Fic search

[mikikat.livejournal.com]

Hi all,
I'm looking for two older fics. I am pretty sure they were at the Circuit Archive but I have had no luck finding them. I'm hoping that somebody out there will recognise them.

1 Features older boys. They have just retired or are in the process of retiring and have bought a house and business near a river. The business repairs motor bikes and motor boats. I remember a housewarming party and walking along the towpath. There may be a slight problem with the neighbours.

2 Bodie has to get in with some of his old mercenary buddies. Doyle follows him even though he was not supposed to be there. Bodie says that Doyle is his. The Mercs say that he has to fight to prove that he belongs to Bodie or all the rest will get to have a turn with him. Doyle fights, goes a bit feral from his own street days and nearly kills the merc chosen to fight him. I think Bodie stops him. Afterwards the rest of the Mercs accept the Doyle belongs to Bodie and won't really look at him although they ask him to look at guns and show off his shooting skill.
EDIT: Goodness that was fast. Thank you so much. The links are in the comments.

Could number 2 be Rules of the Game, by Anne Carr (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/0/rulesof.html)? Everything matches except that Doyle and Bodie turn up together.

If you have the CD, there are a couple by Meg Lewtan along these lines, too: Personal Involvement (in which Doyle does follow Bodie separately, all set in Britain), and Out of the Jungle (AU with no CI5, they meet in a mercenary camp). But they're not online.

I think the first one might be "Labyrinth" by Jane -

The sequel/coda is "Be it ever so humble"

Yes that is the one. Thank you very much. I was at my wits end. I'm trying to find old fics following a computer crash and rebuild.

Thanks

The sequel is the one I wanted. I didn't even know it was a sequel! Still, more yummy reading for a cold winters evening. Thanks again, I really wanted to find this one.

No problem, glad I could help.

Really, it is starlite876 who is responsible for this one - she answered a very similar query of mine in this comm months ago, and suggested it. It wasn't the answer then, but it's nice that it is this time!
