Why this must be read:

You know how when you were a kid and played let's pretend and you felt like you could create infinite worlds if you just believed hard enough?

This story is about that. Sort of.

It's utterly charming: a believable portrait of the Torchwood team, an original alien, and some sweet moments between Jack and Ianto (which, you know. I like lots.)


"Rhinoceros," Gwen said.

Jack took a corner too sharply, and everyone clung to their seatbelts with grim determination. He sighed at them and said, "No, Gwen. Still a Ronocijitikel."

"Rhinocijiteros."

"Ronocijitikel."

"Ronociceros?"

"Now you're just being difficult," Jack said, and spun the SUV into another sharp turn. He grinned like the madman Ianto thought he quite probably was. "Ronocijitikel. Come on, you can say it."

"Ronocijiteros," Gwen said. "Damn it! I'm calling it Ron!"
