This is quite homoerotic.

Gah. I hate insomnia. On plus side, I love fanfiction, so at least I have something to keep me entertained.

I have been reading a lot of awesome Torchwood fic. Here are some I can highly recommend:

The Doctor and Mr. Jones by sam_storyteller
Crossoverish with Doctor Who (i.e. the Doctor is in it), AU but I won't elaborate because I don't want to spoil. Long, excellent story and twists and glee! Some Jack/Ianto. Ianto-centric but with excellent team & Jack stuff in there too!

W-Section by basingstoke
JACK-PREG. MADE OF SO MUCH AWESOME AND CLEVER AND FUNNY. Jack-centric, obv. It's only short. Read it!

Stranded by ceefax_the_sane
Jack/Ianto/Tentacled Alien. Also made of awesome, and quite long. Not unlike the tentacles.

Proof of Your Existence by sarcasticchick
Again, AU and I will not elaborate because it will spoil. But it is also awesome, long, and full of twists. And has lovely Jack/Ianto in it too. Again Ianto-centric, but with nice team (Tosh!) stuff too.

Negotiations by ukcalico
I had to take a moment when I discovered that Calico wrote TW fic, before I even clicked on the link. This lives up to expectations. Ianto/John Hart(/Jack). Tres NC-17.

Nemo Me Impune Lacessit by derryderrydown
Whee, vintage soldier porn and amnesia!! What better? Oh wait, 2 Jacks. BINGO! Jack/Ianto centric.

And of course, I can't NOT rec: Trying to Communicate by sam_storyteller. The Torchwood 3 Hub is invaded by a LOLCAT.


People, rec me your favourites! I really have been mining delicious, it's been quite utterly tasty. I don't know if you could combine tags before, but I never knew how to, and dear god I love it. I can just about forgive it everything else.

I am really enjoying the fic in this fandom. I think in part because I was burnt out on the pathos of Supernatural slash (not that that's a bad quality for it to have; it had its time and place in my life!). I can see how Torchwood is considered "dark" in comparison to Who, but really, it has all the permissibility of the Supernatural 'verse (more, really, with Capn Jack), but with much less guilt!sex. Be it with other humans or non-humans. So much entertaining glee. The characters are clearly enjoying themselves!*

* I have been avoiding the angsty LISAAARRR fics, though, but I do know they're out there.

Also, it's delightful to be fannish about a show that has lovely canonical queerness. Even though the lesbian plots were somewhat troublesome. Boykissing! I'll not say no to that!


Hmm, I wonder if I should do a daily posting of delicious links to my LJ?

Dear god, I have to wake up in less than 5 hours. NOOOOOOOOOOO /hammy

AWESOME. Jack is my second-favourite!

Your delicious was one of the first places I swung by, but that was back when I was just dipping my toes in. Woot! Thank you!

[semplice.livejournal.com]

Any particular characters/pairings you're after?

I'll see if I can dig up my favourites when I get home!

I have a rather long list of Torchwood recs:

[hope]

Hurrah! Thank you!! :D

[semplice.livejournal.com]

Um. Have you read the Torchwood-go-to-the-Himalayas fic? It doesn't have Jack in it, but it was GREAT. I wish I had all my Torchwood bookmarks on this computer. My memory is shoddy at best.

[semplice.livejournal.com]

Okay think I found it. Kingdom of Air (http://ninjasnano.livejournal.com/tag/kingdom+of+air).

Also, I saw "Random Clocks" on someone's rec list up there. If you've not already read it, READ IT, IT IS GREAT.

And hey, while I'm at it, I wrote this (http://community.livejournal.com/torchwoodslash/200335.html#cutid1) which is technically Ianto/Owen but not really. Um. I'll stop editing this comment now.
