byslantedlightI love that Pros Alphafic Bingo is popping up all over my flist pages - yeay everyone! *g* I've actually read two fics so far this year, but I've only just sort of got a chance to post this now, because - well, you know, as usual, work... And I'm also inspired by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

E - The Eyes of a Child - This was my second Prosfic read this year, again by Song, the same author as Just a Neighbour below (so also to be found in the Prosfanfic IO group files). It's a Doyle-centric case fic, and again gen of course, but the author seemed pretty trustworthy in TEoaC as far as that went, so I gave this one a go too. And if anything, there's almost a bit too much Bodie-looking-after-Doyle! I know, I know - can you have too much of that?! *g* Like Just a Neighbour it involves a child, which had me looking at it sideways slightly, but it settled into a decent story rather than an I-wish-the-lads-had-kids-because-I-want-them, and in fact it doesn't pull any punches in that respect - bad things happen to children, and children do bad things, if they're not looked after properly. I felt like the author was riffing off MMoMH to some extent, in the way that we see Doyle thinking and caring about what happens to people. My only slight gripe would be that there's a bit of the cockney-sparrow or something about the way both lads speak sometimes, that we really don't hear from them in the eps. But it wasn't so bad that I couldn't just roll my eyes a bit and carry on reading, because everything else fit well. So I enjoyed this one too! *g*

J - Just a Neighbour by Song - My first Prosfic read this year was an unusual one for me, because it was officially a gen story. What kept me reading though was that it felt very true to the eps, and since I see the eps as entirely and eternally slashing our Bodie and Doyle, I could read the story that way as well. *g* It's over in the ProsFanFic IO group files (so you'll have to go over there to find it if you're a member, although she may well post her fic elsewhere too), but a currently-active writer, and I enjoyed it. Doyle goes home after a difficult operation, only to find more chaos and people needing his help when he gets there, rather than the rest he really needs. Bodie's in the story too, but it's Doyle-centric, which feels like something of a change these days, and it's also just slightly different in its focus - entering the realms of what the lads do when they're off-duty, and what's important to them. This comes nicely from the background we see for Doyle in the eps I think, so that I found it entirely convincing. And Song seems to have a knack for final lines, too! *g*
