hand therapy for me. Of course any remaining mistakes are my own.

I’d also like to thank Zed for the lovely trailer vid and of course

przed and

callistosh65 for not only hosting this party but for, well, just being bloody brilliant broads in general. *tips hat*

Lastly, I’d like to thank my flistees for their encouragement, their encouraging mockage of my story related angst and ND, Vic and Mikey in particular for bearing the brunt of it. ♥

Artist name: ILWB

inlovewithboth
Genre: Het
Characters/Pairing: Bodie, Doyle/OFC, Cowley, OCs
Word count: 61,635
Warnings: Torture, violence, graphic het sex scene

Summary: Bodie and Doyle have to babysit a retired assassin who is being targeted by unknown assailants. Cowley wants to use the opportunity to draw out the would-be assassin.

Bodie and Doyle take their charge from one 'safe' place to another, but cannot shake the would-be assassins. The undeniable conclusion is that there is a leak somewhere, but finding that leak may cost the life of the one they are paid to protect

And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway? My friend...

Notes: Huge thanks to ILWB for a fantastic video. And huge thanks to Shirl and Sabs – proof-readers extraordinaire - and the rest of the Magnificent Seven for support and encouragement, and sometimes flat out nagging. It's all your fault, guys.

Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 19,000
Warnings: None needed. Rated R-NC17

Summary: A dead body in the library means much more to Bodie than he dares to let on. An undercover assignment for Ray Doyle draws on skills he thought he'd finished with years previously. When the assignment is finished and secrets have been learned, can they go back to working together as before, or have the dynamics of their partnership shifted irrevocably?

Notes: First off, many thanks to

callistosh65 and

przed for running this marvellous Big Bang and for their patience with me. Also, a huge thank you to my artist,

ancastar for her patience and the gorgeous artwork that she's done for this fic. I must also thank

draycevixen for her encouragement and help along the way. Last, but not least, thank you to the cheerleaders on my flist. You know who you are! And if you're thinking to yourself, Does she mean me? then yes! I probably do! *g*
This fic is the follow on from Dark Alleys and Nameless Faces and Little Black Book which were my first two fics written in this fandom. They don't have to be read in order to make sense of this one.

Author name: PFL
Artist name: Maerrie/

hermine
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 17,606
Warnings: None needed

Summary: Doyle wakes up in a warehouse to find himself injured, suffering from amnesia, and apparently involved in a bombing plot with a man named Foster. He soon meets Williams--a tall, dark, beautiful (and engagingly modest) mercenary arms dealer. Doyle tries to find out who he is, what's going on, and why he instinctively trusts Williams, even though he clearly shouldn’t.

Notes: Thank you to

elizabethoshea, O Anonymous One, and

dorinda for hand-holding, encouragement, beta-work, formatting...everything, really! Thank you to my wonderful, inspiring, incredibly patient artist Maerrie/

hermine. (You all are in for a treat!) Thank you to our fabulous (and also incredibly patient) mods

callistosh65 and

przed. And, finally, a special thank you to my entire F'list (and Circle) for encouragement duty above and beyond. *g*

This has no real relation to the story, but I was repeatedly listening to Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" during crucial pondering time with this story. So for me, at least, the story is infused with that song. (In Bodie's perspective. *g*)

Summary: When he awakens from a coma to discover a London destroyed by a zombie plague, Ray Doyle sets out to find a refuge against infection and, so he hopes, Bodie. A crossover with the 28 Days Later universe.

Notes: Thanks to

draycevixen for invaluable plot advice,

ancastar for her usual impeccable beta skills, and

izzie7 for the helpful Brit check. And to

gblvr, my undying gratitude for inspiring the story at Close Quarters when she said there should totally be a Pros/28 Days Later crossover, and then creating such kickass art to go with the it. Thanks also to my lovely co-mod,

callistosh65, who didn't run away screaming when the idea for running a Pros Big Bang went from idle musings at a con to "we really should do it." It's been a pleasure, babe.

Word count: 29,741
Warnings: NA

Summary: After Doyle is killed in what appears to be a random accident, Bodie attempts to come to terms with all that was left unresolved between them. Then, miraculously, Doyle is discovered alive. But is the man claiming to be Ray Doyle actually a clever imposter?

Notes: Thanks and three very enthusiastic cheers to callistosh65 and przed for all the work they put into making the first ever Big Bang happen. My heartfelt appreciation to Cloudless_9193 who created such a beautiful illustration. And sincerest thanks to my dear friends Angelfish (for the Brit-check) and to C. (for the beta). Any errors which have since crept in are due to supernatural forces -- or possibly me.

Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 24,830 words.
Warnings: None needed.

Summary: It is 1975, the height of the First Wizarding War, and Voldemort's reign of terror has spread far and wide. His followers, the Death Eaters, have begun cursing and killing Muggles. As CI5's brief includes domestic terrorism, the responsibility for stopping Voldemort falls on them -- but this is not a fight they can win without magic. For this reason, Ray Doyle, an Auror, is transferred from the Ministry of Magic to join CI5, as its first and only wizard. But his abilities must remain secret from his fellow agents, including Bodie, his new partner. But Bodie seems to have a few secrets of his own, and it especially doesn't help that Bodie is so damned attractive...

Notes: This is a fusion with the Harry Potter universe, though you do not need to be familiar with Harry Potter to read the story. Thanks to

ancastar for the amazing, amazing vid trailer and artwork! Thanks to the mods for running this thing! Thanks to my friendslist for the encouragement! Thanks to

callistosh65 for the Britpick! Thanks to

lysimache for moral support, fixing my misplaced commas, and providing the idea in the first place!

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!

Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 14,140
Warnings: none given

Summary: After “Close Quarters” – Willis schemes and Cowley worries. Bodie is backed into a corner, but Doyle is right behind him.

Notes:
Many thanks to

callistosh65 and

przed for the Pros Big Bang, bringing together in one place such an abundance of high quality new Pros fic.

I wouldn’t (couldn’t) have joined in the Pros Big Bang if I had not had a 11,000-word WIP that was complete but for a few scenes when the challenge was launched. BB offered the perfect motivation to finish and post it. “At Bay” was planned from the outset as an exercise in writing something a little darker than my usual knock-about stories of love and happiness. I tried, really I did.

Many thanks to my generous beta

greengerbil and my splendid artist

norfolkdumpling. All errors and infelicities are entirely my own.

Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Cowley, Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 17,000

Summary: Post-Fall Girl, AU. Almost three years after Doyle was imprisoned for killing Willis, Bodie finally sets out to find out why.

Notes: This is a direct sequel to Kitty Fisher's The Pillory. With many thanks to Kitty Fisher for allowing me to play with her fantastic story. While it would probably be a good idea to read The Pillory first, I have it on good authority this can be read as a stand-alone fic.

With thanks to Anja for the fantastic cover art, to

jaycat92 for the amazing beta, to

greengerbil for the original idea and to

cuvalwen for being there when I needed her. Also with special thanks to my wonderful friendslist for their pom-pom waving and support.

Also many thanks to

przed and

callisto65 for running the Big Bang Challenge. We've had a lot of fun with this!

Title is from Mika's "Any Other World".

Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 35,011 or thereabouts
Warnings: NC-17 I suppose. Also warnings for flashbacks to childhood sexual abuse and dub-con (not involving partner).

Disclaimer: They’re not mine unfortunately. I just like to borrow them to play with for a while, and I promise to give them back when I’ve finished.

Summary: Doyle goes undercover while haunted by evil memories out of his past. Meanwhile Bodie is having problems of his own. The partnership is under strain and Doyle is under pressure – will they break the case before Doyle snaps, will Bodie be able to provide Doyle with the support he needs?

Notes: Many, many thanks to

ankaree, who has provided the beautiful cover art and the gorgeous, apposite illustrations in the text – bonus, eh?

The first few thousand words of this fic have been sitting on my hard drive for the last... ooh, two years at least, so I am extremely grateful to

przed and

callistosh65 for organising and running the Big Bang, which has finally given me the impetus to finish it!

And thanks too to my wonderful betas

jaycat92 and

lukadreaming who spotted my spolling mistokes, sorted out my grammar, and provided much fixing cement to fill in the huge plot holes that threatened to derail the whole thing. Guys, I owe you!

Archive to Pros Lib: No
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 70,188 words
Warnings: Contains uninhibited M/M sex, during which some furniture gets broken.

Summary: George Cowley knows a marriage made in heaven when he sees one, and he's going to arrange it even if he has to send his young recruits to hell and back. Bodie, closed off and traumatised from his experiences in the SAS, can't believe he's being partnered up with a raw ex-copper. But Ray Doyle is his last chance, and as they fight through their training together and begin their work on the turbulent streets of 1970s London, a fire springs up between them that will either be their partnership's making or its destruction.

Notes: Thank you to JGL for encouraging me to take part in this great project and being my first reader, also to Firlefanzine for the atmospheric artwork.

Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 36,000
Warnings: None needed.

Summary: Bodie hires a mechanic to keep his ship in one piece and gets more than he expected. After a few weeks, the Capri is running better than ever, but it won't do them any good if they're not alive to fly it. (Contains science-fiction and winged-Doyle. Please suspend disbelief before entering.)

Notes: This story started out as a dream: That was weird--Doyle had wings. I gotta write this down, man. It slowly morphed from crack-fic to something with a real plot, but it never would have made it there without help from certain awesome people.

I can't thank

sc_fossil enough for her fantastic art and vid. When I clicked on that vid and heard the opening chord of the music, I was just about delirious with glee. Making a vid for such a crazy AU couldn't have been easy, but she did a fantastic job.

Thanks to

squeeful for cheerleading, hand-holding, and good advice. I'll be your Sherlock any day.

And thank you to the mods of the Pros BB,

przed and

callistosh65. Thanks so much for putting this together for us!
