Home for the Holidays - Discovered in a Christmas Stocking - Day 16

[robeau]

So, I had issues...who doesn't? I loved the prompt and thought it would actually make it easier as it was so perfect for B/D. But then I tried to take a half finished piece and make it work, and it didn't so I ran around freaking out about writers block - Horrors! Anyway I have no idea if it works for anyone else but I've so enjoyed all the

Well done getting it done! *g* Sometimes the easiest prompts turn into the hardest.... I really like this idea of Bodie showing his love for Doyle by sharing his bolt hole with him, and providing him with passports, money, key, etc. In their world, that is love. *g* Not to mention the bike. I love coming home stories as well, so this worked for me for a nice Christmas pressie! Thank you!

Are you far too kind - or perhaps its all that lovely, damp English weather simply agreeing with you! Ta much

and we even managed to miss the Queens’ speech.

You certainly did the necessary research! (Especially the 'glad to be missing it' bit. I think people treated it as more of an event years ago but that feeling wore off.....). And I love the idea of them having a cosy hiding place - a room of their own, if you like.

Very Christmassy! Thanks for this.

So pleased you enjoyed it. I just figured the lads would feel the way about the Queen's speech (no disrespect intended) that I sometime's feel about the US President's State of the Union (especially after being required to watch for almost 20 years)

I really like the bolt hole sharing too -- and I love reading about presents. I always feel cheated when I don't know what they are!

[robeau]

As always, you are far too nice! And I just throught that Bodie, being a man more comfortable with actions rather than words, would see sharing his bolt hole as a sign of his commitment.

I love the comfort Doyle is offering to a hurt Bodie, Bodie wrapping presents months before Christmas, the whole bolt hole sharing thing and last but not least Bodie banging his head on the steering wheel :-)
Thanks!

[robeau]

Ta much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. And the head banging kind of wrote itself given Bodie's thoughts at the time.

A lovely Christmassy fic, and I really like how solid and together the lads are in their relationship here... And a clever use of the prompt for a sneaky Bodie! *g*
Lovely, thank you!

Since you enjoyed it so much, perhaps you would be kind enough to let Father Christmas know that my Christmas ask is captured by your lovely pic...pretty please?
