Heart, and Brain, and All (Torchwood)

HEART, AND BRAIN, AND ALL

Summary: If Gwen is the conscience, and Tosh is clearly the brain – then what, Ianto ponders, are the rest of them?

Characters: whole team (Ianto, Jack, Gwen, Tosh, Owen)

Words: 800

Rating: G

Notes:

In honour of the fact that I’m IN CARDIFF RIGHT NOW (!!!), a Torchwood ficlet.

This was an idea I had a million years ago, inspired by a line Tosh says in “Wonderland” by nancybrown. I always wanted to incorporate this into a much larger, plottier fic, and maybe I still will someday; but for now, this. :-)

There Are Days (Torchwood)

THERE ARE DAYS

Summary:

Sometimes Jack gets lost in how much he has lived through, how much he has lost.

Ianto always finds him.

Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto, with mentions of other characters
(set any nebulous time with the full team during the run of the show, and also CoE never happens, yes?)

Words: 600

Rating: PG-13

Notes: I was processing some feelings of my own, and they came out as Jack Harkness.

(A set of interconnected drabbles about Jack, Ianto, and im/mortality. Angsty topics, I suppose, but overall loving and hopeful.)

Fremdsprachen ("Foreign Languages" in German, Torchwood fic)

Inspired by bfcure's Russian translation of my short Torchwood fic "Foreign Languages," I thought it would be fun to try my own hand at a translation...into German. This would not have been possible without the German-beta-work-extraordinaire of

vulcan_rhapsody. Thank you!!

Words: 700

Rating: PG-13

Notes: Okay...time for silly crossover fic!

(Then I swear I'll get back to focusing on my big, long, serious Harry Potter story.)

Spoilers: None as far as I can tell. (Aside from, y'know, the fact that Jack hits on everyone in the known universe, and then some!)

Unfamiliar Times (Torchwood)

UNFAMILIAR TIMES

Summary: The Time Agency was baffling. But not for the reasons you would expect.

Fandom: Torchwood (and a bit of Doctor Who)

Characters: Jack Harkness & OMC, Jack Harkness/many OCs, Jack Harkness/John Hart, implied Jack Harkness/real life historical figures, Jack Harkness & the Doctor, Jack Harkness & the Torchwood Three team

Words: ~2,500

Rating: PG-13

Notes: So, for a while now I’ve had this little idea at the back of my mind that maybe Jack Harkness was not always the fearless, flirtatious omnisexual we know and love… The glimpse we got of life on Jack’s home world in “Adam” actually seemed quite traditional – a simple, homespun sort of life with a nuclear family of mother-and-father-and-kids as the main unit. …What if it wasn’t until he joined the Time Agency that Jack learned just what a flexible place the 51st century could be?

Slight spoilers for, oh, gosh, everything I guess!

Thank you to

stereolightning for beta-reading this story…even though this isn’t her fandom. She’s a star!

As always – though I so often forget to say it – this story is also on AO3.

Words: 5x100

Notes: For challenge #342 at

Auuugh, sorry, I borrowed a bit of Sam Starbuck’s headcanon yet again, for Jack’s section.

Some Things Can't Wait (Torchwood)

SOME THINGS CAN'T WAIT

Summary:

Jack burst into Ianto’s flat without knocking (typical Jack), framed himself dramatically in the doorway, and declared, “You were told about Flat Holm in the strictest confidence, Ianto!”

Ianto looked up from where he was making pizza – making enough for two, because Jack was so very predictable sometimes – and smiled at the picture Jack made, there in the doorway, indignant but never without his flare for the dramatic.

Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto

Words: ~1,200

Rating: PG-13

Notes: Set directly following “Adrift” (2x11). Also compliant with the “Captain’s Blog” entry for that episode (even if it may not seem like it at first!)

Also, partially inspired by a small bit in Chapter 3 of

copperbadge’s story “Nicholas Redux.”

Story also at AO3!

Very 21st Century (Torchwood fic)

VERY 21ST CENTURY

Summary: “I’ve been wanting to ask you a question,” Ianto says. “But I’ve decided against it. You’d only tell me how very 21st century I am.”

Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto

Words: ca. 1,600

Rating: PG

Notes: Finally, my first foray into Torchwood fic! …And yes, I know I discovered this show about a decade too late to actively participate in the fandom. Sigh.

Set shortly after “Something Borrowed” (2x09).

In case you’re not familiar with Torchwood and want to read this story anyway, I’ll try to summarise the background... The Torchwood team protect the Earth from alien threats (or attempt to do so) from a not-so-secret base called the Hub, in Cardiff. They’re led by Captain Jack Harkness: omnisexual, immortal time traveller originally from the 51st century, renowned for flirting with anything that moves. Over the course of the show, Jack develops an increasingly serious relationship with teaboy-turned-field-operative Ianto Jones, but also has an intense (though unconsummated) attraction/affection with Gwen Cooper…even when Gwen marries her long-term, long-suffering boyfriend. Yes, Torchwood’s sexual politics are complicated.

Oh, and they have a pet pterodactyl.

My headcanon of Ianto and Jack’s relationship is probably one part canon, two parts

copperbadge’s stunningly good stories. I suggest reading all of them!
