Blakes7/Morgan's Boy
Title: Morgan by Judith Proctor (gen)
Pairing: none
Author on LJ no
Author Website: here
Why this must be read:
Avon wakes in a strange place and, as he soon realises, an earlier time in history, with no memory of how he came there. Nor will he have, until right near the end, and the twist there is so convincing and impressive that I won't do anything to pre-empt it. He is in fact in Wales in 1984 and being befriended by a man called Morgan who looks exactly like Blake. This is for the good reason that though, character-wise, the two aren't actually much alike, both are the actor Gareth Thomas, who, after he'd stopped being Blake, played a Welsh hill farmer in the series Morgan's Boy. It was really rather a bright idea to crossover the two sources, and you don't need to have seen Morgan's Boy to follow what's going on as the anti-social Avon learns to relate to and care for another human being. BTW, Morgan's Boy isn't well known, but wasn't a bad series and is worth seeing if you ever can; it has a powerful central performance from Thomas.
