FIC SUMMARY: Tosh and Ianto bond over tech and their respective pasts. - Set first season.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Oh, I love Ianto and Tosh together. They just fit in a way the other characters on the show rarely do. I love how they interact here, bonding over their past and their relationship to Jack.

MAIN CHARACTERS: DEATH, Owen Harper

FIC SUMMARY: The first time Owen died he made a friend.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This works so well as a crossover, I love DEATH's and Owen's interaction. For such a short story there are so many fun one-liners.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Ianto Jones, team

FIC SUMMARY: "An entire intelligent civilization in a jam jar--It appears to be perfectly safe in there."

RECCER'S NOTES:

Oh, absolutely gorgeous. It's a fascinating story, and an interesting view on Ianto and on the possibilities of life. It reminds more of Doctor Who than of Torchwood but that isn't a bad thing. My ultimate non-schmoopy feel-good story of Torchwood.

RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13 | mentions of canon pairings
WIP?/WORD COUNT: novelette | ~ 20,000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Toshiko Sato, Team; mentions of canon pairings

FIC SUMMARY: Torchwood has to deal with threats from an alien species and Myfanwy has gone missing. Plus, it is time for Tosh's five-year review by UNIT, and things do not go well. Takes place a few days before Season 2's 'Fragments'.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This story might be best described as a Tosh-centric team fic. It actually reads like an episode. It's extremely well written, fast paced with wonderful character moments not only for Tosh, but for all the characters. A wonderful entertaining read.

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.

RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13
WIP?/WORD COUNT: ~ 2,000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Owen Harper

FIC SUMMARY: See title.

RECCER'S NOTES: Owen in fanfiction is really hit or miss for me, but I really loved him here. His characterization is to the point, and I loved the plot and his development. I liked how each part highlighted a piece of his personality and how everything together paints a vivid picture of him. The story blends humor and drama so well that it'd be difficult to put it solely in either category.
