Would love to read stories where Bodie wooing Doyle,wine and dine,flowers etc to get D into bed or perhaps to start a proper relationship. If there is any past lover of Doyle in it is also welcome. A jealous Bodie is just delicious. Happy ending needed. I can only come up with 'Doctor on the squad' by Jane.

Thank you

Couldn't be less like Jane, though!

What a brilliant question. I thought I had read a great one, but then I realised that it was the beginning of Kitty Fisher's 'The Chameleon's Dish, and that is not at all what it seems. Happy ending, but not happy middle *at all*.

There must be others. I'm sure there is one about a bet that one can seduce the other, for a start.

Bodie jealous of past lover of Doyle... oh yes, read a few of those, too. Shall think.

There *is* a seduction, in the sense of wining and dining, at the start. But it's a blind, and the story goes on from there, and a lot happens, and if you are not keen on dark fic, then definitely don't read it. I am not sure quite what dark means, but I am pretty confident that Chameleon's Dish qualifies in several different ways.

I have been keeping an eye out since you asked this, and I have found two where Bodie is jealous of past lovers, but both are angsty and neither involve seduction. There's another where at the end Bodie is contemplating how to seduce Doyle, but that's because he has taken him badly for granted and things have gone horribly wrong, so also not what you're looking for!

I think hagsrus's suggestion that it's hard to envisage Doyle receptive to this may have a lot of truth to it.

I have had to think back to remember which these might be! I think I was probably thinking of two which both involve Doyle as the more experienced partner and Bodie as much more the newcomer:

Scenes from the edge (http://hatstandfic.net/viewstory.php?sid=552) by Kate Maclean - Bodie thinks they are in an exclusive relationship and discovers they aren't. There's jealousy on both sides in this one.
Never let me down (http://thisland.ca/professionals/nlmd.html) by Shoshanna - long fic (nearly 60,000 words). Bodie is initially appalled when Doyle makes a pass at him, slowly changes his attitude, and, as things develop, is increasingly curious about Doyle's previous lovers, whom Doyle won't talk about.

Still looking for the bet one! I think it may be a zine story, possibly in one of the Unprofessional Conducts. But since there are twelve of them, that doesn't narrow it down...

I have found the bet story! Indecent Proposal, by Barbara Thomas, in Unprofessional Conduct 6, in which Bodie bets Doyle that he can seduce Doyle into wanting it.

Not online as far as I know: details about the zine here on the Hatstand (http://hatstand.slashcity.net/zineinfo/unpro.html#unpro6).

One of the stories in the just competed Big Bang (http://ci5-boxoftricks.livejournal.com/) might have the elements you're after. Try "Sing My Heart" by judemsk. It's very AU, don't know of that makes a difference.

I think there are so few of these stories in Pros because it's rather difficult for many writers to envision Doyle receptive to that "traditionally courted" role.

You'll probably enjoy The Spell by Fictionwriter, today's story from Proslib

Exceptionally late, but I was just reading a story which might just qualify as "Bodie seduces Doyle". If you look at it sideways, at least. They're in a tight spot, and Bodie starts describing what he's going to do if they get out of it. Which is a seduction. Doyle doesn't initially realise whose...
