Why this must be read:

There’s some speculation about Gene’s elusive Missus in the Life on Mars fandom. Gene mentions her a few times in canon but we never meet her and are not even told her first name. Some Sam/Gene ‘shippers ignore her existence, several throw in a line or two about her leaving Gene for one person or another but very few stories deal with the canonical fact of Gene’s marriage head-on. That’s exactly what constance_b does in this story and I think she does a beautiful job of explaining it through slash goggles *without* discrediting/ignoring/undervaluing Gene’s marriage. It’s also, perfectly, Sam & Gene.

The story is untitled and was written for martianholiday a couple of years ago although it is not a holiday story.
