Fic Of The Week - Week One Hundred And Sixty Eight
Here we go again! Late... Oops!
This week's fic is another 11-parter from October 2010. It's also a Children of Earth fix-it.
Ynys Roana is by moonfirefic, and is a kind of folklore fantasy in which Ianto is not exactly human.
Summary: When Martha brought Ianto’s body back to the newly rebuilt Torchwood Three, she never expected a selkie, a mythical creature of the sea, to revive him and take him beneath the waves. Now seven years later, she has a chance to bring Ianto back, and it’s up to the fragments of Torchwood and their allies to find Jack, and convince him to call Ianto home.
Notes: Ynys is Welsh for island, and roana a derivative of roane which is Welsh for seal. Selkies are magical half-seal half-human creatures found in the folklore of the British Isles. This story is heavily influenced by tales my Nana
used to tell by the fireside of her seaside house near Bantry, Ireland. There's a dash of the movie The Secret of Roan Inish, a smidgen of The Seal Children by Jackie Morris, and a liberal dusting of Irish family traditions (Nana still smoors the fire nightly - albeit with a more traditional prayer).
