rec50Torchwood: general series table
Claim: Torchwood: general series
Prompt: 22. UST
Title: Event Horizon
Author: Azar
Rating: All Ages
Length: short
Brief summary: The author writes in second person and makes it work in this story about Gwen's feelings for Jack.
You're starting to fall for him. You can feel it, and you curse yourself for it.
You've already got everything you want--you've got Rhys, Lord love him, you've got stability, you've got a life outside of work. Jack can't give you any of those things: never mind the fact that he lives there, in that hole in the ground you all call headquarters, you've seen his type before.

Title: Stir Things Apart
Author: Zabbers
Rating: All Ages
Length: medium
Brief summary: Good, angsty piece about Ianto and his relationship with Lisa.
Afterwards, he wonders how they could have let it happen. Like the other survivors, he is shocked at how badly things went wrong, at how close to a larger disaster they came. As it is, it was a tragedy, limited to Torchwood's chosen children, who, wilfully blind, refused to see the danger. He is forced, like all of them, to accept the consequences of his own negligence.
He's in his flat, alone, stirring brandy, irreversibly, into Sumatran java.
Ianto sips his coffee and thinks, he has forgotten to add sugar. It had always been Lisa's perverse delight to slip extra cubes into his cup when he wasn't looking; he had become accustomed to not adding any at all, to compensate. It's strange to drink something so familiar and suddenly find it so bitter. He looks at the brandy bottle on his end table, wondering if Lisa would have laughed at this scene.
