Title: Saints and Miracles

Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): B is appointed as head of CI5 and meets Chief Constable Cade (who is really D). Each of them thought the other dead (they were set up by Willis) — B does not recognize D and D decides not to tell him the truth. B has been attracted to D’s lookalikes so he beds Cade even as he is angry at him and himself. Eventually the story comes out: when B had been declared dead, D had left CI5 and met the real Cade; when this one had been killed D had replaced him (letting people think D is really dead) and now cannot revert to his real identity (his daughter, his ideals and work). At first they try D’s way, just being friends, but it won’t work, so they get back together.  There are some rough patches, as D is paranoid and B is over-protective, and they have to work out the pain and resentment of their enforced 14 years of separation: but eventually they manage to work together for the new National Police, to come out to Cade’s daughter and to their employers, and live together happily ever after.

Category: OLD FRIENDS
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): The events in the gay bar from B’s point of view (there are some incongruences with the original Old Friends story). D never recognizes his ex-lovers, and B is the only one to go to the loo, which starts him thinking, together with D’s insuciance in the bar. As D drops B off for the night, B is kidnapped by the two ex-lovers of D’s, who want to show him how good and loving gay sex is, so that he can start thinking of D that way. So they have sex in front of B and then let him go: the seed of interest is planted.

Title: Prequel to Old Friends, A
Category: OLD FRIENDS
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): Significantly different from the rest of the stories in the series, only the gay pub is left. D has to go see an informer there, an informer with whom he has been having casual sex, he tells B. B says it is not prudent to do so, he should have asked him for sex. D answers that he wants more than that from a partner with whom he might fall in love, if only B was less macho (only top, no cuddles) and then storms off. B reflects on what is at stake, and acknowledges that he might or might not  take up on D’s implicit offer: that night in the pub will tell.

Title: Suitable Gravity
Category: SF
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): Set in the future. Protector (policeman) D has been stood up by Anne on their wedding day. As he goes to give away his hoenymoon tickets, he bumps into B, CI5 agent on the run. To help him, they leave for the Martian honeymoon, pretending to be the wedded couple. B is immediately attracted by D and candidly says he will try and get him — D is ambivalent, struggling still with his fiasco with Anne — they progress to sex (initiation of D to gay sex), and D is falling in love: at the same time they have to fight against the people who are after B, and run into many dangers. They eventually make it, even if D is shell-shocked by having had to kill to save B (the future society is very regulated and violence really beyond the pale). Plus, D finds out B was wired to record everything for the CI5 files, and feels betrayed and spied upon.  They get back to Earth and go their separate ways, but D can’t shake his love off, and B reappears, determined to woo D, who on his part is more than ready to be wooed. All is well.

Title: Christmas Snippet3 (Side Snippet)
Category: XMAS
 Cheese was leaning back with Chalk sprawled in a warm heap across his lap.
 
 Any requests? he asked, flicking one of the bells on Chalk’s sleeve gently, making it chime.
 
 Chalk mmrrred, snuggling in comfortably. “How ’bout something off to the sides? See what somebody else might be doing?”
 
 Cheese reached out with one foot and tweaked controls. “Good idea! Glad I thought of it.”
 
 Chalk thumped him. The screen fuzzed, shifted, and cleared:
 
 Macklin? What’re *you* doing here in the middle of the night?
 
 Never you mind, six-two. Get out of my way.
 
 Loitering about the agents’ lockers in the dark, in the wee hours of Christmas Eve? What will the neighbours think?
 
 I said move aside. Unless you’re looking for a little something extra in your bloody stocking next time you’re sent for a refresher.
 
 Consider me moved.
 
 Good. And goodbye.
 
 You wouldn’t be behind those mysterious gifts that always appear in our lockers by Christmas morning, would you?
 
 Bah humbug, Murphy.
 
 Happy Christmas to you too, Brian.

Title: Closing of CI5 Xmas Pressie Season 96
Category: XMAS
 Shhh, Cheese said, enjoying a particularly juicy moment flickering across The Device’s screen.
 
 Chalk peered up from where he was curled under one of Cheese’s arms. “Eh?” 
 
 I said shhh. You keep tapping your foot, and it’s distracting. Cheese ruffled Chalk’s hair gently. “Aren’t you enjoying yourself?” 
 
 Course I am! Chalk insisted. “And I ain’t tappin’ me foot, neither. See?” He wiggled both feet, which were in fact twined cozily with Cheese’s feet. 
 
 Cheese blinked. “Well if it isn’t *you*… and I know it isn’t *me*…” 
 
 Both of them had the same idea at the exact same moment. The inevitable knowledge stole into both elfin brains, making their lucent eyes widen and their pointed ears quiver. They slowly turned, the two of them cuddled in Father Christmas’ lovely grand padded oaken desk chair… and they saw the source of the tapping.
 
 A figure in a sweeping fur-trimmed red cloak stood silhouetted just inside the office doorway. Arms crossed upon his chest, fingers slowly drumming. Tap. Tap. Tap.
 
 One of Cheese’s hands flailed toward The Device, silencing it in the midst of a particularly interesting chorus of moaning and slurping. 
 
 Um, he said.
 
 Er… added Chalk helpfully.
 
 The figure inclined his head slightly, looking down at the pair. They were pinned under his regard, laid bare before this wonderful, terrible being who knew just who was sleeping, who was awake… who was naughty… who was nice.
 
 And Father Christmas spoke. “If you’ve quite finished…?” 
 
 In a sudden blur of motion, two little red-and-green figures were hopping and scrambling and darting down from the chair, across the office, out the door and down the hall. Father Christmas watched them go; his eyes twinkled, and a merry smile tugged at his mouth. At the very last moment, both elves popped their heads back around the hall corner. Cheese gave a saucy wink.
 
 Jingling all the way, sir.

Title: Doyle in the Manger
Category: RELAT (RELATIONSHIP)
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): C in first person talks about B and D.  He retells how he got lucky in pairing them up, and how he was worried about B suffering over his breakup with D.  Then C explains his plan to get them back together – first he gets Murphy to find out D’s reasons:  D is scared that B will suffer if something happens to him, the way it almost did when D was shot – so D tried to distance himself for the best.  Then C tells D that B will be paired up with someone else, so that D’s intentions will be carried out even better.  Thanks to the brick hitting his head just before, D is not lucid enough and falls into the trap, being a dog in the manger – I wont have him (it’s so noble) but neither will anyone else.  So D gets back to B, realizing that his nobility was misguided and all are happy – even though B is convinced that C orchestrated preternaturally the falling brick!

 Our Doyle has hair that is curly
 And eyes that are jadey and pearly
 But authors, take heed,
 He’s a tough lad indeed–
 Please don’t write him as if he’s a girly.
 
 
 Our Bodie, he thinks he’s the best
 Says he’s “tall dark and handsome,” with zest
 But if that is so
 Then what *I* want to know
 Is just WHY he won’t show us his chest!
 
 
 Our Cowley’s a Cow worth his salt
 Looks after his young to a fault
 All his calves carry guns
 And take ten-mile runs
 And drink milk that’s one-hundred-proof malt.
