Fic in Cross My Heart 10

Review
This first-time story is told from Doyle’s pov. The lads go for a visit
to Bodie’s ancestral home in the north, where we meet some of Bodie’s
obnoxious relatives. Doyle realizes that he fancies Bodie but doesn’t
think Bodie feels the same way. An incident where Bodie goes missing brings
things to a turning point.
Doyle’s repeated mishaps involving Bodie’s quirky relatives are
amusing. The author’s take on Bodie’s family background seems improbable
to me because there doesn’t seem to be any reason for him to run away
and join the merchant navy at a young age, as canon Bodie did. I can well imagine
that Bodie would be a natural at hang gliding. This is nice, feel-good comfort
fic and I enjoyed the story
