LOM Drabble - Sunshine
Just a quick drive-by posting while I’m round at the library. For some reason I'm only getting the html option, so please excuse any poor formatting.

LOMFic - Samarkand

Title: Samarkand

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: White Cortina

Pairing: Sam/Gene

Word Count:  

Summary: The morning after

A/N: I haven’t had much time for anything except RL for the past few weeks, and that is going to be the case for a while yet, but this suddenly wrote itself for me last night. So I’m just taking ten minutes for myself to get it typed up and posted; I hope you like it. I will be back soon, I hope, as I have lots more stories waiting to be finished and tidied up, including several for Survival. Oh - as ever, Gene was in charge and he came out with something very strange, which I offer freely to anyone who wants to raise the bunny. I blame [info]draycevixen - you’ll see why.

LOMFic - Secrets

 

 

Title:    Secrets

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: Green Cortina for foreplay

Pairings: Sam/Gene

Word Count:  2,067

Summary: Sam has secrets. Set after 2.08 (no spoilers)

A/N: I’ve had the first half of this in a notebook for some time, but I couldn’t figure out where to go with it until yesterday. One of the things that surprises me occasionally in discussion about Sam’s decision, is the fact that some people feel he shouldn’t have done it because of the effect on his mother. Now, as a mother myself - although not necessarily an especially good one - I have quite strong views on that. And as it turns out, so does Gene. This is possibly the first time ever that I have set out to convey a particular message through a fic, so I hope it works and isn’t too clumsy!

LOMFic - Thoughts - Gene/Sam

Title: Thoughts

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: Green Cortina for suggested sex

Word Count:  100

Summary: Gene knew how he wanted it to be, their first time.

A/N: Hmm. Bit weird, not at all sure it works. I think it was when I started writing drabbles that my writing started to go downhill. Some people use the form brilliantly, but for me it just seems to function as a lazy substitute for having the time and application to develop an idea and write it properly.

Later - a Green Day fic (warning - RPS)

Title: Later

Author: DorsetGirl
Rating: PG-13 for language and implied sexual relations

Pairing: Mike / Billie Joe
Disclaimer: I don't own Green Day. They are real people and this work is based on their public personalities. I make no claim to know what they’re really like and mean no offence to anybody.

Word Count: 416

Notes: Also posted at Coming Clean. This is Real Person stuff - if that squicks you, don't click. This is the first time I've written an American, so it may need whatever is the opposite of Brit-picking. Comments and friendly concrit welcome! (I've since written a Life on Mars crossover drabble, imagining that Sam Tyler was in the audience for this concert).

LOMFic - On The Road To Freedom

 

Title: On The Road to Freedom

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: White Cortina

Pairing: Sam/Gene

Word Count:  1,510

Summary: Gene learns that taking Sam home isn’t going to be as easy as he had hoped.

A/N: Part of the Survival series. The piece that I finished Wine and Candles for is still not playing ball, so I wrote this instead. This chapter takes place on the morning Sam finally gets out of hospital, in other words a few hours before Not Just a Cry for Help. Not beta'd, so do shout if you have any comments or concrit.

Second Attempt at FlashSlash

This is my second attempt at Flashslash (a story written from scratch in eight minutes) – still without a prompt. This time I had the first line waiting, which didn’t seem to make that much difference in the end.

First Attempt at FlashSlash

 

Late last night, I discovered the[info]flashslash community, courtesy of[info]halotolerant. I’ve spent far too much time lately editing stories that have been too long in the making, so I thought I’d give it a go. I haven’t posted the results at that community, because I didn’t feel like following prompts, and having read Halo’s awesome Hazel/Bigwig offering it was obvious I couldn’t begin to compete.

I did write this in exactly eight minutes, though, adding only the quote marks after the time was up. It’s unpolished, to say the least - I’ve definitely written better in less time when the muse was on form - but I thought I’d post anyway and to hell with it.

Flashslash First Attempt – Sam/Gene, obviously. Rating PG )

LOMFic - Wine and Candles Part 6
.

Title: Wine and Candles (6/6 – Complete at last!)

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: Brown Cortina for sexing

Word Count: 1223

Pairing: Sam/Gene

Spoilers: None.

Summary: Dessert. And about time too.

Author’s Note: I’m not sure if this is the dessert people asked for way back when Wine and Candles was first posted, but it’s the way the boys wanted things done. And Gene is still  talking and thinking even as he finally makes with the sexy. It’s too important for him to just relax and enjoy it.

 

Previously in this universe: Moving On; Wine and Candles: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5. I don’t do plot, so it’s not necessary to read previous chapters to get this. But it will add depth to what’s happening if you do.

 

I’ll be honest and admit this could probably do with a little more polishing, but I’m going on holiday on Saturday and I want it out of my WIP folder by then; it’s been hanging around far too long and I want to get back to Survival. Assuming anyone’s feeling kind enough to comment, I’ll probably see the comments before I go, but I probably won’t be replying until I come back. If anyone’s going to the London meetup on Saturday 18th October – see you there I hope! (PM Wibble at TRA if you’re interested – I think there are a few spaces left).

LOMFic - Best Ever

Title: Best Ever

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: White Cortina

Word Count: 283

Pairing: Sam/Gene

Spoilers: None.

Summary: It’s not just the past that’s a different country. The future’s pretty weird, too.

Author’s Note: I wrote most of this some time ago, but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Then in a comment last week, walkerbaby unknowingly provided a great ending. Just a silly bit of fun.

LOMFic - Wine and Candles Part 5 (of 6)
.

Title:
Wine and Candles (Part 5 of 6)
Author: DorsetGirl
Fandom: Life on Mars
Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.
Rating: This part Green Cortina; part 6 Brown Cortina
Word Count: 1,258
Pairing: Sam/Gene
Spoilers: None.
Summary: Gene’s made his vows and now he wants to get down to business. But guess what, Sam wants to talk a bit more first.
Author’s Note: A long time ago - way back at the beginning of February – I posted parts 1-4 of a series called Wine and Candles, in which Gene cooked Sam dinner and promised to look after him from then on if Sam would accept him. There were calls for dessert in the comments, but Gene simply wouldn’t behave himself and get on with the action, and so things were left slightly in limbo.
 
However, in May I realised that my Survival series fits beautifully into this universe: I was interested by the idea that events in that series which have been described by various commenters as harrowing, horrific and heartbreaking might happen to a pair who start their life together in circumstances which have been described at best as sweet. It happens in real life, of course, but maybe not so much in fic. Parts 5 and 6 of Wine and Candles were actually written at that time: I felt I needed to complete the beginning of their story before posting Keep Taking the Tablets and Not Just a Cry For Help, but I didn’t want to take the time away from Survival to get them ready for posting. I’m finally doing that now because I’m having difficulty with a part of Survival that references this back-story, and I’m hoping this will get things moving again.
 
Finally, I have to say that Gene has fought me every inch of the way through this series. I can only apologise for the serious OOC-ness, but to be honest I rather like the way he wrote himself in this story, and it does work very well at setting up the kind of uncompromising and steadfast commitment he’s going to need to get himself and Sam through Survival.
 
Previously in this universe: Moving On; Wine and Candles: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4.
As ever, it’s not necessary to read previous chapters to get what’s happening here, but it will add depth if you do.

LoMFic - No Regrets

Title:    No Regrets

Author: DorsetGirl

Fandom: Life on Mars

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: White Cortina

Warning: Implied character death

Word Count: 360

Pairing: Sam/Gene

Spoilers: 1.01 and 2.08

Summary: Never parted.

Author’s Note: I normally write Gene and Sam happy ever after. Whether you think this fits with that depends on your definition of “ever after”.  When this idea first hit me, I refused to write it, and ended up watching it instead, in extraordinary detail, crying my eyes out. In the end I decided to write down just the sparse framework without all the details, because it seems to work.

 

Doctor Jess Carling GP, daughter of Ray,  belongs to Elfbert and she has kindly given me permission to use the character. Thanks to Jayb111 for the beta.

Author: DorsetGirl

Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating: Brown Cortina for language and implied m/m sex

Word Count: 230

Pairing: Sam/Gene

Summary: There must have been a Sunday morning like this.

Author’s Note: Just a silly little bit of dialogue. Not beta’ed.

LoMFic - Jagged Bleeding Edges
 

Title:                Jagged Bleeding Edges

Author:             DorsetGirl

Fandom:          Life on Mars

Disclaimer:      I don’t own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I’m not making any money out of this.

Rating:             Brown Cortina for m/m sex.

Word Count:   2,450

Pairing:            Sam/Gene

Spoiler:            None

Summary:       What can you do when the worst wounds are on the inside?

Author’s Note: I started this fic in the background way back in October, and it seems to have completed itself without fuss over the past week or so; I only wish the others would do the same. The talky bits were inspired by Loz’s Aggressive Male Affection and Halotolerant’s Make Do And Mend. I put in the action bits because Totallywow said I hadn’t written any sex for too long, so I hope they’ll do for you, honey. Not beta’ed, sorry, because I’m impatient today, so comments and concrit welcomed.
