Happy Halloween!
Trick or Treat and Shipoween are both open for browsing! (In Trick or Treat you select characters; in Shipoween you select ships.) I only officially signed up for Trick or Treat, but I have fic in both. Spot them if you can. I've only just begun looking through both fests, but there are lots of excellent offerings, including a lot of art!
And I got a lovely Trick or Treat gift: Halloween Parade, a lovely little slice of Defenders-flavored Halloween featuring Misty & Colleen.

Torchwood had a Halloween fest this month - collection here - so here are some recs from that:
The Zagrith's Claw by
AVAAntares
Creepy and very Torchwood-feeling monkey's-paw-esque plot with a great team dynamic. (Graphic gore.)
Empty, Unseen, and Preyed Upon by
engagemythrusters
Ianto is bitten by a werewolf; this is monster-werewolves instead of pack-bonding werewolves. Fun creature fic. (The fic itself isn't actually sad, but there's a flash-forward to post-Exit Wounds at the end, just FYI.)
Echoing by
Beleriandings
A chilling and excellent ghost story. (Character death warnings.)
Fancy Dress by
Paycheckgurl
For a lighter chaser to the above, a team fic with Halloween dress-up.
But there's other good stuff in the collection - it's worth checking out!
Not part of the fest, but perhaps worth mentioning because I don't think I linked to it specifically outside of the promptfic fest - I wrote a Torchwood werewolf pack fic back in September. This entry is also posted at https://sholio.dreamwidth.org/1353469.html with
