rec50Torchwood: general series table
Claim: Torchwood: general series
Prompt: 45. Taste
Title: Chaos Theory
Author: Aeshna
Rating: K+
Length: short
Brief summary: So, I'm stretching the "taste" prompt and using the definition of "a person's appreciation of and liking for particular things." It fits this story, which explains why Jack chose the particular members of his Torchwood team.
They came and they went, brilliant and bright and mayfly-brief, his to shape and his to love and his to lose. They brought him joy and grief and friendship and pain and everything between, cast him as parent and confidant, teacher and executioner, kept him sharp, kept him keen. Kept him from fossilising alone in the depths, hardening beyond the possibility of recovery or repair. No, he didn't want order, didn't want mindless obedience, didn't want clearly defined roles. He needed life and death and honest loyalties, the awkward realities of a humanity he hadn't quite relinquished yet...

Brief summary: Owen has some trouble figuring out what to do with his time. Excellent character work and mixture of angst with humor.
4. Watch educational TV
What are you supposed to do all day when you’re dead? Owen ditches the day time TV viewing when he realises he’s not wondering any more if Robert Kilroy Silk’s an alien – maybe there’s a galaxy where that shade of tan’s natural – because he’s begun to get properly interested in the guests’ problems. God knows why; it isn’t like he’s going to tune in and find the topic’s ‘I’m dead but I’m still walking around.’
Then he remembers the box set of ‘Buffy’ he bought last year in a bargain bin and never got round to watching. He hadn’t imagined he’d be using it as a documentary. He studies it now, finding it worryingly easy to fast-forward through the parts that focus on Sarah Michelle Gellar in ridiculously low-cut tops and tight leather pants (the only reason he bought it in the first place). How did the vampires pass the eternal tedium of their eternal lives, anyway? Mostly drinking, fighting and shagging, it would appear, with a fair amount of standing round in long coats and brooding. That doesn’t help him much, what with the first three activities being out of the question and Jack pretty much having a monopoly on the brooding and coat thing.
