I'm curious. Are there any Bodie/Doyle prison fics? Where they meet in prison? Or one of them is in prison and removed by CI5 for a special assignment? I'm looking for something that leans towards AU, hurt/comfort, or where the location of a prison/psyche itself plays a big role in the story.

Date: 2012-06-13 07:58 pm (UTC)I didn't think of "Waiting to Fall" (which ticks all your requirements above, most definitely), but I did think of HG's Rediscovered in a Graveyard, on the online circuit archive (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/20/rediscoveredin.html) and AO3: Rediscovered in a Graveyard (http://archiveofourown.org/works/317527/chapters/510642) - all 150,000 words.
A crossover with Man from UNCLE: Minerva's Discovered In A Congo Prison Affair (http://jj-minerva.livejournal.com/10618.html) (also on Proslib CD, also on AO3?)
There are inevitably yet others on the paper circuit, but they are very unlikely to show up online: I'm sure I saw one where Doyle is a political prisoner in a prison camp in (presumably) Central America, for example.
On LJ, there's two in an as yet unresolved series by merentha: Inmates (http://teaandswissroll.livejournal.com/494275.html) and Inmates II (http://teaandswissroll.livejournal.com/500865.html).
There's more, I'm sure of it. Shall think.

Date: 2012-06-15 07:45 am (UTC)Thanks for your contributions - you caught several that I missed. Though I can't believe I didn't list Rediscovered in a Graveyard by HG. I love all her work and that is a firm favorite.
And while there are a number of Circuit stories that don't look likely to end up online, don't lose hope. There are strong ongoing efforts to get Circuit stories onto the Proslib CD, and sometimes - not always, but sometimes - that leads authors to OK the posting of the stories online.
Having the hard work of transcribing the often poor type quality Circuit stories into digital format by retyping or scanning already done for Proslib really simplifies the process of getting a story online. And sometimes the work involved in getting a digital copy is what has kept the story offline, not necessarily fear or exposure to a wider audience or privacy concerns.
