Torchwood Meta: For Different Values of Love by cupidsbow

[cupidsbow]

You've probably all noticed that I've been watching Torchwood and reading the fanfic lately. What you probably haven't yet realised is that I think I've... um... sort of... fallen into fannish love

I loved reading this and I'm smiling to consider the possibilities.

I'm also smiling to appreciate being able to live a life I love, with people I love.

I love the scope of it, I love the flexibility and fluidity of it.

I love falling in love. I love seeing K and Cam falling, and -being- in love. It brings me so much joy, and I find it hard to articulate to people who don't understand this why... it isn't that I consider it obvious... probably because it isn't. But the best answer I have is a 'moreness'.

K having Cam has brought -more- love and affection to my life - more time, and quality and appreciation. Not less... I am not quite sure how/why the equation works, but I am -revelling- in it.

This isn't to say that there aren't hard bits. But I can trust the two of them, and my other partner to talk to me, know that I can talk to them, and so it is all opportunity and possibility rather than scary and doom like.

I experience Jack as someone who just loves - sometimes fleeting attraction, and sometimes friendship, and sometimes deeper and different - I'd love to read stories that explored this! I experience him as someone who sees that inner beauty, that attractiveness and sensuality/appeal of people.

I experience Ianto as someone with possibility - I don't get that he's made his mind up, I do get that he's inspired and I do get that he wants it to work and is willing to work for it. I would love to read stories about his exploration of it all and taking it on and getting it and failing and trying again etc...

Also, I'd love to read several kinds of the stories mentioned throughout the comments.

I am glad though, that Doctor Who, with the OT3 has some awesome stories that are not all fluff porn, or plotless or jealousy/falling apart/cheating etc.... there's some awesome storylines and explorations. I really enjoy that, and I'm often re-smitten by the characters.

Okay... this is me, babbling again.
