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
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
Unusually for him, Jack hadn’t found himself a tall building to stand on top of. He was in fact currently standing across the road from his grandson’s school, watching him from a distance. Jack did this from time to time, just checked in to see how Steven was growing up, how he was getting on.… View Post
Ianto, Jack and Owen gathered around Tosh, who was sitting at her workstation, as they assessed their current situation. “Everything’s gone. The computers, mobile coverage, lifts, everything. We’re sealed in.” Tosh looked up at Ianto helplessly. “If Suzie set up the lockdown, how did she do it?” “Entered an override?” Owen suggested. “No, she’s officially… View Post
Eleven Months Earlier Owen stormed into the Hub, complaining about being wet and cold and how he was never doing that again, no matter who told him to, and bollocks to how important it was. Jack followed closely behind, an enormous grin on his face, clearly amused by Owen’s ranting. He was carrying a container… View Post
Two unknown dark-haired women were driving in a car, speeding down a long, empty road in the endless darkness. Maybe they were driving towards a hospital, maybe they were escaping from something one of them had done. The driver, who was somehow now Gwen Cooper, turned and smiled. “A bit more colour in your cheeks,”… View Post
When the committee was first formed in 1879, there were originally eleven members. After a short while, two members in particular had impressed the Crown that much with their ability to get things happening that they were soon elevated to be senior members. Unbeknown to anyone else the two of them had a hidden agenda.… View Post
Out of all the thoughts that had flown through Tosh’s mind over the last couple of days – be they those of her own or those of others – none were more frantically bewildering than those that started swirling about her head while Suzie was kissing her. And then when to her surprise, she found… View Post
