It's Jus' Magic by Mikes_grrl, NC-17

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler / Chris Skelton
Length: 2,400 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mikes_grrl
Author Website: Mikey at The Collators’ Den
Why this must be read:

What can one say about Mikey? A stalwart of the Life on Mars community, a fantastic writer (her longer stories have already been recced here), both funny and horrific and thought provoking - usually at the same time!

As Mikey herself points out – this is the infamous Witch!Chris story. What else is there to say about this? It's funny as hell, quite hot and endearing at the same time. Gorgeous!

Extract

“Look, Boss, no one’s gone in or out of that ‘ouse for hours. Why we here?” Chris whined.

“To make sure that no one has gone in or out of that house for hours.” Sam said grimly, folding his arms. He hated it, and he was as convinced as Chris was that this was one damn pointless exercise, but what the Guv wanted, the Guv got.

Chris fiddled with the comic book, dropping it twice, and Sam considered how much trouble it would be to strangle the boy and dump his body in the canal. He reconsidered, thinking that Ray might get upset about that, then reconsidered again as he dwelled on the deep, everlasting joy of upsetting Ray.

“Boss?” Chris peered at him.

“Yeah?” Sam blinked, realizing he was staring at Chris.

“Uh, why you, you know, lookin’ at me like that?”

Since the honest reply sounded a bit psychopathic, Sam lied. “Your eyes.”

Is this a crossover with Ace Lightning, or is that tag an error? Also, it looks like the first sentence of your rec got cut off. Thanks!
