Reading Pros Fic Bingo Challenge - Curtain fic

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

So, what do we have here? We have a living room, a bedroom and there are credits to the bathroom and the kitchen. No case, nothing outside the house. That's what I would call a curtain fic.

The story is Of Photos, Frames and Fur by LilyK and it made me really laugh. I like the way Bodie tries to discover why Doyle has a photo of Cowley in a silver frame. And we learn about one of Bodie's secrets and of Doyle's past with Cowley.

Lol - I haven't read this one, but a curtain fic is a story where someone is setting up house, or redecorating in some way - they're "choosing curtains" and the like! I think it's also been expanded to fit the characters being busy with ordinary domestic chores (like cleaning a fridge, perhaps). So as long as the lads are doing domestic things, rather than the story simply being set inside a house, then it will fit. But if they're not doing those things - then sorry... *g*

Okay, that's not really what they do here I must admit. They have to dispatch a mouse and have to use the dust bin for it, but no, it doesn't fit. Should I delete the entry and search again?

Maybe this story fits another category? Oh! "Featuring an animal"?!! Does it "feature" the animal (is it a fair part of the story)? Then you could just edit the category instead! *g*

Hmmm, all in all, it's only a short sequence with the mouse. But when I tell you more you'll know the funny part of the story and that would be a sort of spoiler, wouldn't it?

Lol - definitely a spoiler! I'll finish work (nearly done!) and get dinner cooking and then have a read and let you know. *g*

I'll change it and use this one. I think it fits better. https://archiveofourown.org/works/3186614 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/3186614)

That's a great moment!
