Claim: The Professionals ~ Bodie/Doyle
Title: Glass Houses
Author: Miriam Heddy
Prompt: 11: Character Study
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium
Brief summary: In the aftermath of the events in "Klansmen" and Bodie's prejudice towards black people, the story is from Doyle's POW, his views of his partner and of himself. I like my fanfiction to be real, with believable characterizations and events, and this one is as real as it gets. The story has a lot of beautiful moments and the way it all comes together in the end is perfect.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And how many black friends did he have, anyroad?

There was Jax.

But was he a friend? Really?

Facing facts, he had to admit that he could count his friends, of any colour, on the fingers of one hand. How many of the old crowd did he still call on? And after a day with Murph and Anson and the rest, how many would he have a meal with or watch the match with?

Bodie. Just the one. So if he's so bloody racist, why spend every free minute with him? Why not just tell him where to stuff it and be done with him?
