Title: The Alcohol Annals
Author: kayliemalinza
Rating: standard
Length: series, five oneshots
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Jack, Ianto, Gwen, Tosh, Owen, and Suzie references to various pairings therein
Genre/Category: humour, character study
Warnings: intoxication
Spoilers: series one
Summary: Five stories about being drunk; one for each member of the Torchwood Team.
Why you should read it: Writing humour is a hard thing, and it takes a lot of skill to make a fic funny without making it silly. The five fics in this series show off kaylie's ridiculous talent in that regard. She writes each character so well, even through the guise of intoxication, playing off their individual quirks to make each fic not about the alcohol, but about what we love about the five main characters of Torchwood. Jack's and Ianto's are absolutely hysterical, Tosh and Gwen's are sweet and delightful, and Owen's is that particular note of bitter that makes Owen a joy to read and write.
Ain't it Drunky Now (Ianto)
Fantastically Drunk (Gwen)
Pinch Drunk (Jack)
Drunkling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup (Toshiko)
Bitter Drunk (Owen)
