Fic: Lads corrupted?

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

I mentioned this hypothetical plot to scherwood and she cleverly suggested I ask here.

Is there a fic with a plot like this?:

A Baddy makes an offer to Bodie or Doyle to do something corrupt (think 'Rogue' or 'Kickback') in return for a huge pay-off, enough to secure their future post-CI5, enable them to retire early, live together happily ever after...

After wrestling with temptation, he/they do the right thing in the end (of course - lads are incorruptible!).

I really would wish someone would write such a fic with a 'bad' Doyle!
Lol - but if you're talking about Doyle being corrupt, it would be totally against canon-Doyle, and so out of character! We know from canon that he fought against police corruption, and in NtK Cowley rolls his eyes at him when he says "It's not a bribe, Doyle!" as if he thinks Doyle will refuse the glass of scotch offered to him when Cowley's under suspicion! It would be pretty difficult to write a believable story where Doyle went along with something like bribery or corruption.

If it makes you feel better though, there's lots of "bad Doyle" stories - he's just not bad corruption-wise! There's one where he rapes a girl (to him it isn't rape), and there's Velvet Underground, and depending on your definition of "bad" he's given a bad guy role in various Sebastian and Kate Maclean stories... *g*
