Items marked *** are new since the last update
At present, most of the links go to comms rather than my journal, because that’s where the comments are and because not everything is here in my journal yet. (If you’d like to add to the comments, I would be delighted!) At some point I will make sure my journal is fully up to date and switch the links over.
All the Life on Mars fics listed below are Sam/Gene unless otherwise stated. Ratings range from White Cortina to Brown, ie from innocent to sexually explicit and occasionally graphic. Many contain swearing. Again, if any of this bothers you, please don’t read. There is no gore, torture or non-con here, although I suppose parts of Survival could be termed fairly bleak.
My one big gen / plot piece - 29,000 words

WINE AND SURVIVAL UNIVERSE
In this universe, Gene and Sam get together in Wine & Candles; Moving On is a prequel to that story.
(a) Wine and Candles Series
Moving On
Wine and Candles: Dinner; Offer; Starting; Commitment; Intelligence and Grit; Dessert
First Anniversary
(b) Survival Series
Events in the Survival series begin a few weeks after First Anniversary.
Warning: Not the Dark contains descriptions of brutality; the rest of the series deals with the physical and emotional consequences of that brutality and its effects on Gene and Sam and their relationship. (The ending isn’t written yet, but I guarantee it is happy!)
In this series, Sam was kidnapped and held for several weeks, and the series covers various points during the long course of his ordeal and recovery. The series is being written out of sequence, as and when I get inspiration for a chapter.
After I had posted about nine stories in the series, Dakfinv wrote an extremely angsty tale called Not the Dark, which described Sam being captured and tortured; it seemed tailor-made to be part of the universe. Dak agreed to her story becoming part of Survival, and it now forms the opening chapter of the series.
I have stories in my WIP folder covering later events, notably Sam’s return to work and the trial of his kidnappers. Stories currently posted (in chronological order) are:
Body & Soul / Nightmare / Another Day / Watching / Hope / In The Eye Of The Beholder / Breaking Through / Still With Us / On The Road to Freedom / Not Just a Cry For Help (Red Cortina for attempted suicide) / Keep Taking the Tablets / Breaking Glass / Useless / Out to Lunch / Still Want You / Fighting to Survive / Into the Dark / Talk to Me
SIGNALS UNIVERSE
What Do Girls Do? Sam knows what he wants, but being Sam, he can’t do anything without thinking about it.
Signals Part 1a; Signals Part1b: Sam and Gene have different views of their roles in the relationship
(Liquorishflame wrote a brilliant remix of What Do Girls Do? called What Do Poofs Do?)
