THE ETERNAL RETURN

An AU Bodie/Doyle novel by Amber Skye.             

Cover by TACS. 

 

On assignment in Ireland, Bodie spends one night in a bombed-out monastery, where he finds a hidden trove of paintings.  Years later, still haunted by the image of a young man in one of those paintings, he returns in hopes of finding the painting.  Instead, he finds an art dealer named Raymond Doyle, a man very much of this time and place.  And yet Doyle, too, has a connection to that monastery, and to a tale of two lovers from the 15th century.  And the reflections and traces of these lovers may well overshadow what lies in the present...

Warm, romantic and haunting, this novel was inspired by the film "Portrait of Jenny".

NO HOLDS BARRED # 20:

 

A Child's Game By Joana Dey (Halfway down the walk, Patty let go with one final salvo. "It's easy to see which of you's the Bottom!" . . .Doyle stopped, then, when he noticed the warning glint in Bodie's eye as the other man looked back at him...)

GETTING IT by Maiden Wyoming (post Dead Reckoning)  (He woke sometime in the dead of night. Still on the sofa, he noted that all the lights were off. They'd been on when he'd fallen asleep. Someone else was in the flat with him. Moonlight streamed in through a window and illuminated the intruder who sat in the easy chair opposite the sofa. Ray's gay books were stacked on the floor beside him. . . Even in the deceiving moonlight, Bodie looked rough, whisker‑stubbled and rumpled as if he hadn't shaved, changed clothes or even bathed for days.);

SAME TIME NEXT MONTH By Elessar (About ready to give up, get some dinner, and have a go later on in the evening, he was brought up short when a well‑built, dark‑haired man walked in and paused to survey the pub's clientele. Oh yeah, Ray smiled to himself, Fill `er up over here, sunshine. He leaned back, his elbows propped up on the bar, putting his best assets on display, then ran his tongue over his upper lip. Right in the middle of moistening his lip, tall dark and gorgeous met his gaze. They traded smiles and Ray felt an ache of longing in his arse. Night's not going to be wasted after all, he thought as tall dark and butch approached him.); Something About Trust by Meridian (      "I can't believe this!" Ray shouted, his face flushed red with anger.  "How could you do this to me twice?" . . ."Ray?  What are you about?  Do what to you?"  Bewildered and confused, Bodie's mind reeled.  What had he done now?  He really couldn't remember doing anything to annoy Ray, at least not in the last couple of hours. );

Plus NO SUCH THING AS AN EASY OP by Anne Higgins, YOU NEEDED ME by Cassidy Collins and more.

NO HOLDS BARRED # 6: 

 

Includes: TELLING MARGE by Kate Maclean -

            "Could say 'm goin' with a nurse. On shifts." he added optimistically.

            Bodie gave him a disbelieving stare. "You must be joking. You only dumped her last month... Anyway..." he went on, seeing Doyle's mouth open to protest, "...Marge'd chew her up and spit her out. She'd roll over anyone to get at you." And Doyle could hardly deny that.

            He began to chew energetically on his lip, fidgeting in his seat, and then, he just seemed to go still. Bodie watched him warily out of the corner of his eye. Doyle's face had taken on that serene concentrated look that he got sometimes when he was working out a serious plan, and Bodie decided it would be prudent to stay quiet until Ray let him know what he was hatching. Could be a devious little sod at times, Bodie thought distantly. Put nothing past him.

            "Could tell her 'm gay," Doyle said consideringly, and Bodie found he could still be totally astonished by his partner after all. He could think of nothing at all to say.

NO HOLDS BARRED # 4

 

Includes: THE CHAMELEON'S DISH by Kitty Fisher - (Well remembered hands took firm hold, and unable to protest he was bundled into the the car. As vision dimmed Doyle finally became aware that Bodie had drugged him. He looked up at the face hovering so close, and his last conscious thought was to wonder why it had never occurred to him before, that Bodie's eyebrow made him look like the devil.);

FLASH POINT by HG - Doyle stared blindly at the ceiling as he tried to subdue a growing sense of loss for something which had never been his. The worst part was the confusion: not that he had let himself be submerged, but that he had allowed Bodie to walk out on him afterwards. No‑one controls Bodie but Bodie. He goes his own way. It was my mistake to think we had the same destination in mind.);

BODIE'S LETTER by Ellis Ward - (Doyle closed his eyes. Ten years.Images, long repressed but never eradicated, washed over him. Partners, friends, bedmates. They had been everything to each other ten years ago‑‑nine years and eight months ago, to be exact... )

NO HOLDS BARRED # 2

 

Includes: KNEE‑TREMBLER by H.G.- ("You have three days leave.  Make good use of them"  said Cowley as he finally dismissed them. Fierce green eyes seared into him.  "We will,"  said Doyle.  His tone insolent, his raking gaze moved to Bodie, who looked away.);

POST‑STAKEOUT by D.V.S - (Between one breath and the next, as I sprawled over my best mate and tried to keep his hot temper from ruining everything, as I babbled explanations to the men who looked down at us in confusion, my whole universe tilted. God knows what I said. I could hear the clatter of pins falling, balls rumbling towards them, I could hear my heart, and his. All I was really aware of were my hands. I touched him places I shouldn't have, but my hands seemed to have moved on their own.);

A RAINY NIGHT IN SOHO by Kitty Fisher - (Raising both hands, palm forwards, Ray stepped back and shook his head, "Bodie, it's only me..." "Only you." Relaxing a fraction, still brittle with tension, Bodie stood motionless; watching his watcher with eyes turned obsidian by the night. To Doyle he looked more enigmatic than the Sphinx. But then he smiled. "Yeah, it's only you. Might've known; you've got a nasty habit of turning up whenever I least want to see you.");
