Torchwood recs!

They Still Tell Stories, Too by golden_d. Follow-up to They Still Write Poetry in the Fifty-First Century and just as lovely. Jack teaches Tosh more about his native language. The bits about his name? Heartbreaking.  

Jack Harkness and the Chocolate Factory by nancybrown. This reel_torchwood crossover does exactly what it says on the tin wrapper; what if the team each received a Golden Ticket?  Yes, that!  Very twisty-turny.

Yuletide!


A Perfect Honeymoon (Some Like It Hot) - Daphne/Osgood.  We know Joe and Sugar had a happy ending, and here, Jerry and Osgood do as well. And it's so lovely that Jerry is loved for himself. Herself. Being Jerry. 

He Blinded Me With Archaology
(Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)  This is an Indy/Mutt story, but they don't know they're related, obvs. Great Mutt POV and characterisation.

"Get out of town," Mutt said, glancing back at the array of brightly colored and oddly shaped fruity-looking things. Some had shiny skin and were curved like boomerangs, and some were withered and bright red, and some were squat and bright lime green.  "No fucking way those are potatoes."

"No?" Indiana said, not meeting his eyes. "I guess you would know, being a motorcycle mechanic. Bet you travel to Peru a lot with that kinda job."

Very welcome!

I had SO much fun reading your story; we'd just watched the remake over Thanksgiving. :)

Thank ya1

I think the italics in grey are a little bit light, but that's tweakable. I use too many italics. :D

I think the blue is perfect, though.
