This was a great story. Loved how they both had revelations along the way and that they will spend their lifetime together continuing to discover them.
I do think that their lives together will not be boring. *g* I was in the mood for a comfort story. A little bit of conflict and angst, but mostly the two of them working things out between them, and realizing that, yes, they are meant to be together. *g*
Thank you! What a lovely way to end my day - such nice, gentle bedtime reading. Perfect!
Doyle shook his head, surrendering to the bleak acceptance in his soldier. was my favourite line; poor Bodie never seems to think he deserves what he wants - bless.
Oh excellent. I set out to write a comfort story, and that definitely fits with "nice, gentle bedtime reading." *g* Sometimes, I think, we just need these kinds of stories--a little confict, a little worry, but mostly just the two of them doing what they do best: being right for each other. *g*
I agree with you about Bodie. He's an arrogant man in some circumstances, but he does strike me as someone who doesn't believe he deserves, or will get, what he really wants. And, er, we all know what that is! *g*
Oh! Wow! Yeah, that was well worth waiting for. Ray thinking he couldn't mix his old life with his new, then found he could, with Bodie by his side. I'm so glad they left the kerfuffle with the groom's brother to the local Police.
I really loved Ray's speech. He did so well after getting into a panic about it, but then he only had to look at Bodie to know what to say.
This is such a lovely way to start my day. Thank you. *HUGS*
So, you liked it, then? *g* I'm so glad you did! I just really felt like writing a nice, gentle comfort read. There had to be some conflict, some possibility that things might not work out all right...and then everything does work out just exactly as it should. Somehow, for me, the wedding prompt led me to that kind of story.
Doyle's speech, mind you, gave me fits. It had to say what I wanted it to say, and I wanted it to be good...but it couldn't be too polished because of the set-up. Ack. *g* So I'm very glad to hear how well it worked for you.
Thank you! It's the lads, you know--they are so very inspiring. And with this one, well, I just really wanted to write a nice, comfort read. There had to be a little conflict in there to get a story and to make the ending satisfying, but overall, it was just about the lads coming to realize just how much they need and want each other.
I especially like the way Doyle hears Bodie, even when Bodie isn't there. And everything else about the story, too, but that little detail made it for me.
Yeah, see, I think that must happen to them quite often. They go off on their own for whatever reason, and I just bet they hear the other's voice making comments. They are so attuned to one another, and used to having each other around. And then in this particular case, well, Doyle had a lot of reason for Bodie to be intruding into his thoughts. *g*
I'm writing a story where they're separated, so sniping at each other in their thoughts is a bit of comfort. There are small bits of fanon like this that just ring true for me, so I've decided they're canon, cause why not.
