Name that fic...please!

I'm looking for a fic - I think it's a Christmas story, so at least it's topical! - and all I can recall of it, (other than I liked it lots and want to re-read, obviously, *g*) is this one scene.

Bodie and Doyle are at outs with each other - or sulking, or something like that - and have to go somewhere together. They have driven (I think Doyle is driving, but I could be wrong) to Bodie's flat as Bodie has to go up to his flat for something, and while he's getting whatever-it-is Doyle waits outside. The story is written from Bodie's POV, and while he's up in his flat doing stuff and Having a Brood, he looks out of the window and sees Doyle helping a young lad to build snowmen on a garden wall (that's why I think it's a Christmas story, BTW - it's all snowy!)

That's it - that's all  can remember!  Has anyone got any ideas?

Christmas Snow by PFL? (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/7/christmassnow.html)

Otherwise known as one of my very favorite stories, EVER.

Sadly not--although thank you for the compliment! *g* There aren't any snowmen in "Christmas Snow", although it does have Bodie looking down from his flat at Doyle.

I hope someone can identify the story greengerbil is describing--it sounds good.

Just to confuse things further... I think I remember something like that but the lads were on a stakeout. Erm...

is this it?

Doyle was out of the car, his jacket collar pulled up around his ears. Two kids were making little snowmen along the front brick wall and Doyle was helping them.

If so, it's from "Saints and Miracles," by Jack Rueben Darcy.

Yes, that's it! Thank you so much! *hugs self in delight*.

Now I've got a nice long story to read and remember...!

Thanks again!

So glad I was able to help. I knew I'd read that bit somewhere, and it was fun to try to track it down.
