Lo-verse by Copperbadge (PG to R)

[blog-of-cool.livejournal.com]

Copperbadge's Lo-verse consists of the one-shot fic I Were the Heavens and Your Face is Turned (the nine-part sequel to I Were the Heavens).  It is fantastic.

Why this must be read:  Well, first of all, because it's Sam, and you should pretty much read anything he writes.  Really.  I mean it.  Secondly, it's a fantastic view of Jack's history (and his future!) and deals with timey-wimey-wibbly-wobbly in a wonderful fashion.  Thirdly, the sequel fixes COE without being just a fix-it fic.  It's incidental to the real plot of the story.  READ IT.

Summary of I Were the Heavens:  A sixteen-year-old boy from Boeshane is going to win the war. The Time Agency has a vested interest in children like him -- and so does the Admiral of the Fleet.

Summary of Your Face is Turned:  Lo Boeshane has a promising career ahead of him as he enters his first year of Fleet Officer Training, but the war is still with him and life at Quantico Station can be difficult. Meanwhile, Ianto Jones is just trying to figure out why the Doctor kidnapped him to the fifty-first century and why Jack abandoned him at a school for the Fleet's military elite. He suspects it may have something to do with Lo, but his attempts to help the troubled young veteran may damage his own timestream beyond repair.
