Title: Artwork for A FUTURE TO THIS LIFE by Verlaine
Artist:

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Warnings: None

Summary: With half the galaxy on the verge of civil war, George Cowley of Cyborg Institute 5 sends one of his best operatives, Cyborg R4A5Y, to Murani Station to protect United Earth diplomat Dr. Harbinger. But not even Cowley is aware of the full extent of the intrigue aboard the space station. Who is the real target of the elusive assassin Ramos? What role is being played by the sinister Ambassador Rahad?

When R4A5Y discovers that Rahad is holding another cyborg captive, he resolves to rescue him, no matter what Cowley's orders are. But W3A7P is a different kind of cyborg altogether, and his determination to stop Rahad may force R4A5Y to choose between his mission and his future.

Notes: HUGE kudos to my fabulous writer, Verlaine, for her AMAZING story. I've had the most wonderful time making artwork for it and simply couldn't stop. The more story she gave me to read, the more art I was inspired to make. The whole working-together thing was brilliant! Verlaine, I LOVE YOUR STORY SOO MUCH!!! :-)

HUGE thanks also to the BB mods who've made the 2015 PROS BB such a HUMUNGOUS success, and to the other cheerleaders who've been so supportive during the creative process. Well done, you lot!!! :-)

Title: The god of beginnings and endings
Author:

Artist:

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 40,757
Warnings (highlight to read): Semi-dub-con, violence

Summary: War is hell; but hell is what Raymond Doyle is familiar with. He has had a lifetime full of hells, from being disowned and driven away by his father, to growing up alone and isolated in reformatories and state institutions. He developed a tough skin to keep the world at bay, and uses that toughness to protect the one thing – an innate artistic creativity - that belongs to him.

As the winds of war, then occupation, sweep across the land, his gift eventually leads him to a resistance group looking for a target to make an example of. The occupying forces are too well guarded, but there are other targets to make an example of. The target they zero in on: the mercenary, collaborator, and traitor known as William Bodie.

And thus starts the role of a lifetime.

Notes: A few years back, I read a wonderful story, Rule Britannia, by

fajrdrako. When I first read it, it reminded me of Ang Lee’s 2007 movie, Lust, Caution. Although in the end it didn’t go in that direction – though I really enjoyed the story, reread it periodically, and recommend it highly – I still wondered how a Pros story inspired by Lust, Caution would turn out.

And ‘inspired’ it is: several main points in the film have been changed, so it’s not truly a straight redo. Here’s hoping that you like it.

I’d also like to thank several people:

Betae Extraordinaire, solosundance and anna060957
My wonderfully patient artist, krisserci5
moonlightmead, for several discussions that put some bugs in my ear *hugs*
minori_k for mentioning Anthony Andrews as Bodie #1!
byslantedlight for letting me borrow the concept of a bespoke gun (because really, never had heard of that before)
and of course, the mods of ci5_boxoftricks for being crazy and fun enough to do this every year.

The story follows a (very) loose modern-day Norman Conquest, so there are a number of character and place names taken from the Anglo-Saxon / Old English. For those scratching their heads about it, a list of the locations are given in the notes for the story.

Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy.

Title: The Sun Will Still Rise in the East
Artist: giseerouchon
Author: agent_talis
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes please!
Genre: Gen/Pre-slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie&Doyle
Summary: 15th September 1984 starts like any other day – until Bodie walks in on Doyle attempting to commit suicide. Horrified by his partner’s blatant death wish, Bodie is forced to report it – leading to Doyle’s incarceration in Repton; a mental institution for burned-out agents. Haunted by his memories and what he sees as Bodie’s betrayal, Doyle’s condition rapidly deteriorates and he refuses food and treatment, withdrawing all contact with his friends. As a last ditch attempt at reaching him, a nurse arranges for a final meeting between the pair. Locked inside together in that room the two men learn more about each other than they ever thought they would know, but it still might not be enough.
It’s up to Bodie to convince his friend that there are still things worth living for… before it’s too late.
Word Count: 25'875
Warnings: possible trigger from suicide attempt, mentions of alcohol abuse.
Notes: Thanks so much to giseerouchon for the AMAZING artwork, seriously it's beautiful. This is my first Big Bang story and my first ever post to Livejournal too so... please be gentle. :-)

Title: If I Could Turn Back Time
Author: Judes

Artist: Milomaus

Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 22159
Warnings: None
Summary: Four years after the resumption of their personal relationship, Bodie and Doyle are living happily together. But the past has a way of coming back to haunt you. And when its tentacles reach out to ensnare those they hold most dear, they find themselves on the verge of losing everything.

Notes: After reading "Leaving Scars", the lovely Sandra asked "What happens next?" so I decided to write a 'curtain' fic. As you will find, I didn't succeed. This isn't a tale of cozy domesticity. I just had to have a plot and angst!

I would like to thank Sandra for the original impetus; the Moderators of the 2015 Big Bang for their assistance and support and Milomaus for her artwork, which should be embedded in the story but somehow hasn't survived the copying and pasting exercise. There will be a separate link to her work in the collection listing.

Please note the mods are posting this on behalf of Judes who is currently unable to log on to LJ.

Title: The King Must Die
Author:

murphybabe
Artist: bodiecuddle
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes please
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle, Bodie/OFC, Doyle/OFC
Word count: 22,044
Warnings: Explicit. Some kink.

Summary: There's a traitor in CI5. Bodie and Doyle are sent to track him down and, if necessary, terminate him. As they dig into the detail, they realise all may not be quite as it seems. When Cowley's triple-think results in the death of one of Bodie's protégés and Bodie's admission to hospital, Doyle does some thinking of his own and doesn't like the result. On Bodie's release they review all the facts and come to the grim conclusion that they are being used for Cowley's own idea of political expediency. It's decision time for the lads - can they live with what Cowley has done? And if not, what will they choose to do about it?

Notes: Dedicated to

moonlightmead.

Huge thanks to my beta,

cornishcat, who did her very best to make it readable. All the remaining mistakes are mine. Thanks also to my wonderful artist,

bodiecuddle, who has created the most fantastic vid from the little I gave her to work with. Thanks to the mods for another tremendous year, and to all the writers, artists, cheerleaders and readers who make the Pros Big Bang so fabulous.

The occasional quotations are taken from the song for the vid: Elton John's The King Must Die.

Title: Bodie’s Choice
Author:

Artist:

gvenanne
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 27793
Warnings: Rating is Mature - content is explicit and NSFW.

Summary:
All I wanted was to leave my life of crime behind me, and start living an honest, hard-working life which I could be proud of in my dotage. Who’d have thought something theoretically so simple would turn out to be so hard? Between my old gang trying to track me down and permanently silence me, and a certain green-eyed man with a country estate full of its own problems, I was destined not to have the stress-free retirement I longed for. Oh, well, I suppose these things are sent to try us …

Notes:
Many thanks go to Gvenanne whose amazing artwork has brought the story to life. Make sure to check out her post. And thanks also to the mods for another fantastic Big Bang Challenge, and for their understanding when things weren’t going quite so well for me. Finally, Bodie’s Choice was written right to the wire and as a result is unbeta’d: any and all mistakes are 100% mine.

It gave me so many lovely ideas for pictures, and I feel rather bad that RL prevented me from making more of them...

Title: Nobody Knows Me At Home Any More
Author:

Artist:

allegra82
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes :-)
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Word count: 20,879
Warnings: For this story, I’m comfortable with a ‘choose not to warn’ option, but if you'd like to know what you’re likely to find, please check the highlighted warning option.

Warnings (highlight to read): An original character is suffering a nervous breakdown and other characters consider him a suicide risk. Also, there is mention of historic grooming and sexual abuse of a young teenage girl, resulting in pregnancy and adoption of the baby. Some societal/internalised homophobia.

Summary: Set mid-series two, Bodie and Doyle negotiate their work ops as well as a fledgling sexual relationship. Sort of ‘slice of life’, veering between shaving and shotguns.

Notes: Many thanks to my artist, Allegra, my beta, Unbelievable2, and the Box of Tricks mods for making my first Pros Big Bang a very satisfying experience. :-)

Notes: Thank you so much to Mab who wrote a splendid multi-faceted story and as a great teammate made special effort to give me (her own words) something to hang my creative hat on – she did much more than that! Thank you also to her beta Unbelievable2 who kindly agreed to share her thoughts on my work too and was so supportive. And thank you to the mods who made this possible for another year and are always ready to offer help and encouragement. My Pros Big Bang debut was a wonderful experience.

Title: Why I Sojourn Here
Author:

Artist:

sc_fossil
Archive to Pros Lib: Yes, please!
Genre: Slash
Characters/Pairing: Bodie/Doyle, reference to previous Doyle/Others
Word count: ~36,300
Warnings: No Major Warnings Apply (but please see author's note for a content warning if you wish)

Summary: Ray Doyle was a policeman, and a good one, but when his partner died on the beat in 1972, a cloud of scandal and blackmail forced him out of his job and his city. Nearly five years later, now an artist, he lives a rural recluse, alone by choice but often lonely.

Then, one dark night, CI5 agent William Bodie crashes quite literally into his life, bringing a tale of international espionage and intrigue right under Ray’s nose. Bodie is dangerous, chaotic and quite possibly untrustworthy, but Ray finds himself increasingly drawn into the investigation, and toward the man himself. What should Ray believe, and who should he trust? Is the danger even real, and is it even closer to home than he could imagine? And what’s he supposed to do about the way Bodie makes him feel?

Notes: My artist Kat -

sc_fossil - has been wonderfully encouraging, patient and prolific - I love her work and it's been lovely collaborating - thank you! *g* And many thanks to my beta-reader

elfwhistletree, who has once again been so generous with her time ♥

Thank you to the Mods, who are splendid, and hooray for the Pros Big Bang community \o/

Notes: Thanks to Halotolerant for being such a kind and generous writer to work with. I appreciate her kind words at my efforts at "art". Her story instantly conjured up images in my head and I ran with those.

As always, thanks to my fellow BB mods. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to make presenting the Big Bang look easy! Well, maybe not easy but it's sure beautifully presented. *bg*
