Like Gravity by Halotolerant ( NC-17)
Fandom: PROS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: 8,200~

Why this must be read: Because it hits every one of my kinks: 1)Tight Bodie POV. Here we get to see the chink in his armour (Doyle) becoming ‘essential’, whether Bodie knows it or not. 2) Forced flat-sharing ( be still my Curtain Fic heart) thanks to a CI5 cock-up. And 3) Flashbacks to Bodie’s days as a mercenary in Africa. All weaved into an exquisitely observed first-time story.
Sometimes, reeling out of some stake-out at three in the morning, or finishing a siege at ten, Bodie just wanted to clout Ray round the ear, because, fuckssake, you bring right and wrong into all of that, you're going to break.
Or maybe, Ray wouldn't?
Before he'd met Ray, he'd always assumed the man -- this policeman, this law-keeper -- would be weaker than him. And initially he'd seen what he thought was evidence of this -- guilt, health-food, cooking, high-maintenance hair and a tendency to ask birds how they felt.
But if Ray thought what he was doing was right -- never mind when he thought he was wrong and what an arse that was -- then he'd kill in a way Bodie couldn't imagine, because then his strength came from something more than self-preservation.
Bodie had swiftly found Ray fascinating.

The lovely Halo is a medical student and unbelievably busy... but I do a lot of hopeful pokey stick flexing. *g* She did write Ghost in the Machine (http://community.livejournal.com/the_safehouse/509671.html) too.

She's a very good writer. Her work in the LoM fandom is bloody marvellous too.*g*

Halo has only written one other Pros story so far, Ghost in the Machine (http://community.livejournal.com/the_safehouse/509671.html), if you want to read that one too. Yes, I'm trying to coax my utterly lovely mate Halo into writing more Pros stories, so cunning of you to notice! *g*
