Oh my  God, guys, I am so embarrassed about this: I wrote a POEM. I’ve never done one before, and this is so NOT what I sat down to write 30 minutes ago. It’s horribly Hallmark, and like I say, I’m embarrassed. But I figure, if it wanted to be written so much that it hit the paper despite my cringing and going “Oh shit this is such rubbish” – well, here it is. Sorry.

Word Count:   140

Pairing:            Sam/Gene

Spoiler:            None

Summary:       It’s always us.

Author’s Note: Sorry. Really.  I think this must have been inspired by several of the things I’ve read in the past few days, although it's definitely not anyone else's fault. Certainly what I sat down to write was a sort of follow up to trollopfop’s amazing Rules

Rating:             White Cortina

Word Count:   350

Pairing:            Sam/Gene

Spoiler:            Major spoiler for 1.01 and 2.08   And it probably won’t make sense if you haven’t seen those episodes.

Summary:       Sam wonders what will happen when that day comes around again.

Author’s Note: Inspired by new member xaritomene’s untitled story, because I too have always wondered what would happen when Gene and Sam got to "that day". Not beta’d; comments and concrit welcomed.

Rating: White Cortina

Pairing: Gene/Sam

Word Count: 230

Summary: It’s so hard, when you can’t do anything.

A/N: I wrote this a few days ago, and had decided to type it up and post it this evening anyway. But in a strange sort of way it seems to go with Smiley_Nat’s beautiful story "Home is Where the Coat is". Not beta’d.

Disclaimer:      The story is mine, the characters sadly are not. No money being made, no harm meant.

Rating:             Blue Cortina for suggested slash.

Spoilers:          None, I don’t know when it’s set and I don’t think it matters much.

Word Count:   1350

Summary:       It's in the title
Pairing:           Gene/Sam. No action in this one, sorry.

A/N:                This was going to be the final scene of something longer. But that keeps getting pushed back down the pile by new ideas, and I’m not sure it’s really within my area of competence anyway. Anyway, this suddenly demanded to be written, so here it is. I’m not posting to <lj comm=lifein1973> because it may be superseded by the full version at some point.

Rating:            Brown Cortina for anal sex, swearing

Word Count:  5,780 total over two sections

Notes:             Gene/Sam slash

Summary:       Sam discovers that being with Gene has changed a lot more than just who he wakes up with.

A/N:                 Set about three months after “What Do Girls Do”, which explains the relationship history they each brought to this one. Many thanks to <lj user=”jayb111”> for her fast and very intelligent beta reading. I haven’t been able to watch a single episode since mid-July (kids gone back today, yay!) and I’m a bit worried I’ve lost the voices, so friendly concrit would be welcomed, ta.

Title: Real Men Don’t ... Do They?  Part 4a / 4

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 section: NC-17 for swearing and sexual references. No torture, no horror, no Doctor Who.

Pairing: Gene/Sam

Spoiler: Part 3 has a Major spoiler for Series 1 Episode 5. Nothing else.

Word Count: approx 15,650 in total. This section 5,020 words, split into two sections.

Summary: It takes Gene and Sam a long time to work out what we’ve always known.

A/N: This is the first story I ever wrote, but it’s taken a long time to complete. The first story I posted, "What Do Girls Do?", started off as the sex scene for this story, but it didn’t fit. This story might be described as “Relationship Without Plot”. The district of Morton and the Red Lion are my own invention.

Thanks: Lots of thanks to Galacticowl and to Jools at TRA, who both read various scenes and provided suggestions and lots of encouragement, so I felt it was worth finishing the job. Also to Loz who despite preparing for her new job found time be the first person to read the whole thing through and provide some very positive feedback and some useful lessons in style. And finally to the fantastic Jayb111 who did a very thorough and much appreciated beta job.

Follows on from Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3.

Author’s Note: This is my first Doctor Who fanfic; I normally write Life on Mars. I wanted to do something quite a lot longer than this, but I already have three long fics for Life on Mars eating my brain, so this is it for now.
