TW fic series: The Alcohol Annals (Five Stories)
The Alcohol Annals
Five stories about being drunk; one for each member of the Torchwood Team. Stories are connected by theme only, and don't fit into an overall continuity. So you can read one, some, or all of them! Or you could read none of them, but that would be sad. :/
Individual headers beneath the cut; all links go to my journal.
In the order they were written:
Ianto
Title: Ain't it Drunky Now
Rating: PG
Word Count: 856
Setting: Season 2, but brief spoilers only for Captain Jack Harkness
A/N: Written for a prompt given to me by order_of_chaos: "Ianto, in the ballroom, with a candlestick." No candlestick, but I'm sure she'll forgive me. I'm eminently forgivable. ^_^ Title adapted from the James Brown song, "Ain't it Funky Now."
Summary: There are mysterious doings in a ballroom. Again. That's not really what this fic is about, though. What this fic is really about is Ianto being drunk.
Teaser: Ianto, nose as red as a cherry, performing a loose-limbed jitterbug in a sunbeam. His shoes go clack-shuffle on the parquet floor and he sways into a spin, blue and black striped tie flying out.
"Almost makes you wish there was music playing," says Jack.
Gwen
Title: Fantastically Drunk
Rating: PG
Setting: Post S2; implicit spoilers
Pairings: very very mild Jack/Ianto/Gwen
Word Count: 635
Summary: Gwen is one of those happy drunks.
Teaser: Ianto looked very handsome with orange strokes of sunset slathered on his nose and cheeks, although that might not have been on purpose, or even very helpful. Jack appreciated it anyway. Gwen appreciated Jack's coat buttons, and rubbed them with the tips of her fingers.
Jack
Title: Pinch Drunk
Rating: PG-13 for sexual content, mild swearing
Word Count: 2,135
Warning: Algolagnia, n. - sexual pleasure derived from physical pain
Setting: Pre-S1
Characters: Pre-S1 teamfic, heavy on the Owen and light on the Ianto
Pairings: Owen/Suzie, Suzie/Jack
Summary: Jack isn't drunk, exactly, but he's still gonna be fun to mess with.
Teaser: Owen has his computer hooked up to read-outs from the vault cells so he can study the psychology of the masochistic pandas because he has a theory. Anyone who likes pain, he asserts, must be an idiot. Letting Rachel Gibson spank him with a ruler in the final year of med school doesn't count because he was temporarily insane on account of her being blonde and really good at the sexy school teacher thing. And Christ, she had nice legs.
Tosh
Title: Drunkling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup
Word Count: 1,968
Rating: PG for porn
Pairing: Jack/Tosh/Ianto
Warning: Schmoopy. And how.
Summary: Toshiko performs a sacred ceremony to become a priest-mechanic (passing aliens have a habit of needing repairs) and then gets to dance. She's drunk, Ianto's overwhelmed, and Jack is angling for a cuddlefest threesome. More saccharine than it sounds.
A/N: Title derived and lyrics included from "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup," written by Anna Sosenko and performed by Nat King Cole.
Teaser: Ianto brushed his lips against her hairline, wondering how she managed to be so small and soft. Wondering how he had kept himself from noticing it this long or, to be honest, had kept himself from noticing that he'd noticed. He was always more careful when he stirred the sugar in her coffee.
Owen
Title: Bitter Drunk
Rating: R for language
Word Count: 608
Characters: Team minus Jack
Setting: Between S1 and S2
Summary: Owen's a bitter, ranting drunk. That doesn't mean he's wrong, though.
Teaser: Owen wavered unsteadily on the edge of the medical table, gripping the lip with both hands. "Being drunk is supposed to be fun," he said. "And there should be sex."
