Standard Disclaimer: Being a bloke who likes to slash good looking men doesn't make me RTD, I don't work for the BBC, and as much as I might like to, I don't own Jack or Ianto or any part of Torchwood. I do, however, order pizza under that name on principle.

Episodic Fic
Title: Hatful of Hollow
Rating: Ranges from PG to NC-17
Pairing(s):Jack/Ianto with occasional mention of others
Notes/Summary: My behind-the-scenes Jack/Ianto story. Starts just post "Countrycide" and finishes up at the end of S1 (with just a dash of "Last of the Time Lords"). Canon-friendly, includes material and dialogue from eps, deleted scenes, and the website.

Title: Adam
Rating: Ranges from PG to R/NC-17
Notes/Summary: No one knows what happened to the real Ianto Jones. A longer treatment of the "Adam" short piece.
( Episode Links )

Disambiguation AU
Rating: Ranges from PG to NC-17
Notes/Summary: Disambiguation sprang from a one-off fic I wrote at damalan's suggestion. It's a sandbox where I explore the exploits of a parallel Torchwood where the events of "End of Days" don't go as smoothly as they do in canon and Jack is still looking for the Doctor. Features Andy Davidson as a member of the team.

The Original
In which Ianto gets to know himself a little better.
Disambiguation (NC-17) (Ianto/Ianto, Jack/Ianto)

Disambiguation: In These Stones
In which we meet the team, Ianto heeds his own advice, and Andy has a profoundly bad day.
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, Ianto/Owen, and mention of Ianto/Ianto. Possible hints and sideways mention of other pairings.

"Montmartre" cluster
Rating: Varies (PG to R)
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, Jack/Other (some OMC, historical)
Notes/Summary: A non-episodic group of loosely-connected stories, mostly about Jack's past. A work in progress, written and presented out of order.
( Story Links )

"It'll End in Tears" cluster
Rating: Adult (Varies)
Pairings: Ianto/Andy
Notes/Summary: A semi-episodic group of Ianto/Andy stories, presented in (mostly) chronological order. Kinky, and a little cruel. Also a work in progress, and will include stories from my un_love_you prompt table. (You can find that here, by the way.)

Doctor Who Crossovers
The Doctor Still Dances (PG-13 - Jack/Ten, mention of others)
Three Girl Rhumba (PG)

Other Crossovers
Oh! You Pretty Things (NC-17) (Jack/Chris Skelton from Life on Mars)
Out of His Range (PG) (Crossover with Being Human)

Horizons Sing
Rating: Varies
Pairings: Ianto/Jack
Notes/Summary: My fics for the 2008 horizonssing challenge. Not a series, or even a cluster, but all take place between 2x13 - "Exit Wounds" and Doctor Who 4x13 - "Journey's End". May contain spoilers and explicit references to events from both S1 and S2 of Torchwood, and Doctor Who S1-S4.

Prompt Table Fic
My stolen fanfic100 self-generated, custom table can be found here.

My Ianto/Andy un_love_you table can be found here.

So a while back, for my convenience, I nicked a 10/10 prompt table from fanfic100. I didn't much want to participate in the challenge as written, or bother with the community aspect but I liked the idea of trying to write 100 pieces that clock in at 100 words.

Problem is, I felt terribly guilty about stealing the table. I know, I know. So I built a new one, keeping some of the categories, but making sure that they didn't match up with the original.

So now, without further ado:

( 100 Useful (Not-So-Stolen) Things )

This week's WIAD:

"30 June, 1908"
Rating: Mostly Harmless
Challenge: One or more Torchwood operatives are lost in the forest with 7 items in their pockets. Must include a native woodland creature.
Summary: Sometimes, when the past catches up with Jack, it does it literally.

So I've secretly (or not-so-secretly) playing in the side yard with round four of writerinadrawer. We're using AO3 this time around, which is sort of brilliant. Because the first few weeks are always short on word count, I've been holding off on posting until I had enough to really write home about. Enjoy! Comments can go here or over at AO3.

4x01 - "And The Card Attached Would Say..."
Rating: Mostly Harmless
Challenge: Should use "I've been waiting for this..." in dialogue and feature a television show from the 20th Century.
Summary: Owen Harper discovers some of the hazards of receiving personal mail at work.

4x02 - "Bigger Than a China Shop"
Rating: Mostly Harmless
Challenge: A character is awakened by an unexpected sound. Must feature at least two words in a foreign language.
Summary: In which a surveillance assignment doesn't go according to plan.

4x03 - "The Art of Tragedy Was Born in Masks"
Rating: Mostly Harmless
Challenge: Must use a Sports Night episode title as a prompt. I chose "Thespis." Must also include or make reference to an invertebrate.
Summary: Below Torchwood's Cardiff base, who Ianto Jones is may be subjective.

4x04 - "Back Lot Rivalry"
Rating: Mostly Harmless
Challenge: A story in which Torchwood has to set up shop away from the Hub for an extended period. Must feature at least 3 colors of the rainbow.
Summary: Ianto might trust Harwood's to transport goods, but the staff is another matter.

I haven't entirely been avoiding fandom. Because I contributed a little something to this:





Torchwood Virtual Series 3

Outside the government, beyond the police. The last surviving members of Torchwood Three are Earth's final line of defense against an alien universe and …



After the deaths of Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper, Torchwood must start again. Understaffed and overworked, they pick up the pieces under the command of Jack Harkness: time traveler, soldier, Companion and Captain. Along with Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones, Torchwood stands in the face of a swiftly changing universe, facing off against adversaries both terrestrial and alien, while struggling with their own very human hopes and fears.

In the third (virtual) series of Torchwood, secrets are held and revealed, lives are transformed in ways no one expects, and the Earth itself will never be the same.

Episode one is already live, and we've also got captain's logs, additional episode materials, and generally the most dedicated team of people running this show I have ever seen. Go check us out!

In light of the disaster in Haiti, I've put my spare copies of three Torchwood spin-off novels -- Something in the Water, Trace Memory, and The Twilight Streets up for auction on eBay to benefit Doctors Without Borders (aka MSF)¹. Bidding starts at $5 US for the set. Cover price on these is a little under $36 US.

100% of the proceeds go to DWB/MSF, and I'm effectively going halfsies on shipping with the auction winner (the domestic US rate for a medium-sized Flat Rate Box is about $10)².

¹ I'd offer to write you something, but I'm two charity projects from 2009 behind at the moment, and that would be rude.

²Dogon eye NOT included with purchase. Even if there was, I know how that sort of thing ends. Badly. Banana milkshakes or no.

Title: "One Cup"
Disclaimer: I'm not RTD, I don't work for the BBC, and as much as I might like to, I don't own Jack or Ianto or any part of Torchwood. I do, however, order pizza under that name on principle.
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, wildly understated
Rating: PG
Notes/Summary: In which all Ianto Jones wants is one cup of coffee. Just one. Written for the January 11 prompt at redismycolour (and posted a day late since I took last night off).

( What the others don’t realize is that Ianto doesn’t arrive early to work out of some bizarre OCD tic that requires him to put everything in order before they disorder it. )

Title: "A Bad Bargain"
Disclaimer: I'm not RTD, I don't work for the BBC, and as much as I might like to, I don't own Jack or Ianto or any part of Torchwood. I do, however, order pizza under that name on principle.
Pairings: Jack/Ianto
Rating: PG
Notes/Summary: In which snow days do not occur. Written for the January 9 prompt at redismycolour.

( The ground’s too warm. )

Title: "The Beautiful Lull"
Disclaimer: I'm not RTD, I don't work for the BBC, and as much as I might like to, I don't own Jack or Ianto or any part of Torchwood. I do, however, order pizza under that name on principle.
Pairings: Jack/Ianto
Rating: PG
Notes/Summary: In which a shop owner knows the score. Written for the January 7 prompt at redismycolour.

( Jack gets a little lost at the costume shop, which surprises Ianto not at all. )

Title: "Goes To White"
Disclaimer: I'm not RTD, I don't work for the BBC, and as much as I might like to, I don't own Jack or Ianto or any part of Torchwood. I do, however, order pizza under that name on principle.
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, albeit understated
Rating: PG
Notes/Summary: In which the cold is a thing to be reckoned with. Written for the January 5 prompt at redismycolour.

( If Ianto had the presence of mind to describe his actions, he’d call it a desperate attempt to get warm. )
