I wanted to rec this story from a little known/recc'd author, because it's such a beautiful story. It really tugs on the heartstrings and it always makes me cry. The OCs in it are totally believable too.

Basically Doyle is sick and almost in a 'living coma', if you know what I mean; he's able to follow commands but wont do anything of his own accord. Because certain of Doyle's family members believe Bodie is to be blamed, he has been banned from ever visiting Doyle. It's also obvious that Doyle's family do not know that they are lovers. It doesnt stop Bodie from loitering outside in the cold, though.

It's a read for when you are feeling down and unloved, and I cant recommend it enough.

I love this! A really feel-good story of true love beautifully told. It is not soppy in any way though.

Thank you for reminding me of this. :)

Oh, that's really a nice one (say the unromantic - bah). Blessed be Bodie and his insistence and the mother's heart. Can't say I like Alex though, hmpf. But it's a good story indeed, I even managed to swallow the "skinny". And Bodie's state did bring tears to me eyes. Bah, I'm getting old and all mushy...

But, you know, if he'd been ill and not doing a great deal, he would lose weight and be skinny, right? At least he doesnt have 'honey coloured' skin lol

Yeah, I know but it says "always skinny, Ray had lost too much weight". And he's not *grumbles*
