Second Dance. Third Glance. (crossover fic, 1/1, Firefly/Torchwood)
A follow-up, three years later in my time and River's, to Cover Stories, which I wrote for the Defabricathon over at fic_orphanage. This story will make less sense if you don't read that first, but it's not absolutely necessary, and the tone is very different. Thanks to honorh for the beta, the Horsechicks, and airawyn and grimorie for reading and liking, and Boiled in Lead for

Thursday night? Farscape and phone call? Or maybe this coming weekend instead?

And yes, Thursday good! ALthough this weekend is also open too.
*bounces* It's so cool to finally write the sequel after two and and a half years....

Also, I really love this story. And hate you completely for your facility with words and imagery. You write such an awesome River voice for your POV (without making her have a Dru voice, which is hard for some people), and your Jack is a little broken too, but without letting the breaks incapacitate him, or remove his essential humanity (which he does seem to be worried about, though), and God, this story is so damn good. Seriously. I hate you. Lots. (Stop laughing at me!)

*giggling* Ahem. *is trying not to giggle at you, but it is difficult*
*claps hands that you picked up on the Jack changes and his chief worry, though, yay!*

BTW, I recced you here. Because I hate you just that much for your fic-writing skills. ;)
Oh, Jack. The stuff that makes him interesting to me is all of what's buried beneath the facade that he shows to people. *pets him*

It's such a *good* facade, though. Did you see last week's Torchwood yet? *flails at wonderfulness of that Out of Gas -type ep.*

Sorry! horsechicks is kind of dead, so I started posting all my fic and recs there instead. Plus given that I wrote, um, 80 or so fics last year? I figured I wanted one central place for posting, you know?
I didn't! I'm so far behind on Torchwood and Doctor Who. Partly that's because I keep getting obsessed with obscure Canadian and Australian TV shows.

It is a bit, although we posted links there and stuff to our latest stories. I need to post a whole slew of recs, or at least a link to the de.licio.us page that I've got now, with the bookmarks and mini-recs.
Aww, but at least you have stuff to look forward to, and Dr. Who comes back in mmm, 3 weeks? We've got the S2 finale to Torchwood in 2 weeks. Gah! *is on pins & needles there*

I should really post a link to my fic page there, but then again, I need to post a bunch of my fics and update my fic page, and I'm thinking about picking up a domain again to archive my fics at. Too much to do to properly organize and archive and back-up, and never enough time.
I do have stuff to look forward to, admittedly. Part of it is that Mr. Havoc is definitively an old school Who fan, so getting him to watch the new stuff is sometimes tough. And I don't really want to sit down and watch it by my lonesome, so I'm actually behind by most of the Martha stuff in Who, and only partway through s1 of Torchwood. (I'd call wiliqueen, but she's irked by TW for the same reason that I enjoy it: They're all flawed characters who fuck up a lot. I love that they're flawed heroes and almost-heroes. So possibly this is not a show she and I should watch together.)

I need to update the *heck* out of the Chaos Horizon-- a bunch of links got lost in there, somewhere, and of course it's got the wrong e-mail addy on there too.
And yeah, Torchwood is like that... though at least in Season 2, they're making them more likeable as they screw up, and also letting them learn from their dumb mistakes. I forgive a lot for that.
Tell Mr. Havoc that he is missing Daleks, darnit. *pouts at him *

You really, really do. I was trying to rec EA and it wasn't there! So I went to Heliopolis. (Did Dee ever finalize the Horsechick fic archive? I know she put it up, but I don't know if she ever finalized it.)
I think Mr. Havoc is a little tired of Daleks, actually, since apparently RTD is very big on bringing the Daleks and the Cybermen out whenever he needs an antagonist. Or something like that.

*winces* And yes, Dee did, and that's a good place for me to put up stuff. Easier to update. Although I do love my little page; I just need to have better links. Le sigh.

Ahhh. Well, not untrue. Especially given how dead they're supposed to be. I like them probably because I haven't seen 5 versions of them die before, or know the backstory being retconned *again* from anything other than wikipedia. Which Doctor did he start watching? (Me, it was 5 & 7, and later 4, so my tastes are little atypical.)
