Torchwood: Monday Recs
As many of you know, I'm one of the editors for torchwood_three, and over the last six weeks we've been trying something out called the "Editor's Choice", where an editor updating the newsletter can pick something from that days postings and reccomend it to the world-- er, well, everyone who reads the newsletter that is!
Since I've been reccing Torchwood stuffs for the past six weeks, I thought I may as well start posting my recs here, for those of you poor people not watching the newsletter ;) there's no escaping it now! heh.
Editor's Choice: Employee Relations by entangled_now [Ianto/Owen | 18-Rated]
Why I liked it: Never before has the thought of being covered in 'purple intestines' appealed to me. But if my situation ever ended up like Ianto and Owen's did, I'd be one mighty happy girl. Hot, delicious and utterly satisfying a read.
Editor's Choice: Shine (Chapter 1) by pike2 [Crossover: Torchwood/Doctor Who | | PG-13]
Why I liked it: There's not alot in fiction that suprises me, I'm pretty good at guessing where a fic is going by the time we get there. The ending to this first chapter however actually made me gasp! I look forward to seeing where the author will take this.
Editor's Choice: Clouds Beyond The Branches by elke_tanzer [Jack/Estelle | G-Rated]
Why I liked it: Remember what I said about unconventional pairings? Well, okay, so at least Jack/Estelle is canon, but it's also rare and that's what called out to me. Beatifully written and enchanting to read, even if it is het ;)
Editor's Choice: Torchwood doodles by luinecu [Jack, Ianto | G-Rated]
Why I liked it: Because art is pretty to oogle and those two boys are even more so, even if they are just doodles! heh.
Editor's Choice: Big Coat Man FanArt by ryuuri_chan [Toddler Jack and Ianto]
Why I liked it: Because the boys look so darn cute in this piece, it's hard not to gush over it and want to pinch their little cartoon-y cheeks. XD
Editor's Choice: Pub, Lies and Banana Boats by toestastegood [Owen/Rhys | PG-13]
Why I liked it: Because unconventional pairings are love, and the characterisations are just spot on- it's a story you can actually believe would happen, especially with the bittersweetness of the ending.
I have to admit though that the Editor's Choice feature is one of the only things keeping me in touch with the fandom side of Torchwood at the moment, which is a little sad but also something that cannot be helped just yet. Course this also means that I'm only reading the things posted on a Monday, and am missing all the other brilliant stuffs posted throughout the week, but still, Monday's are something at least! XD
