50 Things You May or May Not Know About Gene Hunt by Walkerbaby (R)
*slams the breaks on the Cortina and spins to a stop in front of the crack_van*
Hello! This is Mikey, and I'm running late on starting this up. I've never done much by way of recs, and I'm terribly intimidated, and I hope that everyone really really likes the stories I'm going to recommend. *frets* I was thinking about being clever and doing a "theme month" but, eh, I'm not that clever so I'll be reccing stories that I simply love, because I love them and because we've got some downright fantastic authors in our ranks. Really! We do! For example:
Title: 50 Things You May or May Not Know About Gene Hunt
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS - UK
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt, Gene Hunt/OMC
Length: short
Author on LJ: walkerbaby
Author Website: Her masterlist of fic
Why this must be read:
I love backstory; I write it, I read it, I roll around in it like a cat in yarn. I particularly love it when a writer anchors that story with realism, and balances it with both the joy and angst of a life fully lived. Walkerbaby hit that note perfectly with this list of 50 things, covering the arc of Gene's whole life. Wonderfully executed, heartbreaking (warning: character death, although done "off screen"), and inspiring, this is definitely one of those "this SHOULD be canon!" type of fics. *purrrrs*
