Not By Mechanical Aid by lozenger8 (PG-13)

Hi, I'm [livejournal.com profile] duckyone  and I'll be attempting to steer the Life on Mars van this month.

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: None
Length: 1400 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lozenger8 
Author Website:  Loz's Life on Mars Fanfiction Index
Why this must be read: Loz is the very first author I ever read for Life on Mars and I still think her work should be a prerequisite to anyone who has an interest in reading or writing in the fandom. This is the very first story I ever placed in my memories when I started my LJ account. What I love about it is that it is a completely real story of how the series could have ended. Before you get into AU's or OTP fics, this is a beautifully written, bittersweet story that is so in tune to the "feel" of the show that I think it could be canon.

The dream world is gone and now he can’t dream. He must be exhausted, to have furnished so much detail for so many months. If only he’d followed that yellow brick road. He’d have come to the end eventually. He knows he’s exhausted. It’s in his bones; the familiar ache, the tight yearning.
