Comment: Blucougar's Another World is one of my favorite Torchwood fics to date. There's a lot to this story. It's long, and extremely well written. This fic manages to be both a character piece and to have an exceptional plot - usually stories tend one way or the other. It's also a crossover with Law and Order: Criminal Intent, but don't let that scare you away. The fic strikes a fair balance between the two shows, with perhaps a bit more focus on the Torchwood team. I'm not familiar with the Law and Order fandom, really, but I found it easy to slip into this fic. And of course it's Jack/Ianto, heaped on top of a mighty serving of angst as Jack tries to cope with the fallout from the year that never was, while leading his team and trying to catch a monster. And Ianto's there for him, which is written in a really sweet, believable way.

I'm puzzled - the name of the fic and the author are both listed. Sorry to be obtuse, I just can't figure out what you mean. I used the author's ff.net handle, though, because I don't know their lj handle - I don't even think this fic is on lj.

^_^ Sorry about the misunderstanding. :P I meant um on the Subject of the entry? Like, there's this line where you write the subject when you're posting something, and it says 'Subject' and there's a line where you can write it. (I am soo bad in explaining things >_<

Like um, the entry before yours has the SUbject 'Community Masterlist'

^_^;; It's just easier for people who go to the Calendar to see the name of the subject.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Btw, I'm on the 4th chapter of the fic you recced and it's so awesome!!! :D I'm so happy you recced it, since I don't really go to FF.net anymore! ^_^

LOL. I have such a horrible addiction to FF.net, even though now I know better I still go there looking for fic quite often. Much of it is crap, but I love finding those random diamond-in-the-rough fics like this one.

And I think I'm getting vicarious joy from someone else reading and enjoying this fic. It really is wonderful, and I think that because of where it's posted it hasn't gotten as much attention as it might have otherwise.

I hope to see more recs from you, since I can see that you have good taste~! :D
