Fic: Paradise By The Gas Powr'd Lights (Sanctuary)

AN: I can’t actually blame this one on Penknife, since I thought of it on my own. That said it was a dare…

If you have not heard Meatloaf’s “Paradise By The Dashboard Lights”, I recommend it on the basis that it is one of the greatest, by which I mean one of the most ridiculous, songs ever written.

Originally this fic was quite silly. Then it became less silly. And possibly even moving? You decide.

Spoilers: Nothing, really. Takes place pre-series when Ashley is about 14.

Rating: PG

Disclaimer: Not mine, and neither is the song.

Characters/Pairing: Helen Magnus/John Druitt (past), Ashley Magnus/Henry Foss (um, sort of)

Summary: ‘Cause they were barely seventeen and they were barely dressed (except they were nearly forty and they were wearing enough clothing to smother a regiment).

Helen Magnus, Best Mother Ever: y/y?
