The Advent Drabbles
by Slantedlight

21st December


Doyle stared unseeingly at the advent calendar in the rest room, fingers worrying at his hair, a frown on his face. He'd been so careful, over all the years he'd been so careful, and it wasn't as if he hadn't been drunk with Bodie before, or had sex in the same room as Bodie, or...

Or looked at Bodie.

He closed his eyes, swallowed, opened them and found himself staring at Kate Ross. What would she think of all this? What d'you think's the best way to deal with repressed sexual desire slowly unrepressing itself, Katie?

The longest day indeed.

No, really, is that "Kate Ross"? Huh. And here was one I thought I'd recognize! *g*

Oh, dear, poor lads! The things they (somehow) get themselves into.... *g* Unrepressing. Heh. But under such provocation! *g*

Hee, no - this is Susie, the karate girl from... Everest? Kate Ross was the other day! You have no idea how hard it is to find young pics of almost anyone who appeared in Pros! And it's so much harder to find the blokes too - though it does remind me that there really were alot of women featured, and for as long as the extra male actors, in fact... Looks like they were mostly more successful before and after too!

And yeah... I do like to think of them provoking each other... *g*

Oh! Oh, well--clearly I didn't recognize her from the other day! *g* Not that I'd recognize Susie, either. So, Doyle is staring at earlier advent days--catching up! Gotcha.

He was just staring at the calendar... you can't include too much explanation about exactly where, in just 100 words, unfortunately! For some reason I thought you'd got Kate Ross the other day, though... *g*

Here's to Doyle getting thoroughly unrepressed, in due course! *bg*

Long Shot (I got it after looking at several transcripts!)

I so love it when Doyle greets her with Hiya, kid. So northern! so fraternal!

Yes! I always do confuse those random jokey moments that don't fit in with everything else! (If you want to get me on a quiz, that's the way to go... *g*)

And hee - I didn't think there was much fraternal about Doyle's motives at the time, though I did love how geeky and awkward he was being... *g*

He's just confused, poor love... *g*

Let's hope he doesn't tell her! *g* Thanks.

Hee - it's okay, she's only a photo on the wall... *g*
