Hart OC? The man who 'fancies' poodles. Lalala

Great story, and I for one would love to see more like this. From the end of CoE, I've said Gwen should hire Hart.

Glad you like. And I agree with you about Hart.

In my head this version of Torchwood possibly also has Lois Habiba, Agent Johnson and her Operative. My muses are trying to convince me that Richie Ryan should be there too, but I'm not 100% convinced they're right yet. He would have no problem keeping Hart in line (and neither would Johnson).

[easilymused1956]

OMG, I think the very SAME thing! Oh, well, except for the Rich part.

(Shhh. Am not a big fan of Richie Ryan. Unless you mature him quite a bit?)

Yes, my Harkness-less team is Gwen, Hart, Lois, Johnson and Methos (the medic).

I kind of picture Gwen harassing Hart by making him the new tea-boy. Lalala

Sorry for all the babbling. But I love this!

Methos is in Seacouver working for Joe in this AU (until Jack runs off with him in the TARDIS) so he ain't going to be working for Torchwood - not that he'd want to after CoE.

The Richie Ryan who'd be working for Torchwood is *much* more mature than he was in the series. In The Year that Wasn't he and Ianto worked closely together in the resistance as well as helping to co-ordinate Martha Jones' immortal bodyguards at that time (in a yet to be written fic). He uses his apparent age to his advantage - people are always underestimating him - so would probably be quite a useful addition to the team. Plus he's a friend of Siannon's so she can vouch for his capabilities.

Your rambling is very welcome!

Oh, love it. Love it. Love it. Hart is so... Hart here. Did I say love it?

[aeron_lanart]

Thank you!

Hart is so... Hart here

Coming from you that's high praise indeed! I love your versions of John Hart and was I worried I might not do him justice.

[vipersweb]

Hiring Hart would be no worse than hiring Johnson, as so many other fics have made happen. *g*

Nicely done. I like that we're just dropped into this. The last line is brill.

[aeron_lanart]

Glad you like! I'm rather fond of that last line myself too.

I'm tempted to have Johnson there too (Lois is a given I think) she and Hart could have some serious 'fun' with each other...

[robling_t]

Kind of think you'd get into a "this fic isn't big enough for the three of us" dynamic there, which could be a good thing of course...

[aeron_lanart]

this fic isn't big enough for the three of us

I think Siannon would back down a little and only intervene if it looked like there was going to be *serious* damage - to people or otherwise - as she would be metaphorically cheering Johnson on all the way! Eventually they'd all settle down I'm sure.

[midnightmurdina]

rock on!
wicked cool.

[aeron_lanart]

Glad you like!

[easilymused1956]

I love AUs. You can have your Siannon and Rich. I can have Methos. We all get happy.

It's horrible. I will have to catch up on the Who episodes with Jack so I know more of his background.

Thanks for welcoming my ramble.

Renee

[aeron_lanart]

AUs are wonderful things - and yes, everyone is happy!

Do have the New Who eps with Jack in or not? I might know someone who could help if you haven't. *ahem*

[easilymused1956]

The only thing I've seen with Jack is Torchwood. I have all of Torchwood on DVD.

Would love some, ::cough:: help. Lalala
