Brief summary: "I've got the brains, you've got the looks, let's make lots of money".... Exactly! Bodie & Doyle are friendly neighborhood protection-money-taking criminals, and the story is amazing! There's action and humor and misunderstandings and partnership and everything really.. Wish it was longer :(  There are alot of cool AUs in the fandom, but this one is a special favorite.

Before Bodie realised what was happening, the man was sliding into the seat opposite him, beer in hand, bestowing a chipped tooth grin on the only guy in the place who'd paid him any notice. 'Evening,' the man said. 'Ray Doyle,' he introduced himself.

'Bodie.' He nodded, and took another mouthful of beer.

'Lousy bloody evening,' was the observation. 'You live this end of town?'

'No,' Bodie said, which was the simple heartfelt truth, even though his bedsit was not three blocks away.

'Needn't watch my mouth then! Hunch of fucking idiots around here, mate, let me tell you. Wouldn't know a good thing if it bit them on the balls.'

The impassive mask that Bodie turned to the world faltered for one moment -- he blinked in surprise.

'Their loss,' Doyle assured him, assured himself. 'Mad lot -- offered them a good deal, fair as anyone could ask for. You know what scares them off? Brains. Knew I was going to make it, make it bigger than them, so they backed off. Wouldn't trust me. Going nowhere.'
