Title: Like There’s A Part Of Me That I Want To Get Back Again
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Ianto

Summary: Gleefully AU. “Ianto still believes he’s been in a coma the last couple of years and has been re-recruited to Torchwood One following his awakening.”
Author’s Notes: As with most things O/I that I write, this is sort of fluffy in a brutal way. Well, fluffy by my standards anyway. I came up with the plotbunny in Berlin, but then I watched Torchwood on my ipod on the train to Munich, and got all upset and angry, so I thought I would wait until I got home to actually write it. The plotline is basically personal crack and is therefore kind of silly, but I quite like it anyway.

I have not yet watched CoE as I don’t feel emotionally ready yet. I don’t think it’ll come up, but please bear this in mind in any comments you may choose to leave!

Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Ianto
Challenge/Prompt: fanfic100, 079. When?
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 12,380
Genre: Slash
Summary: Ianto is sent to rescue Owen from 19th Century London, but he’s less than impressed by what Owen has been doing to survive.
Author’s Notes: Also known as The Inadvisable Owen/Ianto Crack!Fic Of Potential Mental Instability. How’s this for slightly psychotic? I didn’t want to write an historical AU, but after seeing Burn as Bill Sikes in Oliver! (twice) I couldn’t get over the idea of Owen/Ianto in a Victorian setting. Which is where this utterly insane idea came from. I honestly wasn’t going to write it, but then… I did. *is broken* Obviously I’ve barely researched this; but that really wasn’t the object of the exercise. Oh, and I can’t remember when Queen Victoria established Torchwood, so let’s just say it exists, yeah?

Title: Well, Tomorrow We’ll Wake Up Entwined In Red Tape
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Suzie
Challenge/Prompt: 7rainbowprompts #2 Blowing Bubbles
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6905
Genre: Het
Summary: Five things Yvonne Hartman tried to fire Jack and Suzie for (or: five times Jack utterly failed to impress Suzie).
Author’s Notes: Because not everything Suzie-related has to be doom and gloom, and once the ‘five things’ idea popped into my head I couldn’t resist writing it. Plus, Jack/Suzie is so my OTP. Naturally I’ve fucked a bit with the timeline, but then Fragments never actually said when Suzie was hired, so: *shrugs* Also, it worked out kind of longer than I meant it to be, because I have so much fun writing unintentionallysociopathic!Jack&Suzie.

Summary: The Doctor isn’t entirely sure who he is, but he does know who he was.
Author’s Notes: Congrats to Matt Smith (even if he does have the most boring name ever)! We can come back to this in 2010 and laugh at how horribly wrong I was. Oh, and since I don’t even know what costume Eleven is going to wear, I’ve dressed him up in what he’s wearing in the promo shot with the TARDIS. Unless that is his costume… As for adding lyrics to each vignette, that was ‘cause I was listening to Johnny Flynn while finishing this and I got distracted by how well the song fit what I wrote. I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.

Rating: PG
Word Count: 1000
Genre: Pre-slash
Summary: Jack is travelling around the universe in a glorified box, his only protection coming from a sonic pistol that keeps running out of batteries and spends large amounts of time actually being a banana.
Author’s Notes: When I was given the prompt I was told I’d be loved forever if I managed to hurt Jack a little; I hope that meant physically as I haven’t injured him emotionally! I’m also going to mention entangled_now’s excellent Ten-and-Jack fic Habits, which as far as I can tell I have in no way plagiarised, but which I re-read to help me set the tone for this.

Summary: You feel as though you’ve known him forever, but it’s only been a few days.
Author’s Notes: The request intrigued me; to write a companion piece to I Nothing But To Please His Fantasy from a different POV. I ended up writing it from the point of view of the blonde prostitute John got fixated with for a while, and I actually like how this turned out. Plus I finally worked out why the timeloop was going on in the first place. I hope this is ok for you, supersparkly!

Copyright: Title is from Song 2 by Blur
Summary: Gray just grins, like he knows better than you do. It’s entirely probable that he does.
Author’s Notes: Once again in 2nd person as I always feel awkward about calling him Johnin fics that are from his POV. Weirdly, I don’t have that problem with Jack, but what the hell. Mild spoilers for the John & Gray episodes of S2. Although any inaccuracies (and I’m sure there are some) come from the fact that I will not watch End Of Days again. I’m just not there yet.

Title: Kind Of Tragic
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Gwen
Rating: PG
Word Count: 500
Genre: Het
Summary: Jack wants to do her in her wedding dress.
Author’s Notes: Written for karaokegal’s Fanfic Halloween Party, because, let’s face it, Jack/Gwen makes me positively angry. But it is about time I wrote some (even if it’s only a teeny snippet at the moment). Spoilers for 2x09 & bonus points for people who can tell me what the significance of the title is :)

Title: Could’ve Been Anyone
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Ianto; Owen, Tosh, Jack, Gwen, John (slightly Owen/Ianto if you tilt your head to one side and squint, and a trace of John/Ianto)

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 5430
Genre: Gen
Copyright: Bits & pieces of Could’ve Been Anyone by Aimee Mann
Summary: “You should just stick to offering people coffee and picking up dry-cleaning.”
Author’s Notes: I’m not trying to get a whole cohesive story together; more a series of vignettes of the random awesomeness that is Ianto’s life. So it’s all the little Torchwood scenes I always wanted to write shuffled together because I couldn’t make them form a long, proper story individually. It’s not set in a specific time period, but there are vague season 2 finale spoilers right at the end. And areas of this could prove slightly problematic if you’re not vaguely familiar with British kids’ TV shows, though that’s what Wiki was made for ;)

Summary: “You’re a mystery, Lucy Saxon,” the Doctor tells her with a pleased grin.
Author’s Notes: I didn’t want to write 100 fics of crazyness, after all. This is dedicated to Ant, who is not going to read this, but he runs a Doctor Who online forum and was kind enough to lend me the TV movie so I could meet Eight in person, rather than in BBC radio plays. Damn, he’s pretty with his curly hair. And I suppose I’ve made Lucy into a slight River Song figure, but what the hell. It’s personal crack.

Author’s Notes: You know when your brain comes up with really, really weird thoughts at like, two-thirty in the morning just before you fall asleep? And then you remember them when you’re awake, and think what the hell, I’ll do it anyway? And… yeah. Let’s pair up the dead girlfriends. Spoilers for Fragments and Cyberwoman. And written really oddly. As per usual. I’m not sure I’m expecting anyone to read this!

Summary: You’d have to be bloody mad to want to work here. Are you?
Author’s Notes: This idea clung onto me during Fragments and I couldn’t get rid of it. Plus Ianto&Suzie friendship just rules my whole world. You totally know they were BFFs in the days before Gwen arrived; they were enigmatic and kind of emo together. Oh yeah. Plus I can’t write Suzie without including her [canon] relationship with Owen and her [you know it’s canon] relationship with Jack.

Summary: “My Master did it better,” she mumbles; a distraction.
Author’s Notes: Spoilers for Journey’s End. Because I might as well get the characters that were unfortunately left out of the finale in there! I have somehow inadvertently managed to include a tiny hint at child molestation too.

Genre: Gen/het
Copyright: Bits and pieces of Horses by Tori Amos
Summary: Susan meets Captain Harkness at various points in her life.
Author’s Notes: The bunny bit me and would not leave me alone. Don’t worry, Susan is entirely legal by the time anything of a relationship-type nature happens. Spoilers for both Narnia films, and also mild ones for the books The Magician’s Nephew, The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader and The Last Battle. And details have been taken from the Torchwood book The Twilight Streets. I’ve taken some major liberties with the timeline, but does anyone care? I’ve written this purely for me, not anyone else, and it’s an AU anyway.

Copyright: Title is from Half The Fun by Snow Patrol.
Summary: Martha thinks about telling him that she’s only joined Torchwood because it’s slightly less sociopathic than UNIT, and then realises that Jack probably already knows.
Author’s Notes: Well, Miss Osterhagen Regrets was my version of Martha getting to Torchwood in a reasonably positive way. This is the not positive version, with everyone having breakdowns and stuff (can you guess I’m depressed as hell?), though I’ll admit that it damn near killed me to break up Martha and Tom, ‘cause I do love them. Spoilers for Exit Wounds and Journey’s End, and then my own speculation for series 3 of TW.

Copyright: Title is a play on a song by Cole Porter. If you don’t know which… *sighs*
Summary: “I’m happy with the anti-climax,” Martha says, finally admitting it aloud.
Author’s Notes: Spoilers for the Who season four finale. I don’t want anyone to come crying at me because I ruined [bits of] it for them. And tiny spoilers for the Torchwood S2 finale, though they were in Who so it’s not utterly major. Martha & Sarah Jane should totally be best friends, it would be so sweet (and once again yay for Luke/Clyde hints). Love & kisses to wiki, the only website I could get onto at work to help me double check finale plot details.

Title: ‘Sex Aliens Stole My Clothes’ Is Not A Valid Excuse
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Ianto
Rating: PG-15
Word Count: 4065
Genre: Slash
Summary: “Robot,” Owen mutters under his breath, mentally willing Ianto to say something that will give him an excuse to attack him.
Author’s Notes: Set during 1x02 Day One, because it’s always fun to go old school. And I’ve had a particular exchange of dialogue in my head for a fortnight and finally figured out what I want to do with it. Season One Owen/Ianto is always that bit sharper and pointier, which I like, because Owen hasn’t mellowed out yet. This story starts just after Owen has been found naked in the cells…

Summary: “Remember the part where I took a chance on you?”
Author’s Notes: The aftermath of Cyberwoman through a Fragments-coloured prism. And ‘cause I haven’t written Jack/Ianto in a while and this idea sort of appealed to me. Still, Owen/Ianto FTW and all that. It’s just that, in this S1 timeline, Owen hasn’t noticed Ianto yet due to the whole Gwen thing. Yes. Ooh, and see if you can spot the teeny KKBB spoiler ;)

Title: Far Off, Like A Dull Rumour Of Some Other War

Pairing: Gerald/Harriet [Torchwood 1918]
Challenge/Prompt: philosophy_20, 10. Time
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 10,645
Genre: Gen/Het
Copyright: Title is from Wilfred Owen, Exposure.
Spoilers: 2x03 To The Last Man, 2x12 Fragments.
Summary: “What’s the point of trying to save the world if it’s going to end anyway?”
Author’s Notes: I loved Gerald and Harriet, and so wanted to write about an historical Torchwood that’s just as fucked up as the one we know and love. Also, since I’m studying World War One literature in English A-level at the moment, it was a chance to geek out with all my historical knowledge! I mean, I’m not going to pretend this is entirely accurate or anything, but it’s been researched a little, at least! *grin* The other characters of Torchwood 1918 are based on the meagre amounts of information given on the BBC website as part of the To The Last Man extras.

One thought: This either works, or doesn’t work at all. I’m not sure which. It’s kind of an experiment.
