Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh wow! Talk about totally heartbreaking and painful! This is one of Bella's darker fics and gotta say that I DO kind of see this happening if our Torchwood universe was just a tad darker. Regardless, bear the warnings in mind because it IS very, VERY dark and contains graphic descriptions of rape and non-con!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto ran... as fast his legs could carry him. Behind him he could hear Jack gaining... Pure fear kicked in... He was sobbing; his eyes completely blind from the tears that fell in a torrent... He glanced down and saw his hands still covered in blood – her blood; god there was so much. He let out a howl of grief, stumbling on the uneven surface. He fell against the wall and tried to catch his breath. He’d never been so scared in his life. As he stood bent over, he heard Jack shouting... cursing... pounding down the corridor towards him. Ianto took off again, running as fast as he could, trying to ignore his burning lungs and the pain that was starting to seep into his legs.

As he rounded a corner he tripped and... landed heavily. For a moment he was stunned, the world spun round him and all he could hear was the pounding of the blood in his head. Then he felt himself being grabbed, strong hands lacing through his hair and suddenly he felt as if he was flying.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel of Loss of Innocence (recced above). This deals with Ianto's decision and the aftermath taking us to the end of the episode in canon. Though not as graphically descriptive, it's still quite dark, so bear the warnings in mind.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

As he opened the door he saw Ianto sitting cross legged on the floor surrounded by books. The Doctor started to smile but as Ianto looked up, the smile faded and the Doctor was at his side in an second, one arm going round the younger man shoulders, "Hey what’s wrong?" asked the Doctor his concern audible in his voice.

Ianto wiped the tears away... "Nothing. I was just reading about…” he gulped for air before continuing, “About 21st century…” He held the book out. The Doctor took it from him and scanned the page quickly noticing the bold writing and murmured, "21st century where everything changes and we have to be ready.”

"Jack says that all the time... God, I miss him.”

The Doctor didn’t reply... Looking up he asked softly, “Do you want to go back?”

“I don’t know,” whispered Ianto...

REC: DIRT by VELVETFASCISM

Title: Dirt
Author: velvetfascism
Genre: Angst, semi-Dark
Rating: PG-13
Other/Implied Pairings: N/A
Summary: Just when things start to settle back into their usual routines, Jack gets knocked back a step.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: ~ 895
Warnings: Post-Torchwood 2x13 "Exit Wounds"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Aah, this fic is just heartbreak. The episode went so fast-paced, but this fic just shows the repercussion of Jack being buried for so long and it'll be a long, long time before he's healed...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack felt his blood run cold and looked down at his own shaking hands, searching in the low light for any traces of mud. Upon finding a dark smudge across the centre his palm, he opened his mouth to call out to the retreating form of his young lover, but the words wouldn’t come. They lodged in the back of his throat and formed a cold, hard lump, like the memory of ancient dirt, until he was choking back a sob.

REC: Baby in the Hub by xxtorchmexx

Author: xxtorchmexx
Genre: Romance, Crossover, Fluff
Rating: PG at the moment
Other/Implied Pairings: briefly implied past Jack/John
Summary: Gwen's messing with another piece of alien tech which results in a baby in the hub.
Status: Work In Progress

Word Count: TBC

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is brilliant so far and promises to get better. I'm not usually a fan of fics with Gwen bashing but it seems to fit in this fic and isn't too over the top. Best to read this using the links at the bottom since it's not on the writers lj.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He was just standing up to get himself a cup of coffee (Ianto was now a full member of the team, they had a rota to who made the coffee and took over the main Hub cleaning duties) when he heard a loud crash followed by a loud squeal from one of the girls.

Running out of his office, he stopped.

On the floor in front of him was a dark haired infant looking around the age of one year old.

Gwen and Tosh were standing slightly further back, the latest alien device in Gwen’s hands, looking at the baby in shock.

“What the bloody hell is goin’ on?” Owen shouted, coming out of the autopsy room, not noticing the tiny child in front of him.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Fluffy fic where Tosh discovers Jack's feelings for Ianto through a song and persuades him ask Ianto out. ^^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Tosh stood enraptured... She could see his face glowing, his eyes holding such a dreamy look of romance it was almost tangible. As she listened, Tosh slowly realised who he was thinking about... she asked... “Does he know?”

Jack... shook his head, confessing, ”Do you really think he’d want me back – after everything I did to him?... to the team?”

Tosh... giving him a semi-stern look, chided, ”Jack –he spent those months you were gone pining for you. Of course he wants you back; you just have to tell him how you feel.” Jack bowed his head and shot her a look that spoke volumes. Stepping closer, Tosh... said softly, ”Jack, I watched you walk away from a man that you loved and I saw how much that hurt you. Please, don’t make me watch you walk away from another lover just because you’re afraid of what his response will be... please, just tell him how you feel. For all our sakes just tell him.”
