You're Not Supposed to Shower, (PG-13/Blue Cortina)

Hello, my name is [livejournal.com profile] culf and I'll be getting back behind the wheel of the cortina to tow the crack_van for Life on Mars this month.


Fandom:
LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler, Gene Hunt
Length: 1,190
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] amy_wolf
Author Website: Masterlist
Why this must be read:


For fear of spoiling episode 1.04, I will have to be slightly vague in this description.
The fic is a missing scene from Sam's point of view after he's found handcuffed to the bed in 1.04. [livejournal.com profile] amy_wolf deals with the realities of what happened in a way the show didn't, without ever going against canon. It's heartbreaking, but reads very true to both the character and real life. Warnings for non-graphic implication of past canonical non-con.

I shouldn’t shower, Sam thinks, automatically. You’re not supposed to shower after...

He gets as far as “I...” before he catches himself. He’s not going to think like that. It’s nineteen seventy-three. There’s no point in thinking like that.
