Looking for 2 stories .... with very little details provided

[starlite876.livejournal.com]

I’m searching for two stories, but unfortunately I do not remember any useful details (like the plot)!

The first story is possibly AU or pre-partnership in CI5. The only detail I can recall is that Bodie calling Doyle “sunshine”, and Doyle responded by telling Bodie that that is in fact his name (ie Ray).

The second story is a possibly an h/c story. 

Bodie is injured during a case. He may have bruised or cracked ribs or suffered a broken leg (I told you the details were vague!). There is a misunderstanding or argument with Doyle, and they don’t speak for a couple of days.

The ending of the story is Bodie going over to Doyle’s apartment to wait for him. Bodie is sitting in the dark on the settee and Doyle’s comes back to the appartment after a bad day at work. Because of Bodie’s injuries he is unable to get up or move, and Doyle has to go over to the settee to help him, and they resolved their misunderstanding / argument.

I’m pretty sure both stories were not written from the first person point of view.

Anyone with ideas based on such vague details? Much appreciated …

The first one might be Learning Trust (http://hatstand.slashcity.net/russ/learning.html) by Russ. There's definitely a line in there about "Ray" and "Sunshine.

Thanks draycevixen, that's the story.

I think that was the first story that I've read that makes the reference between "sunshine" with "a ray of sunshine" and Ray Doyle, and that phase stuck with me. Pity I didn't remember anything else (like the plot)!

Time to re-read the story I think. Thanks again.

Hey, I think the second story could be The Russian Reversal by draycevixen: http://community.livejournal.com/teaandswissroll/29476.html.

There is definitely a scene with Bodie on the sofa as you describe although there may be other stories with something similar as well. Hope this helps.

Hi saintvic, thank you !

That's the story I was looking for. draycevixen was too polite to let me know I was looking for her story when she helped me out with the first one !

And my recollections were worse than I thought. The settee scene was at the beginning of the story, not at the end!

Thanks again for everyone's help !

If the first one involves poetry, it might be Contrary Virtue (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/18/contraryvirtue.html).

I haven't read this one before squeeful, thanks for recommending it. I will definitely check it out later tonight.

Thanks!
