Podfic by talkingtothesky

Sky's reading has a delicate quality that fits the faux-innocence of the story, and I love the fact that she chose to record it. If podfic is your thing, go and listen, and do let her know what you think.

Notes: Written for the Female Character Trope Fest. Thanks to thatyourefuse and eisen for pre-reading.

Synchronicity note: I did not deliberately wait until the date of this decade's British royal wedding to post this, but I might've if I'd thought of it.

( How far Alex's mind is willing to go to make her believe that she's finally the person she's always known she was )

Title: In medias res (1000 words) (lit. into the middle of things)
Fandom: Life on Mars (UK) (spoilers for 2x08)
