A soldier, and afeard by fawsley (PG-13)

Hi, I'm [livejournal.com profile] dakfinv  and I'll be your driver for Life on Mars this month. I am quite the angst and h/c junkie, so most of the fics I'll be reccing will fall into those categories, though I do have at least one humorous fic planned. LoM is full of wonderful writers who can write amazing angst and I'm looking forward to sharing these great fics with you all.

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairings: none
Length: short, approx. 400 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fawsley 
Author Website: fawsley's LoM fics at The Collator's Den
Why this must be read: I can read this fic over and over and over again. And, since it's only about 400 words, a reread never takes me that long. Fawsley manages to pack a true, emotional punch in just a few paragraphs. The way she gets you into Sam's head, feeling his despair, will make your own hands shake. Of course, there is a perfectly characterized Gene Hunt there to help Sam make it through this crisis. And why shouldn't Gene help? He's been throughout it himself before.

The author warns for angst and darkness, and I'll have to agree. But it is beautiful angst and darkness nonetheless.

A soldier, and afeard
