Torchwood Recs for Coreopsis

[dmarley]

For coreopsis, some Torchwood recs. You requested long, plotty first time Jack/Ianto, so I've tried to indicate when stories were not, perhaps, long or plotty or first time. I got to somewhere around the M's in my Torchwood folder, so there'll be a second post in the future.

Airavanya. "Upheaval" Not first time, but long and plotty

Asrai. "Night Starts Here." After Jack leaves at the end of Series 1, Ianto is transferred to Torchwood Two. Ianto-centric.

Crystalshard. "Constant as the Changing Weather." Jack is Ianto's mentor at Torchwood One.

Derryderrydown. "Pobol y Ffaglcoedwig." I thought this was a nifty idea when I read it. Now it's canon. :)

Calathea. "Before." A short, introspective piece.

Giddygeek. "Broader than the Flood." First time, not terribly long, but sexy

Giddygeek. "Sun in the Sky." Season 1 story. It's not exactly a first time, but it has that sensibility, if that makes any sense.

Kaneko. "Lost and Found." Quirky and interesting.

Melina. "Distraction." A nice sexy first time piece.

Misslucyjane. "Lovers in a Dangerous Time." For some reason I remember waffling about reccing this series, but now I can't remember why. So, proceed with caution?

Misslucyjane. "The Torchwood Patient." Ianto/Captain Jack Harkness (the other one). Not exactly cheerful, but I liked this one.

Misslucyjane. "Sir." Short character piece.

Nightanddaze. "Catharsis." Frottage in a bathroom stall. 'Nuff said.

Paperclipbitch. "That Old Black Magic." Long and quirky, with some really nice writing and images. FYI, this is more Ianto-centric that most of the other stuff I've recced, and there's some Owen/Ianto.

Sam_storyteller. "Trying to Communicate." Okay, this has been recced everywhere, but it's still funny.

Xtricks. "What Lies Within." Tentacle!sex. Nice and long and plotty. The link is to the Epilogue, because there are links to all the other parts there. You may have already seen this one because it's been recced everywhere. I found the formatting a bit off-putting, but since I save most stuff and read it as plain text, the formatting wasn't there to bother me for long.

Bless you! I've been thinking that since I'm almost caught up with TW I should inquire as to where you all keep the slash. Now I shall coast on the bounty meant for others!

Glad to be of service! And really, finding the fic in this fandom is a royal pain. There isn't anything like a central archive, so I mostly just depend on torchwood_three and hope that any good stories it misses will eventually be recced somewhere.

Ah! Well this is the first I've seen of torchwood_three, so you have provided for me twice in one evening! Merci

I seem completely incapable of passing up a link to this story without reading it again. *g*

Thanks for the recs/links! I have read a few of these, but most are new. yay!

Yay! Hopefully I'll get through the rest of my Torchwood folder in the next few days. I have to have something to do while waiting for Friday. :)

hee. Indeed. Longest two weeks EVER. Also thanks for linking to torchwood_three up there. I went ahead and friended it too.

How I avoided falling headfirst into this fandom for while quietly watching the show for two years is a mystery to me. I can only imagine the pull of SGA kept me too distracted. *g*
