Well, the birds woke me up around 3.30am this morning, making me think that it really must be summer time - whereupon I realised that I'm being really really really slow about changing my homepage at the site-under-construction that is Palelyloitering. See, it was supposed to have zine recs to fit with the seasons, just to make it a bit prettier (and to remind me to go and re-read the stories too *g*), and you wouldn't think it would be too hard to find those, but...

So I was wondering - what are your favourite lads-in-the-summer fics..?

Well it's a typical English, summer day here: grey and raining!

Anyway, favourite summer themed fic, here's a couple which spring to mind:

"Cider With Bodie" by Lizzie.
A gorgeous AU, as always from this author.
It's set at harvest time though, so I hope that qualifies as summer!

"The Ball was Good" by Sebastian
Very apt this, what with Wimbledon starting on Monday. I'm much more interested in Bodie and Doyle playing tennis though, especially when things turn out the way Sebastian suggests!

"On a Lazy Summer Afternoon..." by LH
With a title like that, it has to be perfect for summertime reading.
Definitely hot stuff!

ooooooh, you've got me there.....I'll have to go and have a thunk about that one. Summer....there has to be an M Fae Glasgow one, surely? Sebastian's got a couple - Perfect Day and Inter Italia......ET, I think I've got the zine. It's all coming back to me.....

The wonderful 'Of Sunshine and Cemetaries' by your own good self.*g* I just adore this tale of the lads in France. You can just *feel* that summer promise from the very beginnning..

Yeah, thought Doyle, breathing in the scent of hot earth and dry grass and suntan oil, all that was left to make it a perfect day was the lazy love. He turned away from the country view, surveyed instead his partner, propped up against the smooth bark of a... an elm, Doyle thought vaguely. Bodie's legs stretched out in front of him, clad for once in blue jeans, his white cotton shirt untucked and loose. The history book he'd been reading had fallen to one side, fingers still holding it lightly, and Bodie's eyes were shut. He managed to look dishevelled and elegant at the same time.

Credit away! And in answer to your question about re-reading my own fics, while I'm writing a story, or have just finished one, I re-read it obsessively. Then stop completely. Then after a while, sometimes a long while, I like to go back, revisit the scene of the crime, and see what I did and how I did it.*g*

Oh without a shadow of a doubt Sebastian's B&D By The Sea - pure gorgeous and you can almost taste and smell the seaside.

And Cider With Bodie by Lizzie.

There are probably lots more, but those are the two I thought of immediately.

You can indeed :-)) Not that they are worth much, but hey... *g*
