Why this must be read:
Because it's perfect and fabulous and oh, it captures the way Ianto's mind works so wonderfully. This takes place after the last episode of the first season and looks at how the crew handles a certain disappearance. ::coughs::. Everyone is perfectly in character and the story is beautifully written. And it has a chart. Any story that has a chart is okay in my book.
Seriously, this is one of the best fics I've read dealing with what happens after the end of the first season.
Straddled over the rift, the Hub was a place where things were lost and found. Strange objects washed in like driftwood. Things went missing. There was never any sign of where they'd gone.
It was disconcerting, but a lot of things about Torchwood were. Ianto got used to it like he got used to feeding weevils and cleaning up alien slime. He put everything in its place when he left each night, and if a few train timetables or coffee cups were missing in the morning, if an odd sock appeared, he tried not to pay it too much heed.
Tosh told him she'd found the whole thing alarming at first. "I thought I was going crazy," she said. "I'd put a folder down, and whoosh! It'd be gone. And I still don't like it. I mean, this stuff is confidential. It doesn't stop being confidential if it washes up on Bizarro Weevil World." She tapped her pen (not one of the alien ones, Ianto hoped) against her mouth. "Perhaps we could devise a code," she said thoughtfully. "Something Bizarro weevils wouldn't be able to crack."
"Well, seeing as our weevils haven't yet cracked English, I don't know if I'd be too concerned," Ianto pointed out.
