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.

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.)

Hello! I just read this and I wanted to tell you that it's amazing. You succeeded in it being cracky and incredibly creative, while at the same time being daunting and terrifying. In fact, my favorite parts were the most terrifying including Tosh's future blood in the autopsy bay and the scenes from Cyberwoman. And you did it in such a way that wasn't obvious, but subtle and surprising.

I love a good long story that ties up all its loose ends -- where no event or mention goes unwasted. This was brilliant. Absolutely.

Thank you so much!

I'm glad that the more serious parts worked; I started this off as a crackfic but it really took on a life of its own by that point!

So, yay! :D

Also, that icon is made of win.
