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.
