I really like this, the way you connected the lyrics of the song to Sam's thoughts was really well done.

(brilliant song choice by the way ^_^)

It's an amazing song, isn't it? I've wanted to use it for ages.

Thank you!

Great fic!
I think you did a very good job of describing how distant 2006 is to Sam after having experienced the physicality of 1973.

I really really love this, you've done so much more with this than I could have ever expected from the prompt! Thank you so much for writing this!!

(I'll try for a more coherent comment when the cold meds have worn off...)

I'm so glad you like it.

I think of it as the opposite to Not By Mechanical Aid.

Thanks :)

I think I've mentioned this before, but that is one of my most favourite fic ever, which only makes me love its companion even more!

Thank you again, so much!

Beautiful fic, Loz! I would have loved to see more of post-coma Sam in 2006 and the way he struggled to recover before he made his choice to go back to 1973. The show didn't grant my wishes, but you just did, and I'm really grateful for that. :)

They didn't have the time, because they were too busy concentrating on a well-acted but ludicrous graveyard scene. *sigh*

Thank you!

You can feel the cloud of depression that has enveloped Sam in this. We really did need to see more of his state of mind after he woke up and I don't think the writer's planned the ending very well. I am so glad that we have you to do it for them. This could and should be canon.

Thank you!
