Hello there! I'm merryghoul, and I'll be driving the Whoniverse Crack Van this month. I'll be reccing you some of my favorites from Classic Who and New Who later in the week (and month), but I'm dusting off the obnoxiously labeled SUV and starting off with Torchwood.

Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: Gwen Cooper/Suzie Costello
Length: 1089

Why this must be read: This is my favorite Torchwood fic ever. Set during "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End" on Doctor Who (where Ianto and Gwen are being protected by a time lock Tosh perfected before her death), this fic has the perfect combination of darkness and smut and it captures the dynamic between Gwen and Suzie perfectly. Originally written for a round of dark_fest.


The temporal backwash of Toshiko’s experimental Time Bubble tech releases energies all but indistinguishable from those that fuelled the Resurrection Gauntlet. It had stretched even Suzie to feign disinterest while Tosh gushed on about this coincidence, common sense lapped as so often by that galloping brain. You could see why UNIT thought that Earth would be safer with Tosh in a cell, and only her own piss for company. Installing a Rift Capacitor to funnel those energies into the Morgue lockers if the Time Bubble should ever be activated had been a fiddly afternoon’s work. But, as the sequel has shown, entirely worth it. (Elbow-smash... y/n? Suzie decides to keep that up her sleeve. So to speak.)
