Ashes to Ashes/Torchwood:

Duty's to be done: you may recall me mentioning now and then how s2 of AtA made me long for a Torchwood crossover in which Gwen Cooper ends up in the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes verse. Well, imagine my glee when I discovered someone wrote just this, and spendidly so! As one of three crossovers; I'm not familiar with the ( Read more... )

Come up with new years resolutions for 5 different characters.
