Birthday Drabble for londonronnie

[kiwisue]

Hon, I'm very, very sorry this has taken so long. I had an idea (one of my favourite scenes from the last episode) but my muse decided to take a mid-year holiday. She came back the other day *g*. In recompense, I've added a couple of illustrative pics from the episode.

Just look at Bodie's eyes.

	Thanks a bunch, mate. You cut that a bit fine, didn't you?
	I knew he wouldn't do it.

I almost fouled up. You almost died.

I thought he'd lose his bottle like he did at the old lady's. Thought it was safer to wait. He's never killed anyone in cold blood.

Timing's everything, but I should have taken him down sooner. Yeah, bawl me out. I deserve it.

Told you once I was always afraid, remember? Never told you why, never told you the fear I have for you, every damned day. Your blinding courage, all the risks you take.

One day, I'll tell you everything. Just make sure you live that long, OK?

Just give me hope.

Nice one for the rest of us, as well as the birthday recipient! Have you now started a new trend - the illustrated drabble?

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Many thanks. I'm still a fan of the unadorned drabble, 100 words telling a complete story. But I guess there are always creative exceptions *g*!

You raised the bar with this one, and illustrations to boot. Very nice drabble to read on this Sunday morning.

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it (and I hope it was a nice, relaxing Sunday for you).

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Wow, illustrated drabble. I could get used to that, you know? *G*

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Well, I still like the strict, no-frills drabble. But thank you very much - sometimes a picture says what words can't - at least my words *g*

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I like this. You've given us pictures and all. How nice. I hope Bodie tells Doyle soon.

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Who knows? *g* Series ended with that episode. I guess we'll have to make the rest up. Oh, wait....

Thank you, Sue!

Oh, yes - it's all there in Bodie's eyes, isn't it? Perfect pics and a wonderful drabble.

Cheers, mate!

I thought hoped you'd like it. Often the episodes provide the best moments, don't they *sigh*. I'm falling more in love with Bodie by the day - not that I've stopped being a DD, it's just that I'm discovering the little things, the expressions that aren't quite the same as the words, the hidden depths to Bodie. It's a wonderful feeling.

Ooh, nifty idea! And a scene I always have wanted more commentary on. Wonderful. Thank you! (I think londonronnie should have more birthdays!

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

I think we had a short conversation about this scene, ages ago. There are so many possible interpretations, from quite dark – almost as dark as in Thomas' 'Ambush' scenario – to the one (I hope) I've written here, where Bodie is biding his time, but almost leaves it too late. He's made a judgment about Williams, he thinks the man won't shoot, so he doesn't try to take him earlier although he conceivably could have.

And yes, more birthdays for everyone (without the growing older thing, y'know). *g*

Illustrated drabble. Cool. :-) And god, Wild Justice is such a problematic ep in so many ways, it's always good to see something based on it.

And wheeee! Just under three weeks to go til Get/Together. \0/

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Alas, ''Wild Justice' remains to be discovered. The scenes are from 'Spy Probe', with a slight reference to 'Mixed Doubles'. *But now you've made me think... eg*
Mmm... Get_Together. Looking forward to it! And your 5th anniversary drabble rocks! Hope I can say the same thing when my 5th writing anniversary comes up (which will be in June 2010).

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Eep. I might be about to lose my status as a card-carrying Pros fan. Perhaps more episodes might be the answer...*g*

your 5th anniversary drabble rocks!

Thank you kindly. :-)

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

*heh* Your card isn't in jeopardy after the job you did on arysteia last year.What did you do, btw? I want to bottle it.

More episodes = the answer to everything. *g*

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

I did nowt. Arysteia, bless her, discovered the joys of the boys pretty much all by herself.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Doyle's blinding courage and Bodie's reaction to it - perfect! Lovely pics too, so full of heart... well done, and yes - londonronnie should clearly have many more birthdays! *g*

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Doyle's "blinding courage" and Bodie's reaction to it - perfect!

Thank you! I fell in love with those two words, then I had a crisis and tried to remember if anyone had used them in the same way before....
