Baby, Set My Soul on Fire by hackthis (PG)

[talkingtothesky]

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt
Length: 1,500 words
Author on LJ: hackthis
Author Website: the author's memories
Why this must be read: This is a hopeful, realistic look at Sam after his decision in the final episode. It will make you smile in a very quiet, understated way. It also has perfect banter and character voices.

Sam doesn't care when he puts on a few pounds and isn't always the fastest down the corridor when they're kicking the ball about. He doesn't flinch so much every time the Guv works his magic on suspects either. Some of the time Sam wishes he were the one doing the work, but everyone has their place in the food chain, and if his place is keeping Gene in line, well, it could be a lot worse.

Thank you for reccing this! I've read everything since I became active in the fandom, and LOTS of earlier fic by certain people, but there's still tons of stuff I missed... and what a special surprise to find lovely insight.
