Fic: Torchwood 1913: Jack be Nimble, Part 14

The gang go back to the Hub to regroup - wackiness ensues. More Lydia POV stuff, and some of her thoughts on Gerald. Gerald meanwhile, finds out just what Jack and the rest of them were up to while he was in London, and is not best pleased. And Harriet wonders just what she has got herself into... Oh, and Lydia probably should have copyrighted that line she comes out with at the end...

Yay!

Am not sure when I'll get to it, but it's a Good Thing to know there's a treat waiting when I do. :-)

(BTW, a new comm has started up - dbskyler gave me the heads up - who_like_giants which, while it will include a ficathon, also is now the place for linking to stories from DW, TW and SJA focusing on minor and original characters. Don't know why I thought you might be interested... ;-D).

Yes, well, you should have hope! Life would be a bit bleak without that. Good luck! I hope it will be to your benefit, too. (I seem to remember a thread about work on DbyA & if what you posted then about work wasn't just the result of a bad week at the time, then I really hope you find something a bit more fulfilling this time. Of course, that also is sufficient to live on - always important! ;-D) Shall we talk about fic now, then and not the horrible W word??

Ah, yes, a rolled up paper - well, if I put up that brolly I nicked off Seven and use it as a shield, I'll be fine. :-) (And what have you been writing? *sigh* Torture is always obligatory at some point, right?) Plus, you mean *she* made, in this case, don't you?

And aww to that icon story - I'm not surprised it's a treasured possession.

Yes, options are good. I'm glad it isn't ALL doom and gloom at least.

I DO want to make a Colonel Crichton icon! I was thinking of other things, but now I thought of that, I want to make one badly. Just cf my screen caps problem. If I can download or pay to download something reasonable that will let me do that, I'm sure I can at least manage something, as I have plenty of DVDs (inc The Five Doctors).

Yes, I know what you mean about the photo - and it's TV flawed reasoning, because they would only have been that stiffly seated for an official studio photo, which that clearly isn't meant to be, therefore it's been taken by someone they know and they would therefore be much more relaxed, smiling (and possibly a little blurred). Do I spend too much time reading family history mags, do you think?
But, it's cool to see them & I can recognise them - except who's the older man on the left?

No, I don't think pretty is ever the word to describe Tom! Hence, not many pics of him.... :lol:

I don't have many old photos, but there are some (like that) on my Dad's side that are pretty old. On Mum's side, like you, 30s & 40s are the earliest I've been able to find. But I have been doing the family history, so I contact distant relatives, who email me photos. (This one came from my Dad's cousin). There could be any number hiding with long lost cousins! Heh.

Hope all the HR stuff went OK. :-( A move isn't fun if you don't want to go. Although I suppose at least B'ham isn't too far to go back for visits home. (I moved 300 miles to be a librarian and now I'm a not-a-librarian stuck 300 miles from home. It seemed like a plan at the time. ;-D)

You could always just turn the bunny into a drabble. Sometimes that makes them go away fairly painlessly. Heh.
