Ohhhhh dear. Okay so, not only does my version of a "lol i'ma go do exams now" hiatus involve posting, it also apparently involves writing fic. D: WHAT CAN I SAY. I'M WEAK.

Wonderful, wonderful writing. You 'get' Bodie and Doyle just the way I like 'em, with everything going on underneath, all the emotion nuanced out, flicker by lovely flicker. In the first scene I love the little shifts and changes in atmosphere, all leading up to Bodie 'eavesdropping on his best nate's subconscious'. And I like that Doyle never talks about it, and that later Bodie never gets to finish his sentence. It's all just there - and becasue of that, the last moment in the waiting room has such a terrific canon feel to it.

I could pick out many lines and chunks that I loved, but this bit near the beginning is just *them* to the nth degree:

Bodie thought that what’s important after you’ve been lied to is probably the truth, and what the truth was, was that you fashioned these candyfloss, fairytale exteriors and pretended like everything was fine when you went to visit your boss in hospital, but the job chipped away and chipped away at them until you ended up here. Sat up in the middle of the night with the only person who understood, raw and transparent on your couch, suspended in the light from a nearby lamp and laid open for all the world to see by a single look from him. And that, there, that was the truth.

The writer in me had a little jealousy spasm at how PERFECT this is!

So *thank you* for this, and now go pass your exams.*g*. But you just keep watching and scribbling to keep yourself sane, okay??

Oh, this comment made me very happy indeed! Really, you have no idea. ;D

Originally I was going to make the final scenes more overtly slashy, but it just did not work, so I decided to keep it low-key. I'm really ever so glad I did!

Ah, thank you and, yes, I go to revise now. But I shall likely be back, as it really does keep me sane. XD
