Matter of Life and Love
by Maureen J. Long
Helena and Lee Russell. In "Matter of Life and Love" they are fated to be together. Contrary to popular canon, in this universe Lee Russell is Helena's one true love despite her fondness for John Koenig. When a twist of fate allows Lee to return again to Alpha the usual order of the Space:1999 universe is changed forever. Join Helena and Lee in their quest to be reunited.
Author's note about the time line:
The story starts at the end of the Year-One-episode "Matter of Life and Death" which I set in December 1999, three months after "Breakaway". Some events from the Year-One-Series have already happened - it doesn't really matter which ones; the reader has only to imagine that the Alphans already experienced some adventures before discovering the planet "Terra Nova" and have grown together as a community. The period between Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 comprises almost one year (from December 1999 to November 2000), during which the rest of the Year-One-events and all Year-Two-events take place. So Chapter 5 begins in November 2000. Chapters 6 to 13 span only one month, so the story ends exactly one year after "Matter of Life and Death": in December 2000. The chapter Helena's Diary is to be read after Chapter 1.
