All change! My first (*she says hopefully*) story for today is very much a supernatural one! See, Bodie finds this mirror in an antiques shop...

Soul Survivor by Lizzie..

DSC_3008WaveI'm very fond of Lizzie's stories. I like her lads alot, especially her older lads, as in this story. They're settled and living together, and it's just not to be questioned -though they're circumspect about it when asked - and there's a lovely comfortable world-is-alright feeling about that. Bodie's such fun in this story - he's always got half an eye on what he's going to be eating next - and Doyle is so much the light of his life... The trouble is, Bodie buys a mirror, a knock-down bargain at fifty quid, considering it was saved off the Titanic itself... well, either that or the Woolwich Ferry... *g*

It's definitely a supernatural story, but the lads go about it as their usual pragmatic selves, and it's the supernatural interacting with them somehow, rather than the other way around...

Well, not so much spooky this one, but with a definite otherworldly bent...

Well if you didn't pose for it mate, you should have )

And it's a very silly story, the more you read, but somehow it all works (well, maybe not Murphy's ultra-Irish accent, but the rest of it makes up for that bizarre liberty (it's not as if we never hear him speak in the eps!)) and there are some moments that are just giggle-out-loud, so... it's well worth suspending your disbelief in leprechauns and the like for this... *g*

I keep saying I'll post these pics and all, and I got them all ready days ago, so before it slips out of my posting-fingers for good and all... here's What I Did On My Holiday Last Weekend. *g*

Almost caught up - how exciting! It's been hard work reading all this Pros fic, but I've persevered... *g*

Battles Long Ago... by Rhiannon..


How exciting to find that this story of Rhiannon's is now online (thank you [livejournal.com profile] hgdoghouse)! Rhiannon's stories have such atmosphere about them, and I can always picture our lads there, even when the settings are so different from CI5. In this case it is a CI5 story, though, and ghost stories aside, it has a very haunting premise...
