Why this must be read:
For my second recommendation, I will continue with the author that most fans find first when searching for Life on Mars fan-fic. In that way, therefore, the fandom wouldn't be if it is, if it were not for elfin.
Here elfin has speculated on what would happen when/if Sam woke up. Written between the first and the second series (and therefore is AU for series two) it is in turn endearing and bitter. Sam spends so long in 1973 trying desperately to get home that when he gets his wish, he's not sure that it's what he wants any more.
He stopped sometimes to consider the things he'd missed when he was... in the coma.
His iPod, the internet, digital television, fast cars that smelt of pinecones rather than rotting food and stale cigarette smoke. Simple, modern conveniences taken for granted by those who had access to them each and every day. Take those conveniences away, and what's left?
Sports, card games, sharing a pint down the pub. Conversation, however mundane and immature. The old crackle of records and a decent radio station.
Strange, then, as he sat in front of his computer terminal staring at the Google logo all dressed up in holly and animated coloured lights, how little it seemed to mean to him to have it all back.
