Genre: Gen
Characters/Pairing: Bodie, Doyle
Word count: 43,485 Warnings: none necessary

Summary: It’s the early days of the partnership. Cowley orders the lads on a clandestine search for some missing official secrets, where MI6 appear to have dropped the ball. But all is not as it seems, and when a routine pick-up goes badly wrong, they find themselves battling a number of adversaries. Working out whether they can trust anyone, even each other, proves a dangerous game.

Notes: This story is part of the wonderful Professionals Big Bang 2014. My thanks are due to the Mods for all their hard work, help and patience.

My beta is the lovely

alobear, and I thank her for her precision, insight and speed in carrying out a marvellous beta job.

The artwork for this story has been created by Gvenanne, and very wonderful it is!

Please, PLEASE make sure you double-click on the pictures embedded in the text as you read through, to make sure you see all the amazing details and perfect construction of Gvenanne's imaginative "file" on this case.

More notes, and more detailed thanks, appear at the end of the story, on account of some spoiler-y background!

Summary: The devil makes work for idle hands. CI5 is, for once, under-employed. Bodie and Doyle put their idle hands to good use – on each other – happily enough, but are otherwise as bored as the other agents. Cowley, fresh from Whitehall confrontations and never keen on seeing under-occupied agents even in settled times, sends not only Bodie and Doyle on a low-risk assignment as a favour to ministers and mandarins, but Anson and Jax with them too. It's far from an onerous assignment, and there's plenty of time for downtime, chat, and catching up with CI5 gossip in the civilised surroundings of a small country house. Even if being on the job means Bodie and Doyle must remember to keep their hands off each other. So far, so cushy. Until the bomb goes off.

As the dust settles, allegations are made. Allegations that are as explosive as the bomb they have already weathered, and allegations that may end their careers equally effectively. And in Cowley's office, it's not clear who has the shorter fuse.

Notes:Thanks as ever go to my betas, who all managed to beta my stories while writing their own. I am in awe. And this time they couldn't keep it at email's length: merentha13 and PFL both heard far too much about this story at Bistocon, and murphybabe put up with it endlessly on the phone and encouraged me along. They did a lot of work and made this story a lot stronger - thank you so so much. My friends list on LJ have cheered me along, and have proved themselves an astonishing fund of knowledge from everything from African geography and history to which stars are where when. Thank you all.

I am utterly delighted by Smirra's artwork: how do you illustrate this, I thought, and she caught it perfectly. Thanks, Smirra!

And thanks to the mods for running it again. Hooray!

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Warnings: Mostly SFW, but you might like to hurry past the second pic... ;-)

Notes: Heartfelt thanks to

murphybabe for writing a gorgeous story that gave me so many ideas for pictures that I couldn't possibly make them all in time, and for being there on the end of an email when needed. Many thanks also to the Mods for helping to keep this fandom alive and thriving after all these years- you all do a fantastic and efficient job.
As a first-time Big Banger I was in a muddle of some kind or another for a lot of the time, but hopefully we have made it through to the other side, and it was definitely an experience that I'd love to repeat next year. Maybe even with a bit less muddling.. ;-)

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes, please
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 30,000
Warnings (highlight to read): There is a scene of apparent dub-con at the start. There are references to alcoholism. Patsy is not underage in the UK.

Summary: Trust. Bodie and Doyle have no problems with trust on the job and in their relationship – until Bodie makes a mistake that results in marriage and his eventual departure from CI5. Without Bodie, Doyle struggles and Cowley arranges his secondment to Scotland Yard to work on a major operation. Quite by chance, Bodie is involved in this operation but, down on his luck and sadly out of condition, he tries to help his former partner and is hurt. Doyle rescues him and takes him away to recover but Bodie leaves again, resulting in Doyle's marriage and eventual resignation. Some years later Bodie tracks Doyle down to make amends. Doyle has renounced his previous life and is living on a smallholding in the wilds of Derbyshire, solitary, ascetic and self-sufficient. Can they get back together? Or is the trust irrevocably broken?

Notes: Thanks to my wonderful artist, GiseeRouchon, who has captured so brilliantly exactly what I was trying to express. Thank you also to my beta, the amazing MoonlightMead, who made this fic infinitely better and indeed, encouraged me to carry on when I would have given up. Thanks also to MinoriK for providing exactly the right things for Shusai to say, and to the Mods for putting so much work in to make the Big Bang happen again, and for everyone who helped and encouraged along the way.

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes, please!
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Doyle/Bodie
Word count: ~ 17,400
Warnings: none

Summary: Unhappy with Bodie’s seeming withdrawal from their relationship and needing time alone, Doyle agrees to a job that has him working with the American CIA and reprising his role as Piet Van Neikerk. Cowley, leaving nothing to chance, secretly sends Bodie in undercover as well. Working separately, each man relives certain moments in their partnership. Triple think and betrayal find both men’s covers blown. Held in a ship’s hold while their captors make arrangements to turn them over to the East Germans, believing they’ve finally used up their luck, each man finally realises what the other means to him.

Notes: Big thanks to

anna060957,

moonlightmead,

minori_k and

ci5mates, for beta-ing, brit-checking, plot reviewing and for asking REALLY??!! - in the nicest way, of course *g*! They all helped keep me from turning in some very wrong directons... Thanks also to

sc_fossil and

msmoat for reading and offering some needed advice.

And of course, thanks to my terrific artist

milomaus for artwork that perfectly illustrates the story. Can’t wait for you all to see her fantastic art. Thanks also to

moth2fic for lovely icons!

And a big THANKS to all the mods for another great job on the Pros Big Bang!!

Notes: Wheeee! This is my third Pros Big Bang, and once again it’s been a delight to take part. A million thanks to my smashing author, longstrt; her story is fabulous, which made my job dead easy *g* Thank you so much for letting me play in your world.

And huge thanks to our wonderful mods. I have no idea whether behind the scenes it’s as serene as it seems, or whether you’re all thrashing each other with bits of damp toast, but from this side of the curtain it’s a pure joy – you make it all run smoothly, with no fuss or drama, and we all get to the right place at the right time. I take my Balaclava off to you… thank you, ladies. ♥

Warnings: It's mostly SFW, but with a little chest warning

Notes: The moment I saw a mention about Jane Austen I couldn't believe my eyes - to work on two favourite fandoms at ones! I wasn't sure I'd be chosen to work with LilyK's fic (I'm not that lucky usually), but thank my lucky stars... It was unbelievably interesting! I had some images in my head - it didn't play out at first, but I had a lot of ideas :) I'm eternally grateful to

sc_fossil for writing this fantastic story and for her patience (my computer broke down in the middle of the work)!
I'm happy to see this fantastic BigBang going strong year after year and to be part of it.

Summary: Doyle meets an MI5 agent who is arrogant, deadly, competent, gorgeous and a bloody nuisance.

Notes: This story is (loosely) based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I had just finished Pride, Prejudice and Zombies when I thought how fun it would be to put Bodie and Doyle into her universe. If zombies work, the lads will work. *beg* No zombies here, I'm afraid. Maybe next time.

I want to thank my editors: Sally Fell, Dawnwind and JoJo. They do such a fantastic job. Any leftover errors are not their fault!

Thanks to banbury for her nice art work. I appreciate her kindness in working with me.

I also want to extend a huge thank you to my fellow mods for this Big Bang: draycevixen, sineala, norfolkdumpling and saintvic. These folks work so hard behind the scenes to make CI5_Box of Tricks run like clockwork. You guys are special. Cheers!

Summary: When tragedy strikes, SAS Sergeant Bodie blames himself entirely. Crushed by guilt, he leaves the army and turns his back on life, until one day a Major Cowley asks for his help. A man called Raymond Doyle has been taken prisoner by the Russians in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan, and Cowley needs him rescued and brought back to the UK. Bodie agrees to go to Afghanistan and try and rescue this idiot who's got himself imprisoned. But when he meets him, it turns out the idiot is not quite what Bodie was expecting. In fact, this Raymond Doyle does some rescuing of his own, in more ways than one.

Notes: This story started life back in 2008. It was about 8k words of skeletal story, which then languished in a WIP Folder on my various laptops over the years. The Big Bang seemed the perfect incentive to build on what I'd already written (well, some of it, anyway!) and try and make a complete story from it.

Huge thanks to

shooting2kill for being such a fantastic beta, to

mella68 for the gorgeous art, and to the Big Bang mods for organising everything so brilliantly and running the show so smoothly!

A big thank you to Marjoram Max and her encouragement - I really enjoyed reading her story and found it to be very inspiring for creating the artwork! I had a third piece planned (you can guess who) but sadly didn't finish in time. So yeah, he'll show up sooner or later.

Summary:
It was one of those prime examples of Murphy’s Law. What can go wrong, will go wrong. And when you work for CI5, when something goes wrong, the shit really hits the fan.

Of course, it didn’t start out that way. This time it started with what was meant to be a simple transporting job. But when has anything ever been simple when you’re dealing with terrorists … and unrequited love?

Notes:
For what is quite a short story, writing this was a hard slog. But I made it just in the nick of time. Many thanks to the mods for another extremely well organised Big Bang Challenge.

And extra special thanks go to:

anna060957 for once again providing expert critique and encouragement (despite broken promises that I wouldn’t leave it to the last minute again this year);

cloudless_9193 and

roven75 for the wonderfully atmospheric artwork that both have created for Storm Force. I was very lucky indeed to be the writer chosen to have two artists.
