Why this must be read:

We're over halfway through the month and I haven't recced any Sam-whumping. This needs to be rectified.

alone_dreaming  has a unique, fluid style and a seriously amazing grasp on the characters. There's angst, humour and surreality. Plus there is Sam saving the day while fighting off some of his most vivid hallucinations yet. It could so easily be canon.

The first time he’s injured on the job (outside of the bruises when he conflicts with his DCI), Gene doesn’t sit with him like a great, big, weepy Nancy. In fact, he doesn’t even come see him in the hospital and avoids him until he returns for duty a week later, haggard, still drugged up to his gills, but insisting (despite the constant beeping in his ears) that he’s ready to be back on duty.
