Title: Conversations with the (repeatedly) Dead
Summary: "Earth's going to hell in a handbasket. If this isn't the perfect time to crack, then I don't know."
Fandom(s): Torchwood
Characters: Jack/Ianto
Spoilers: Everything of 'Children of Earth'
Rating/Warnings: None for this chapter, be sure to read the warnings for chapter one, though
Word count: 3194

Title: In the Cold Light of Day (3/3)
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Jack/Ianto, Gwen
Spoilers: Set after 'Exit Wounds'
Rating: PG
Word count: 9907 (total)
Summary: When Jack got agitated enough to track down something as minor as overdosed drug addicts, Ianto could be sure it wasn't a case to be shoved carelessly towards the local police department.
Note 1: Epic thanks to xwingace and elliptic_eye for invaluable beta help and keeping up with me for such a long time.
Note 2: Written for tw_wotd_fic's challenge 'hermetic'. This is about the longest fic I've ever written. It wasn't planned as such, so I really hope it's worth all the words. It's finished, so expect a chapter a day or so (the proper editing would drive me mad otherwise). Concrit and comments are love.

Characters: Jack
Spoilers: Set after the season 2 finale
Rating: PG, but dark
Word count: 914
Notes: Eternal thanks to xwingace, who was ever so patient with this, no matter how reluctant this thing was. Trying to get my fic mojo back, but instead this thing ate my brain and then spat it out again. Yes, that's quite a good explanation how I feel right now. Really not sure about this beast now that it's finished, so comments are love. *falls over*

Fandom(s): Torchwood/New Amsterdam
Characters: Jack, John
Spoilers: First episodes of both shows, but nothing major.
Rating/Warnings: None
Word count: 4 drabbles with 100 words each
Notes: The crossovers, they eat my brain!! It wanted out after I finally finished watching New Amsterdam and realized how marvellous Jack/John would be. If you don't know that show, it's not that complicated and the rough outline should be enough to understand my ramblings, I hope. Unbetaed, just written. Concrit and comments are love!

Same Shit, Different Day. Which is why you won't get many RL updates from me in the near future, I'd whine terribly and I won't inflict this on my f-list, I like you guys too much.

Suffice to say that no other being on this Earth can be as constantly tired as I am (and still move around), that my body is aching in places I never knew it could (if I can hold a fork, then I'm happy), while my felt IQ is now approaching that of a sandwich. Learning something new at work every day is such a pleasure.

Just a quick note to tell you that the wonderful jadesfire2808 made an audiofic out of one of my Torchwood stories. Go and listen to her wonderful voice, she makes the fic sound so good.

It's really odd how sound can affect a story, isn't it? Of course I read this more than once while I wrote this, but someone reading makes it more real, somehow, doesn't it? As if more of the brain has to take an effort... I'm so glad the fic still seems to work.

Title: Five Times Jack Met Another Time Traveller (Who Wasn't the Doctor)
Summary: Exactly what it says on the tin. Now with two time travellers walking into a bar.
Fandom(s): Torchwood/Journeyman
Characters: Jack, Dan
Spoilers: 'Last of the Time Lords' for Jack, none for Dan's timeline.
Rating/Warnings: None
Word count: 3401
Notes: Er, this has turned out to be longer than I intended it to be, so I hope it's still interesting. Many thanks to xwingace for her awesome job at betaing this beast. It would've eaten me if it wasn't for her, so go and read her TW/JM crossover, too. If you haven't heard of 'Journeyman', the plot's explained quite quickly… although I hope the fic speaks for itself. Comments are love.

Characters: Jack/OFC, Ianto
Spoilers: Torchwood 2x09 Something Borrowed
Rating/Warnings: None
Word count: 488
Notes: Written in a hurry, many thanks to neadods for having a look at this. The remaining mistakes are mine, so please tell me if you find any. Written as a response to that last scene of TW 2x09, and once again a Happy Birthday fic posted for the Barrowman himself. Almost getting a tradition to write birthday fic for him *g* Comments and concrit are love.

Characters: Jack, Tosh
Spoilers: Greeks Bearing Gifts
Rating: None
Word count: 915
Notes: Betaed by the patient jadesfire2808, many thanks for your help. Shameless fluff, inspired by yet another thing that's cluttering my desk. Written for tw_wotd_fic's prompt 'ameliorate' and finished for the Finish-a-Thon. I am bad, because there are already more WiPs on my harddrive... Comments are love, I'll crawl back into bed now.

Title: Random Gloves
Summary: What if Eugene hadn't owned an alien Eye, but an alien Glove?
Characters: Eugene, Jack Harkness
Spoilers: Random Shoes
Rating: None
Word count: 451
Notes: Written for tw_wotd_fic's prompt 'Vicissitude'. Unbetaed, so as always, please point out any mistakes you spot. This is actually my first intentional AU fic ever. I wonder if it works... it was only written so I could distract myself from the frelling 42 MILLION EUROS in the lottery jackpot. I WANT THEM NOW!

Rating: None
Word count: 1788
Notes: Uhm, it kind of hit me that I never intended the first part to end where I did, but it took me some time to find the second half for this story. Thanks again to xwingace for the simply excellent help with this. It wouldn't be here without her. Inspired by tw_wotd_fic's prompt 'terminus'.
