The Rose of Jericho by kaydeefalls (R)

Hello, all! It's me again, back behind the wheel of the Torchwood van. This time around I'm planning to rec some fix-its and AUs, mostly CoE-related. Starting with...

Title: The Rose of Jericho
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Jack/Ianto, Gwen, Martha, Mickey, Lois, Rhys, Andy, John Hart; canon pairings
Length: ~63 000 words
Author on LJ: kaydeefalls
Author Website: fallen leaves / LJ masterlist / AO3 / Teaspoon
Why this must be read:

Summary: Post-CoE. When Martha Jones encounters a dark UNIT cover-up in the wake of the 456, it's up to Gwen's new Torchwood team to bring the truth to light -- and save Ianto.

This is a plotty, meaty story that weaves together the rebuilding of Torchwood 3, Ianto's past with Torchwood, and past Who-verse events into a logical, satisfying whole. It's a story of aftermaths, grief, and coping, and though the fix-it element is integral to the plot, it's not really the focus.

I cannot thank you enough for reccing this story. I'm not even halfway through and it's everything I could want in a post-CoE story.
