The Reading Room - late but here now

As promised, now I'm back home with reliable internet, my recc for:

"Emmanuel" by foxcat74

http://community.livejournal.com/discoveredinalj/138870.html#cutid1.

This is a short but very eloquent study on the fate of the war veteran back in civilian life, and what might have been for Bodie. It is a reminder of how society often neglects these men, and gives Doyle an opportunity to be thoroughly decent and principled. I ought toapologise to foxcat74 for reading her 6th January fic, which she posted in a Christmas fic challenge, as relating to Remembrance day. Can I say it works for both?
