The big run down house on Kipling Lane was the stuff of legends. Some people said it was haunted; some said terrible things had happened there; some said it should be condemned and pulled down. And just about every set of parents had banned their kids from ever going there, worried about the dangers of… View Post
As the boat chugged along the Bristol Channel, headed back towards Cardiff, it could have been any normal Sunday afternoon boat ride. Just two friends who had spent a relaxing, sunny day out on one of the islands. Maybe they’d enjoyed a picnic in one of the many grassed areas available. Or maybe they’d climbed… View Post
Ianto looked on in wry amusement as his team filed back into the Hub. He had sent them out in search of the supposed meteorite, wanting to make sure that that was all it was. Things hadn’t gone quite how he had hoped: the army and police had arrived at the crash site before Torchwood… View Post

At Torchwood, a different kind of clean up was happening. Ianto had already locked the glove and knife away the previous night, but he and Jack still had to go through Suzie’s computer and remove any case files relating to her research. They had also recovered a few items of alien technology during their sweep… View Post
The day of the Battle of Canary Wharf, Torchwood London As Ianto exited the lift on that ill-fated morning, he noticed a young girl sitting in the waiting area. At the time, he had thought it strange that someone so young would be sitting unattended in the Torchwood building. He wondered briefly about the strange… View Post
Jack watched Ianto storm out of the boardroom, too shocked to even think about trying to stop him. He glanced at the photograph of himself with the Captain again. How had that photo even been taken? Jack was sure Bilis hadn’t been on the dance floor with them and he hadn’t seen the flash from… View Post
Owen was starting to get fidgety. His hands shook from the effort of keeping himself under control after the shock of seeing and touching Diane and he just couldn’t seem to sit still. He had lost track of how long he had been left alone in the boardroom. Since Ianto had been taken away and… View Post
Ianto looked up, suddenly aware he had sat there looking at the photo in his hand for several minutes. Jack had always been a flirt; Ianto knew that. He had accepted it long ago and it had never been an issue for him. Ianto was confident that no matter how much Jack flirted he would… View Post
Time seemed to stand still as the two groups stared at each other. The Torchwood team looking down from the boardroom, and Bilis Manger and the committee looking up from where they had spread out around the Hub. Ianto looked over to Jack from where he was seated at the table. “Jack, that’s Bilis Manger…”… View Post
The three hours it took for Ianto to revive was the first time Jack had had a chance to slow down after returning to the current time. It gave Jack plenty of time to think about what had happened and what could have happened. Jack felt something approaching guilt as it started to sink in… View Post
As a young girl growing up in Cardiff, Suzita Naidoo was a happy child. Too young to sense the ever-growing tension between her parents, she relished the attention she reaped from both of them. As she grew older though, her mother’s growing depression after a miscarriage, her father’s increasing temper and bad moods, the both… View Post
Jack stared at Owen, shock written all over his face. The last thing Jack had expected to hear was that Ianto was still alive. “How?” Owen looked at Suzie uncertainly. How had Jack even known something had happened to Ianto? They deliberately hadn’t said anything to Gwen while she was at The Ritz, wanting Jack… View Post
Unable to find anything of interest, Gwen came out of The Ritz. She turned back and looked around outside of the building when she heard some music coming from within. A voice from behind her made her jump. “Can I help you?” Gwen gasped and turned around. “I’m the caretaker. Bilis Manger at your service.”… View Post
As he stood there with the pain shooting through his arm, the world around Jack turned dark, his eyes closed and the sounds of the 1940s faded away. Jack saw himself back in the Hub. He saw Owen and Suzie standing in front of Tosh’s workstation, looking at a series of rift alerts. A fresh… View Post
When Ianto awoke the following morning, he was alone. He stretched out in the empty bed with a quiet sigh and tried not to feel too disappointed. Even though he preferred to wake up with Jack there with him, he was no longer surprised when Jack disappeared during the night. He also knew it had… View Post
