Comment or Excerpt from fic: I'm seriously looking forward to read this fic cuz what could be better than TORCHWOOD IN VE~GAS, BABY!!! XD *pumps fist in the air* One craziness meets a craziness on an entirely new level, so insanity galore!

Starts off with Martha calling Torchwood about an unsolved case that'll take our TW team to Vegas. But even before the official mission as a team can start, Jack disappears and this mission now becomes very personal. Be aware of the warnings as they apply from chapter two itself.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The world always waited for Jack... It was a melancholy thought but this was Torchwood... There simply were no happy endings... He... wondered how a small blue box could trigger such an existential train of thought. Looking at Jack, he had to bite his cheek... at the irony... Offense, he thought, sometimes was the best defense and tried to convince himself that he hadn’t just fled from Jack... However, Torchwood did a very good job hardening its employees: ignore or die. He ignored... and his hands shook so hard that Jack took the coffee from him...

“Deep breaths,” Jack was there, always so close... too close... just right, “we’ll be okay.” And... Ianto found himself in Jack’s arms clutching his shirt as though he were drowning... It wasn’t a revelation by any means. He had known, realized and thought he had made peace with the fact that part of his heart had been torn out, but Jack, still incredibly close and warm, had known all along: there would never be peace.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one of the most gorgeously written fics that I've ever had the pleasure to read... and believe me, I've read a LOT! Taking place slightly before "Exit Wounds," but post-2x09 "Something Borrowed," it starts off with Ianto's body carrying a "foreign entity" (*coughBABYcough*) and what follows are a series of events that're nothing like any mpreg fics I've ever read! Very unexpected! And the twists and turns in this fic just keep you at the edge of your seat!

*starry eyed* I'm in absolute AWE!!

*_______________________________________________________*

I don't have the slightest clue how else to explain this fic other than to urge you to read it yourself, so GO READ!!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto... froze at the unmistakable sound of Jack's revolver cocking behind him... Ianto slowly raised both hands... and... slowly turned... to look up at Jack... "Jack... What..." What did I do...

"We're not going to hurt you," Jack said... "... You're showing up funny on the scanners, and we need to figure out what's going on before it takes you over or kills you..."

Owen... pointed a hand-held scanner at Ianto's chest, sweeping it slowly downward... "Damn... Definitely something alive in there--pretty small, though. Get it with the singularity scalpel, no trouble..." Owen let out a strange noise then, staring at the scanner... "Haven't seen one... in a long while, but... Homo sap, I reckon."

Ianto blinked at it. "It's human?"

"It's a baby..."

Length: Oneshot

Warnings: explicit sex – het, slash, and other; character deaths (but you should know who's dead already)
Spoilers: Set post Exit Wounds
Summary: He doesn't deserve to be forgotten. Jones and Jones (and Jones). AU.
Commentary: Okay cheating fics aren't exactly my cup of tea, but this works on so many, many levels. The first of which is that all participants have the last name of Jones. The second of which is that the reasoning behind the cheating is done so well- Jack not really all there, you can tell, and Ianto is feeling really frustrated about his inability to bring him back. Ianto's search for closure from Eugene's death is as much about his search for answers about where his life is going now as it is anything else, and Eugene is such an unabashed Ianto fanboy it makes you laugh. Plus, you know, Jack/Ianto smut at the end.

EXCERPT:

I promised myself a very long time ago that I would never do this again. I keep wondering what the hell am I thinking…

I’m sitting in the treatment area as the team puzzles over why I all of a sudden have taken an aversion to pizza. That would be a projectile vomiting aversion to pizza. Martha looks up from her clipboard at me.

“Jack, I’m going to assume that you can explain to me...” She says... “I ran it twice just to make sure...,” Her voice is low and she glances... to... where Ianto and Gwen are hovering, worried about me.

“Damn,” I reply. I knew this was very possible, but I really hoped that it wasn’t going to happen...

“Jack…” Martha... sighs, “You don’t want me to tell them the truth do you?”

“No...”

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The bedside clock was nearly enough to keep Ianto awake... “I can’t sleep without it there,” said Jack, the night Ianto asked him to put something over it... One night the power failed... and left them in sudden pitch black, unable to see... Jack had hunted for a torch, barking orders at Ianto, telling him to... just fucking find something... to break the darkness... Ianto had lit a candle and then held Jack, shaking.

“Poor candle. It’s useless now,” Ianto had said. “Like a lantern in the sun.”

“It’s still important,” Jack had replied... “Even though we have the sun, sometimes I need a candle more than anything...” They’d blown it out and Ianto stored it in the kitchen drawer, wondering if he’d anthropomorphised it because he was still half-asleep or because he empathised with its eventual fate. Jack laughed when he found it... “You’re not a candle,” said Jack, kissing him. “You’re a lighthouse.”

EXCERPT:

Ianto... threw back the covers and tumbled out of bed, making his way blindly to the shower. The hot water worked its magic to wake him, but did little to relieve the throbbing of his head. God, he didn’t remember getting pissed last night. Must have done though, to have a pounder like this... The pain in his head receded slightly when he managed to get a coffee... on his way to work... Still, when he cleared the tall, glass doors and stepped into the front lobby of his office building, Ianto shivered. Things were off somehow. Different. Wrong...

“Something is off... Like I’m supposed to be doing something, but I can’t quite remember what it is...” He shivered as the words left his lips... “Déjà vu...” Before he could say anything else, pain exploded in his head. The scream left his mouth without thought, his hands pressing tight to his eyes, trying to force back the agony. Vaguely, he realized he’d fallen to the floor... Thankfully, unconsciousness claimed him after that.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto stood in the archives, staring at the small black device in his hands. He had already flipped open the lid. The blue flashing numbers were casting an eerie glow, illuminating his conflicted features.

He was scared. The risks that were involved in time-travel were huge... But nothing worth having was ever easy. And Tosh had worked so hard... Tosh had said she would go back in time... see her ancestors... to learn from them and their achievements... Ianto said he would go forward... see if the world... was... worth it, if the people were worth it. They both knew exactly whom it was he wanted to see, but neither of them mentioned him.

Ianto brushed away a stray tear... Tosh had been brave and strong. She hadn’t been able to get her wish, but he could do this one last thing for her. He wasn’t going to let the last bit of her brilliance go to waste.

He pushed the button.

"Did she tell you anything about the new ghosts?" asked Jack, ignoring Ianto's sharp glare.

"There are four new ones - Aaron, Eifion, Sir George, and Fatima... and... There's more going on besides the sheep disappearing..."

"What's going on?"

"There are noises at night. Howling and sobbing. I check the dogs and they're all asleep. Brenna and Elin are asleep and still it continues." Marc pressed his lips together. "I swore I actually saw one of Elin's ghosts the other night. It was wearing this Victorian looking dress and wandering through the living room."

"You want Ianto and I to take a look? See what we can find?" asked Jack cautiously.

"Just be aware it's going on," Marc said quietly.

EXCERPT:

Jack... let himself into Ianto's flat... Making his way to the bedroom, he paused at the side of the bed and looked down at the man sleeping curled up around the pillow Jack usually used. Moonlight played across Ianto’s face and Jack felt his heart swell at the picture of peaceful beauty displayed... he climbed into the bed and... Facing his lover, he reached out a finger and trailed it gently down the side of Ianto’s face... Reassuring himself by touch that the younger man was there, alive and safe. He watched as Ianto’s lips curved into a smile... Jack leaned down and softly kissed those smiling lips... gasping as the younger man woke up and moved to deepen the kiss... They broke apart... and Ianto smiled that heart-stopping grin that caused Jack to melt every time he saw it.

“You’re home,” Ianto breathed.

“I promised you I’d come back, didn’t I?” Jack teased.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Well, this fic is one HECK of a roller-coaster ride! Having watched only the last two episodes of DW so far, I must admit that this fic can be made into actual cross-over episodes should anyone consider it! It's fast-pased and exciting and we meet characters that were lost to us again and that just made be cry others that just made me want to maim them... BUT! It's a marvelously written fic and very complex and so very exciting!

But at times, I was forced to wonder how multiple paradoxes didn't occur since characters... *coughJackcough* DO cross their parallel selves... ^^;; But even so, a MUST READ!

~*~*~*~*~~~

EXCERPT:

There was no simplicity left in the world... It was unbearable, the loneliness... There was so much out there... and most of it was out of reach... Torchwood dealt with the scum of the universe, not its wonders... there was something out there, something magnificent... but from where he was standing... it... couldn’t be farther away...

... As Ianto walked, a tremor swept violently through the city. The earth rumbled... and Ianto... thought he’d seen everything, but... that familiar, blindingly bright, blue and silver light tore through the sky, space, and time itself, causing... the world to collapse... a fresh wave of golden energy poured out of the Rift. Time itself came to a stop... and... all stared up at it in alarm... facing an abyss that threatened to consume them. And then... it was consuming them, pulling them off the ground and sucking them in like a vacuum... and... Seconds later they were hurtling through time and space.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I was eagerly waiting for another fic from [livejournal.com profile] palmface and was delivered with this piece of brilliance! This is AU, as it states previously, with total disregard for TW S3 character speculation. Now that I think about it, I haven't read many post-EW fics that have TW3 recruiting OCs and not the usual characters (Mickey, Martha, maybe Tom)...

Anyway, the POV jumps every alternate chapter in the fic and so far, it's a very interesting fic with almost all genres - humor, action, romance, angst, etc. Exciting and enjoyable!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

When Robert Carmichael woke on a typically wet... morning... he went about his usual routine with a usual lack of enthusiasm... there was absolutely nothing to suggest... that this day would be in any way exceptional. Just another normal day, in a boring job... people who couldn’t even begin to appreciate his brilliance.

... The third floor was the dullest and most mocked department in the entirety of the UNIT organisation... This was the wasteland of the UNIT Empire, full of the disgraced and those who were deemed an embarrassment...

As he exited the lift... Robert was hailed by Nigel... “Robert... You’ve got a letter here. All very mysterious... with... explicit instructions that it be hand-delivered to you personally, apparently. All very hush-hush...”

Robert frowned... The envelope was stark white... expensive from its parchment-like texture; it was relieved only by the presence of flowing script in black ink bearing his name... No address, postmark, stamp, nothing.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This fic is connected to the above fic, but it isn't necessary to read this to read that one. The main reason I'm reccing this is because it's mentioned, a bit briefly, in Recruitment Policy and gives insight to the changes in team dynamics when Jack wasn't there.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Owen... smirked... “Get your coats, ladies and Gwen, we’re going to the pub.”

Ianto looked blankly... Tosh paused... to give him a look that was half reproachful and half disbelief. Gwen, however, wasn’t going to settle for a look. “Owen... We can’t all just go out and get pissed, we’re all that stands between this planet and the Rift, we can’t afford to be drunk on the job.”

Owen rolled his eyes; they’d heard this speech exactly thirty seven times... and it wasn’t getting any easier to listen to... “Come on, Gwen, one night out isn’t going to kill us! Anyway, we need to celebrate.”

Tosh looked up again at this. “What exactly are we celebrating Owen?”

“This is the first mission against a hostile alien intent on killing us all that we’ve beaten without any injuries since Jack left!”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I believe this is the only fic I’ve EVER read where Janto raise two girls. Gotta say, I’ve been curious as well to see how that works out! ^^ Regardless, Janto raising kids always makes me squee! ^______________^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack was fast asleep… when he heard his favorite Welshman’s vowels answer what could only be Ianto’s damn mobile phone. “Hello?” … suddenly he felt Ianto’s entire body go rigid, “yes… Which hospital? I’ll be right there.”

“What is it?” Jack asked… sensing his lover would need the support.

“There was an accident – I’m not really sure what happened, they…”

Jack grabbed a t-shirt and pair of jeans… “… your shoes are by the door, I’ll drive.”

“You don’t-“

Jack stopped, his hand pressed to Ianto’s bare chest… “I am. Let’s go.”

Ianto didn’t reply, they grabbed their jackets to fend off the cool October air, and were out of the flat within moments. “St. Agnes’ A&E”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: ... Tea-chan's making me LIKE Gwen... *twitch* Anyway, it's nice to see, for once, a fight between Janto that doesn't deal with either of them cheating on each other or anything along those lines! ^^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Gwen had a blistering headache. She’d even given it a name – Janto for Jack and Ianto. For almost a week, her teammates had been fighting and alternating between bitter sniping, screaming matches, and frosty silences. Once more, as both men had indicated in several exchanges, they were not having sex (Gwen was pretty sure that was Ianto’s idea...). The lack of any physical release for their emotions was making them extra cranky with everyone... Gwen had tried gentle prodding, snooping in the CCTV footage, and even veiled threats to discover the source of the fight, but she’d come up empty. “Damn stubborn male pride,” she thought. Since Tosh and Owen, they were all each other had. She was not about to let them self-destruct over a lover’s quarrel.

Now that she was alone in the Hub for a bit, she had time to do something... Quickly, she accessed a program on her computer that Tosh had installed for her months ago and smiled.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I have a deep love for any fics that show the journey of a character through life, their growth both mentally and physically. And in Torchwood, the journey of Captain Jack Harkness in one of the more interesting subjects, especially because of his immortality. I can honestly say that when I read this fic, one of the first words in my mind was "Perfect." It's a wonderfully written piece!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack can still smell the deep scent of black leather wherever he goes.

It’s on him, it’s in him, and it doesn’t matter that he sometimes scrubs himself with so much force he bleeds, he can never get rid of it.

The smell wafts around him like a ghost. It’s a constant reminder of what he lost and it won’t stop haunting him... he’s still tormented by a battered leather jacket and Northern accent even as he dreams...

... but he’s found other reasons to value life, reasons that don’t always include a Time Lord and his blonde Companion, and it’s surprised him... In the still of the night Jack clings to Ianto... as Ianto continues to care for him, and nothing else seems to matter much anymore. Things have changed, people have changed, and Jack has another home now. It’s worlds away from the Blue Box but it’s his, and it just might be enough.

Status: Work In Progress
Length: Multi-chapter / ?? TOTAL
Word Count: TBC
Warnings: spoilers through and post: Doctor Who 4x13 "Journey's End" and Torchwood 2x13 "Exit Wounds"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to the above fic. The Doctor coming to Cardiff "just for the hell of it" is suspicious and being the Doctor, the situation is never as simple as it seems... or is it? His arrival gives way to misunderstandings and jealousies between Ten-Martha-Jack-Ianto that more humorous than anything! And Jack's unique way to get to the root of the problem will make more trouble than it's worth!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The Doctor... still wasn’t sure why he'd called Jack instead of Martha... He should've called Martha directly... but he'd called and left a message that he wanted to meet with Jack. Of course Martha called him back. He'd pretended to not know she would be there and made arrangements to meet them both for lunch today.

He didn't have a plan, no idea what he was going to say or do. He had nothing beyond the vague idea that he needed to get Martha away from Torchwood –away from Jack. He still didn't even know why he needed to do that. She had chosen to leave him... she needed her own life with someone that could love her... He couldn’t do that... And he didn't want that kind of life with Martha anyway, did he?... Again he felt that surge of…something…course through him... There was a nagging voice in the back of his head telling him he knew exactly what that feeling was... But he was going to ignore that voice. He didn't get jealous, it was ridiculous.
