TW: Shift, by iamshadow.

FANDOM: Torchwood
FIC LINK: Shift
AUTHOR LINK: [personal profile] iamshadow
RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 12,600 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Rhys Williams (mentions of canon relationships)

FIC SUMMARY: Exploring the ruins of the Hub after a Rift quake, Gwen finds something completely unexpected that could change everything. But is it an answer to all her problems, or just a new complication? - Post CoE.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a kind of fix-it story that doesn't really fix it. I don't want to get too specific here because I love the unraveling of the story. The characters' interaction is wonderful and nuanced and so very believable. I love the tone of the story, melancholic and sad with a tinge of hope.

Thank you for the rec! Shift and its tiny sequel are also up on AO3, for those who prefer to do their reading there - Shift 'verse. Be warned, though, the tagging is super spoilery.
