 Bodie, please it’s been weeks, I’m getting desperate.
 
 Use your left hand
 
 I’m only ambidextrous with a gun. I can’t get a proper hold.
 
 What about whatshername?
 
 Oh wonderful. ‘We can’t make love ’til my arm’s better but could you take care of my problem in the meantime’. Very romantic that.
 
 But I’ve never done it for someone else, the angle’ll be all wrong.
 
 If we both face the same way and I wrap my legs round – it’ll be like doing it for yourself.
 
 ……….. Oh all right 
 
 Great!
 
 But next time, get someone else to cut your toe nails.

 Doyle is sitting on a low wall outside the lockup, wrapped in one of the tatty grey blankets.
 
 I shouldn’t have done it, should I? he says.
 
 Bodie, upright, hands in pockets, shakes his head.  “No.”
 
 How is he?
 
 Towser’s taking him home. He’s stopped crying but he’s still shaking.
 
 Ah shit! And I can’t even apologise, can I?
 
 No.
 
 Dammit Bodie, he was asking for it. Goading me. ‘Find  your opponent’s weak spot and go for it’, he said. So I did.
 
 Yeah but we were only training, Ray. Did you really have to
 go for his nerve?”

Title: Half a Loaf Each
Category: XMAS
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): The ploy to get B a good Xmas, told from B’s point of view. In order to interrogate B about his xmases (poor but happy till 12, then mum remarried and hell broke loose), D has to tell about his – very bad childhood, unstable fighting family alternating between hugs and blows.  B realizes D is plotting something and starts to have hopes for his secret love for D. On xmas day, they have the dinner, then D tells B about this man who molested him when he was a kid. After the pudding, B is too moved to stop himself, and asks D to bed.  D agrees, but afterwards he thinks it’s just lust, and the friendship was just a ploy to get him (just like the man who molested him after being friendly). B says that he is in love and doesnt want to have D as a concession in exchange for friendship – they are not going to have sex until D wants it.  The following morning, D behaves as if nothing had happened – and B muses that at least there is the friendship, and the hope for more – half a loaf, but of the best bread.

Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): Nick explains that vampires are really aliens. All seems well, but LaCroix is plotting revenge, together with D’s twin brother Stephen. What B did to Nick to “upgrade” him is forbidden, so LaCroix has an excuse to attack B.

LaCroix also kidnaps Natalie, who also gets the virus. Nick and D look for their lovers, helped by Brendon, B’s grandson, who is held slave by LaCroix. There is a fair bit of sex among all the characters, for one reason or another, and some issues left unresolved (for a sequel?) but in the end all ends well.

Entering CI5 stopped D’s gay sexual prowlings until he met B and fell in love. Trying to salvage the relationship, D goes to B to talk. It turns out that D risked both their lives because he was distracted from having caught B in bed with an old friend.

Category: CASE
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): An African conference in London brings back a nemesis from B’s past: general Adoula, who had raped and tortured B when he was his prisoner in Africa.  CI5 is in charge of security, and B asks C not to work on it because he vowed to kill Adoula. C refuses it, thinking it best for B to overcome his past and for C himself to keep an eye on B should he give in to the temptation. D, on hearing the story, gets fiercely protective, and starts falling for B — however, progress in the relationship is hampered by them having to deal with the past. Eventually, not only B renounces his vengeance and overcomes the past traumas, but he even saves Adoula’s life when another former prisoner makes a deranged attempt at his life.  Worries abated, B&D can now make love, work at forgetting the past and planning a future.

Category: H/C:p (HURT/COMFORT: PHYSICAL)
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): B has unrequited love for D — he gets drunk in a disreputable bar and is gang-raped.  Allowing only for minimal care he gets sick and collapses during a Macklin refresher.  Delirious, he reveals to D his ambivalence over sex with men (after the Game in Africa and this rape) but love with D.  D is surprised, because he had also fantasized about sex with B, and now realizes he loves him too. C approves and even encourages D to reciprocate, but warns him to be cautious since B is emotionally very hurt. D of course barges in, guitly and overprotective: besides, since B is not aware that he revealed his feelings to D, and misunderstands D’s attentions, they fight, then have a long talk and eventually all ends well.
