Torchwood/Highlander Crossover

[idontlikegravy]

This is a sequel to Death Comes as the Beginning . It doesn't follow directly in the timeline, and I'll probably write another that fits in between them.

Unbeta'd so all concrit welcome.

Disclaimer: Torchwood and Highlander don't belong to me, I just do this for fun, not profit.

I like the idea of Glyndwr's sword being unbeatable; even if his rebellion ultimately failed no-one really knows what happened to him. It's just the sort of thing Jack would know about, and I think it's a lovely touch that Jack wants Ianto to have the sword knowing that story - and knowing Ianto will know it too. Awww.

Thank you, I'm pleased you like it. I look to you as my guru for Torchwood/Highlander ;-)

Cheers again for the icon link earlier, as you can see I followed it!

[aeron_lanart]

I think I like the idea of being a guru. Do I get naked slave tea boys? Or girls for that matter?

The mini icons are great, I've been severely tempted by the Top Gear ones recently...

[idontlikegravy]

hmm, dunno, I'll have to examine the fine print...

I took some Top Gear ones, but haven't used them yet - I've only one precious space free at the moment! And I couldn't resist the Father Ted ones.

OMG SQUEE.

I'm more pleased that Ianto gets a half-bastard sword than the Owain thing. Hee. Bastard.

[idontlikegravy]

heh. makes me snicker every time I write Richie a fight. *grin*

[aeron_lanart]

My ex has a Bastard sword; I wonder if this is significant? I do find it rather amusing I have to admit.

I'm also kind of genetically biased toward the Glyndwr thing as my great grandmother was a Welsh speaker and a formidable woman which makes me inordinately proud of my Welsh heritage.

[idontlikegravy]

As well you should be :)

I've recently bought a copy of a Tintin (Cigars of the Pharaoh obviously) in Welsh and one in English in the hopes I might be able to learn more than how to count to ten and say hello, cheers & happy saint David's day. And thanks to Gavin and Stacy, I seem to have got my accent back!

nice... I like the dynamic between the three of them. Very sweet of Jack to get Ianto that sword, especially for all that it means.

[idontlikegravy]

Thank you. :)

*Nods appreciatively*

Very nice, I love it that Owain Glyndwr's sword is in the Torchwood archives. Very satisfying and appropriate.

[idontlikegravy]

That's what I thought, glad you agree. And if it makes people find out about Owain Glyndwr, so much the better :)*waves Welsh flag*

This is a really nice follow-up, and even more when I opened a new tab to investigate who was Owain Glyndwr.
In my defense, South American schools system is not really strong on Welsh story.
But I should had know he was Owain IV, Prince of Wales. I live in a town founded by Welsh people!!!
Anyway, I love the idea of Jack getting that sword ready for Ianto, and the words he says as give it to him :)

[idontlikegravy]

heh, that's okay, I'm Welsh but because I was raised and educated in England, I didn't learn about him in school, I had to get a book from the library. Glad I made you smile :)
