My good deed for the day

[lonelybrit]

Well, my good deed for the day if like me you know you're en route to the lower reaches in a handbasket, so to speak. Torchwood fic rec:

Moving In by ukcalico.
Hot as hell but also so, so wrong on pretty much every level. If you want a prime example of why any Jack/Ianto action before Cyberwoman would have been a really bad idea, this would be one. Poor Jack is completely oblivious as to how he just continues making things so much worse (it's done from his POV). And Ianto really has no-one to blame but himself, but even so it's painful to realise just how much all this is destroying him. The phrase 'train wreck' springs to mind... Definitely not work safe, but most definitely worth a read.

And what a good deed it is...I'm still in a happy place thanks to that fic and the one I read (and reced) over at my journal today. Our fandom is bringing all the good fic the yard *nods*

It is typical of this fandom, you wait months for the really well written fics to come along and then a whole bundle turn up without 24 hours of each other :)

I read that and now I'm suffering the effects of Brilliant Fic Syndrome, which include seizures, blindness and brain leakage. I can't get over how perfectly fucked-up that was. Not to mention hot.

Bless you, child. Once I recover I shall leave some hearty feedback.

I have to admit, I did have to take a moment out around half-way through to keep the brain of utterly melting down. It wasn't just the holyjesushot smut but all the undercurrents and everything we knew was going on that Jack didn't and so how we could really see what Ianto's reactions were all about and oh oh oh...

Glad to have passed on a little happy brain leakage :)

Oh, poor Ianto! But dayum that was hot! I do seem to like my men a little broken and disturbed, though. The fictional ones, anyway. ;P

It does seem to be a trait of any fandom that the favourite characters get well and truly screwed over in every possible sense of the word and on every level, the more broken they are the greater we love them :)
