Catching Up With The Sun
Author: meatball42
Series' Included: Pre-series, but with canonic timeline including Doctor Who Series 2. Vague information from Torchwood Series 1 and one little scene from Doctor Who Season 5, but nothing spoilery.
Characters: Jack, Owen, Tosh, Ianto, Gwen, with a spattering of OCs and others
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, background Gwen/Rhys, Gwen/Owen?
Gen/Het/Slash: Slash, but very mild. I’m disappointed about that, but my beta made me cut out all the tongue for the sake of 'characterization.'
Rating: Pretty solid T for And I Must Scream situations and somewhat graphic descriptions of bloody things.
Word Count: Slightly over 13,000 words
Beta: The wonderful Tech Duinn, who was not nearly as much of a dragon lady as she claimed to be, and totally saved this fic. Heaps of praise and gratitude upon her feet!
Artist: charie_caphine who... I had to stop in the middle of posting to calm myself down because I was staring at the art too long and starting to squee and flail, so, yeah. Also, she did way too much, I have no idea why. That doesn't mean I'm not hoarding it.
Summary: In the fall of 1974, Jack Harkness, Owen Harper and Toshiko Sato are captured while they investigate a string of disappearances that stretch back to the forties. In a horrifying twist of fate, they find themselves transformed into inanimate objects, and there is no help in sight. Unable to speak, move independently or even breathe, what can Jack the pocket watch do to save the world from invasion, his team from insanity, and himself from a broken heart?
Author’s Notes: This was a really difficult fic to write, far outside my usual and I really need to thank again my beta, Tech Duinn. She is a goddess who performed such feats as editing 22 pages in a few hours and making me admit that I’m not perfect. It was her influence that changed this from a totally boring thing that I scribbled on graph paper during finals week to something I don’t actually feel ashamed to post.
