Title: Madman Across the Water
Author: severinne
Artist: awabubbles
Rating: Brown Cortina, with some flashes of what might be deemed Red
Word Count: 29,100
Warning/s: Dub-con, mild bondage, mental instability, scenes from within a 1973 insane asylum.
Summary: Gene has his regrets about Tony Crane's fate but would just as soon leave the past where it belongs. Too bad that Sam, hardly knowing the difference between past and future anymore, isn't content to let sleeping madmen lie.
Disclaimer: If Life on Mars were ours, this sort of thing would already be canon.
Cross-posting this monster here now that the official LoM Big Bang is over and done with (I've *almost* recovered, really...). Huge thanks and doubles on the single malt for
draycevixen for helping to draw out the plot bunnies back when I had no clue what to write for this,
chamekke for sharing my misery and cheerleading along for the home stretch, and
awabubbles for choosing to illustrate this twisted bastard and doing so with impeccable style. Also big kudos to
hambelandjemima for her awesome and amazingly patient mod support when it all went a bit pear-shaped.
