Fic: Pro Patria Mori by solsticezero
Title: Pro Patria Mori
Author: solsticezero
Rating: Standard
Length: 11,676; two parts
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Jack, Ianto, Gwen, OC (slight Jack/Ianto and Gwen/Rhys)
Genre/Category: action/adventure, horror, episode-like
Warnings: zombies
Spoilers: Doctor Who Series One's The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances.
Summary: The one sound Jack never wanted to hear again was a chorus of voices calling out for 'mummy'.
Why you should read it:
Because it's pulse-racing excitement! This was written for the reel_torchwood fest and uses Dawn of the Dead for its prompt, which I will admit to never having seen. As it's scary and features zombies! solsticezero cleverly combines the zombie plot from that with The Empty Child, one of the creepiest episodes ever, to give us a very atmospheric adventure. The beginning is all slow-building suspense, and then Ianto comes into his own as an action hero! In the midst of all this, there's some lovely, delicate handling of the Jack/Ianto relationship.
