and another one...

a bit vague now, but anyone know which FF has Doyle with a cosy, cluttered flat full of photos and stuff, a really messed up past and a dead brother? Bodie is trying to get to the bottom of his past....?? Have read so many in the interim that my brain has capsized, but would love to re-read.....xx

Bah, I am trying to track this and can't get it to work, so I shall just note that this sounds fascinating, and when you find it, I would love to know too!

That 'can't stop to make notes, must read moar, now' phase is great fun, isn't it? (Warning: it can go on for a very long time :))

[giseerouchon.livejournal.com]

never can be arsed to make notes, and always wish I had after.....*sigh* xx

I'm sorry, I don't know, but I would love to read it when you find out what it is - please post and let us know!

Think it's prob the 'getting to know you' series... will re-read asap, but I know I read and enjoyed them a while back.... The problem I have, it that all these alternate, but equally plausible back-stories for the lads get mixed up into one giant, sticky, Pros mess in my poor head! :-S
Have you read these? xx

[murphybabe]

Yes - these are lovely, and I will re-read again and again!

Could this be "Getting to know you" by Ailcia?
The story (a series of 4 parts) was recently mentioned in the comments to a post.
Unfortunately, I can't remember which post it was, but the stories were posted on LJ.

Oh, that was me! Shall find the comment - it was to one of the zine posts in DIALJ.

ETA: ...specifically, this comment (http://discoveredinalj.livejournal.com/270407.html?thread=6727239#t6727239).

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure you are correct!! Thanks so much... both you and this Comm are absolute gems!
BTW, anyone know an *easy* way of getting stories to Kindle from places other than AO3? Seem to be doing it a fiddly way.....:-/ xx

I haven't had time to see whether these are the stories with the cluttered flat and a Doyle brother (why does Doyle have a sister so often in stories, and rarely a brother?), but here are the links to them:

Getting to know all about you (http://the-safehouse.livejournal.com/322807.html)

Getting to hope you like me too (http://the-safehouse.livejournal.com/364911.html)

I think you're probably entirely correct... thanks! I can never remember my Pros arse from my Pros ear half the time.... this Comm is a lifeline....:-D

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

Is it the one where Doyle is a psychic and Bodie ends up having to investigate him? I'm not sure how cluttered things are, but it's got the other two elements.

(Actually, I don't think this is is, but I figured I'd try...)

[giseerouchon.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, but sounds like a must-read! Thanks for the tip off....;-) xx
