For the past month or two I've spent a delightful amount of time alpha and beta reading zortified's new Torchwood fic. Luckily for her, I am unemployed and hormonal, so reading a 22,000 word baby!fic six times has been a pleasure.

Well, it's sort of baby!fic. It's sort of mpreg. But mainly it is a lovely story about (grown up) people and relationships and most importantly, happy endings, which is very satisfying in these post-CoE days. It's also a joy to see a fic written post-CoE that still makes use of all those other tasty spots in canon from S1 & S2 that are so fertile for fic writing.

It was already gleemaking when James first sent it to me, and her cleverness in the characterisation and dynamics have just been honed over the many drafts and re-writing.

In summary: shiny! Read - And You Will Know Her By the Smile in Her Eyes (link to Dreamwidth, where it's all in one post, or you can read it in three parts on LJ starting here).
