Genre: crack, teamfic, het, femslash, slash, humour.
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Various permutations, duplications and confabulations of Tosh, Owen, Ianto & Gwen.
Warnings: See: 'Pairings'. Also: group sex, slapstick, abuse of science, abuse of fashion, abuse of Whoniverse minutiae, liberal advantages taken of 'alien tech'. Spoilers for things that occur up to the end of season 2 of Torchwood and season 3 of Doctor Who.

Notes: This would never have happened without Karen's stellar enabling. Thanks also to friends who encouraged and enthused throughout the process, and big thanks for invaluable editing help to emeraldwoman, elouisa & sizeoftheocean.

Summary: Jack's a captive on the Valiant and the Master has initiated the extinction of humanity. Meanwhile, in Cardiff, the imminent threat has triggered a lockdown of the Hub, trapping the Torchwood Three team inside. For a year. (A "year-that-wasn't" story of exceeding silliness.)

You are a bitchface. I read this last night, late, and started crying when they saw the "mysterious" blood on the floor and then pretty much didn't stop from that point. (As such, I haven't read Karen's alternate ending yet, but I will. Its time will come.)

But yes, it's an awesome story, awesomely crafted, sad, hot, funny, a little gross. Owen and Tosh, my baaaaaabbbbbbzzzzzzz :(((( I am way too lolsensitive about them, still. And your grasp of their characters really made me feel that. Like, it felt like canon, so aswell as the crack, the little hints of stuff coming really worked. Tosh seeing the two Owens in the shower kind of shook me up a bit too. And yeah, I loved reading it.

Look, we both know I loved it from all those excerpts you sent me anyhow! But the fact that you managed to keep me reading from a screen in the late night, also speaks volumes about how very enjoyable and absorbing this was. Anyway, yes A+++, would read again three times, and might just do once I've printed it out. Or someone has printed it out for me. :DDDD <--- That is a genuine smile and not a smiley hint.

And I did not actually write the promised crack ending even though I promised: emeraldwoman stepped into the breach, though!
