Canon? Fanon? What-the-hell-is-going-on? by Fawsley, NC17

Apologies, due to internet connection issues, I'm a little behind reccing this month. This will be rectified in due course. In the meantime, here's my second rec for the month.

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler / Gene Hunt, Ray Carling/ Annie Cartwright / Chris Skelton
Length: 4,475 words
Author on LJ: fawsley
Author Website: Memories on Life in 1973
Why this must be read:

A new fic from fawsley is always a delight and this one is no exception. It's a fantastic bit of meta-fic, nose-bleedingly funny and disturbingly hot in places.

Knowledge of the fandom is recommended, but not completely necessary. Just watch out for those plot bunnies. They can be evil.

'Christ! I so didn't need to witness that...'

'Which brings me back to what I was saying beforehand. We've got to stop this Sam. Before it gets any worse.'

'Worse? It could get worse than Annie being spit-roasted by Chris and Ray?'

'It could go to places your mind can't even begin to imagine. So we've got to get to the root of the problem and stamp it out. For all our sakes.'

'The sake of my poor arse most of all...'

'You with me on this one Tyler or not?'

'I'm with you Guv. But what is the root of the problem? And how on earth do we tackle it? Another attack on the Collator's Den?'

'Nah, Sammy. That's not the root. That bug did a fine job but there were still a lot of files to go when they realised what was happening. And they've got back-ups, anyway. No. It goes a lot deeper than that.'

'So you know what it is? Who it is? Who's behind it all?'

'I have my suspicions, Tyler.'

'You doing to tell me or just make me guess.'

'Not saying anything, too dangerous. Never know who's watching. Just trust me, Sammy, and follow my lead. Now. Let's go get tooled up.'

Canon? Fanon? What-the-hell-is-going-on?

OMG yes, this is possibly one of the best meta!fic in the whole fandom! *adores* Great rec! Although maybe I should re-read it just to make sure. For, you know, scientific accuracy....
