Rules by Trollopfop (NC-17)
.
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt
Length: 1150 words
Author on LJ:

Why this must be read:
I’m always fascinated by stories that attempt a background for Gene, a reason for why he is the way he is and in this story Trollopfop does a great job of exploring the events that might shape, and even perhaps eventually damage, a relationship between Gene and Sam, events that have happened before they even meet.
It also boasts what may be my favourite opening line ever in a piece of fan fiction, featured in this very short excerpt:
There are rules for clandestine buggery. No one ever lists them for you, but you learn them anyway, passed from one copper to another in a silent conspiracy of shame.
