The Harkness Variations. Story VIII was the inspiration for this story. My undying thanks to Sam for creating a world (and letting me play in it!) in 100 words that took me 20,000+ to write.
My thanks to
wethepainted for creating the utterly beautiful art to accompany this story. She encapsulated in her art the Lisa who had been in my head since I started *thinking* about writing this story and I cannot thank her enough for that.
My thanks also to
torn_eledhwen for being amongst other things: a damn good beta and editor, an even better friend and for listening to me while I bent her ear over this story over some very nice crepes before the DW Prom this year. Thank you again.
TARIS Wiki states the date of the Battle of Canary Wharf to be July 2007. Hence this story starts in June 2006 and ends early August 2007.
Hypertext links will take you to wikipedia pages or youtube videos that may or may not clarify some details of the story.
Summary: July 2006, Lisa Hallett of Torchwood: London is recruited by the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness of Torchwood: Cardiff to be his Executive Officer. This is the story of her first year.
