Oh, nice.

This was really, really great. I second what order_of_chaos said above, I love this because every bit of it's wonderful, but I also hate it because you broke Rose.

The Alice one, #9, was my favorite, I think. The Alice Tyler bit threw me at first, wasn't sure whether she was a relation of Rose's or what, but I figured out it was a coincidence in the end. Overall, I like that her last name was Tyler.

You did a great job showing different sides to Torchwood. As sensiblecat said, this really gets across the feel of the show, which seems to be hard to do with TW.

I really liked how #7 and #9, when compared, show slightly different sides of Torchwood and when you throw in #3, you get even more of a contrast.

I really liked the first one with Rose, #6, however, on the whole, I think #8, the Doctor one, was my least favorite. Not because of what you did with Rose, but because that one just felt a little... off. It feels out of place. I think it's because while the others parts revolved around Torchwood, this didn't. This part felt like it had the Doctor at the center, while with the others it was Torchwood.

Loved #5, with Lincoln. Though, that might have something to do with that fact that in my head I cast him as Ewan McGregor, probably due to the fact that, in The Island, he plays a character named Lincoln. Two actually.

And last but not least, #10. I loved #10, I really did. It fixes the horrible retcon of Small Worlds, which felt OOC for Jack anyway. [The in love with Estelle, bit. Taking that into consideration, Jack's actions in the ep weren't really OOC. Um... rant for another time.] Anyway, this fixed it in a lovely way. If Estelle was there, and Jack really did feel like that, then this is what would really have happened.

Thank you. Well, like I said...I have a thing for causing angst and breaking pretty girls.

Honestly? I really liked the Alice one. I like the idea of there being some nice aliens in Cardiff. Plus...I kind of think Alice ad Ianto had some strange flirting thing going on. lol. Yeah, I gave her Tyler as a last name just because I liked it.

I really liked how #7 and #9, when compared, show slightly different sides of Torchwood and when you throw in #3, you get even more of a contrast.

I like Torchwood must have different sides and has most likely acted differently at different times in its history. I really enjoyed writing about and showing different contrast of Torchwood.

I really liked the first one with Rose, #6, however, on the whole, I think #8, the Doctor one, was my least favorite. Not because of what you did with Rose, but because that one just felt a little... off. It feels out of place. I think it's because while the others parts revolved around Torchwood, this didn't. This part felt like it had the Doctor at the center, while with the others it was Torchwood.

I just had to throw Rose in there. I agree with you about number eight. I wanted for Rose to see the Doctor agree, and I wanted to include him. But it is off, maybe because at its core it's a D/R thing and not about Torchwood or aliens. Still...I just had to include it.

Loved #5, with Lincoln. Though, that might have something to do with that fact that in my head I cast him as Ewan McGregor, probably due to the fact that, in The Island, he plays a character named Lincoln. Two actually.

lol. Somehow, I could see Ewan McGregor as Lincoln. Lincoln to me is just cool. And, I loved that he keep an eye on Alice and tried to protect her. I bet those two have some cool stories to tell...

I loved #10, I really did. It fixes the horrible retcon of Small Worlds, which felt OOC for Jack anyway. [The in love with Estelle, bit. Taking that into consideration, Jack's actions in the ep weren't really OOC. Um... rant for another time.] Anyway, this fixed it in a lovely way. If Estelle was there, and Jack really did feel like that, then this is what would really have happened.

Honestly? I loved the idea that Jack could love someone post-Nine&Rose. ('Cause...according to the timeline, he met Estelle post-S1 of Doctor Who.) And since Jack loves so deeply...I just loved the idea of him asking the Doctor to go back to 1945, so they could get her.

Anyway...thanks for reading. So glad you liked it.
