Why this must be read: We never learn anything concrete about Gene's wife in canon. We don't know her name. We don't have any real sense of her relationship with Gene. Often, in Life on Mars fan fiction, she doesn't exist --- she ran off a long time ago, or she just isn't mentioned, and when she is, it's with bitterness, or regret.

So it's lovely when someone decides they'll write 'the Missus'. When we get to see her interaction with the Gene we know and love. I really enjoy this insightful study by [livejournal.com profile] chaletian. It says so much in few words.

Have a nice day?" she asks mildly, looking up at her husband, but his eyes are fixed on the shirt in her hands, and there's - yes, there's something that in another man might be termed a blush, rising strong and vivid on his cheeks.
