The Silver Cloak by Shewhoguards (PG)

Fandom:  DOCTOR WHO/TORCHWOOD
Pairing:  Wilf/Minnie
Length: 1626
Author Website: AO3

Why this must be read:

Torchwood One is gone and there are weevils running around London! Who's going to step in and deal with them? Not The Doctor that's for sure. He's too busy saving the world and chasing after the Daleks,  Donna's had her memory wiped, Martha and Mickey are on their honeymoon, and Rose is living it up in the Alt!Universe.

Enter The Silver Cloak. London's newest batch of Alien Hunters.  Led by Wilfred Mott and Minnie Hooper these Full Time Retires are going to rescue those poor confused Weevils, knit them fuzzy jumpers, and find them somewhere to live.

Shewhoguards has written a hilarious look at just what The Silver Cloak get up to after they've found The Doctor.  Full of BAMF Elders, Kit Kats, and Happy Weevils, this fic is a light hearted look at why older people are so awesome.

Excerpt:

"Of course, it started with finding that nice doctor Wilf had been so keen on locating -- the good-looking one with the nice bum -- but it didn't end there. They might have seen off one oddity that way, but the world was full of oddities, and it wasn't as though anyone else was making sure they got sorted out. Not lately anyway. There used to be a dark car which drove round London while everyone looked the other way and pretended not to see it. It had had its name written on the side -- Glowbranch, Glowwood, something like that. But Minnie had asked Sally, and Sally had asked Tom, and Tom had asked Irene and everyone had agreed it hadn't been seen in an age, and things were getting downright weird without it."
