Fic: "Torchwood 1913: Jack be Nimble" and "Old Boys"

It's a retro-Torchwood bonanza! The last part of the story set in 1913 and something set in 1942 as a sort of very-far-removed epilogue:

Fic: Torchwood 1913: Jack be Nimble, Part 22

The end - and not before time! Well, this story has been going on for quite some time now (about eight months, I think!), and wouldn't have been finished without the encouragement of those of you who've been following it, so thanks! Just a bit of fluffy epilogue to go - any similarities between the last section and the Jack/Gwen gun-fondling scene early in S1 of Torchwood are purely coincidental (honest!)

Fic: Old Boys

I wrote this a while ago, but some of the things that came up when I was writing my other retro-TW fics "Jack be Nimble" and "Never Lies" made me think about it again and rewrite large parts of it, so here it is. Some of the mentioned characters and biographical details come from the TW S2 ep "To The Last Man" or more specifically the not-really-canonical TW website info accompanying it. Don't really know how much sense this will make unless you've read my other retro-TW fic. As ever, Torchwood and the various copyrights relating to it definitely, definitely do not belong to me!

The next to last part! Actually, I think I could end it here, but there's a fluffy little epilogue bit still to come. The notorious Olyver Blaycke makes a reappearance in this part, and as for the rest of it, as Paul Daniels might once have said, it's magic! And interestingly enough, Cardiff really was one of the first places in Britain outside of London to have Indian restaurants - I looked it up.

Fic: Torchwood 1913: Jack be Nimble, Part 20

Nearly finished...nearly... The next spiffing instalment, in which Gerald sees off the frolicking Satanists, Inspector Davidson worries about his career prospects, Lydia and Jack talk revolution and Harriet and Charles settle down with a good book. Or possibly an evil book, in this particular instance. And some meaningless technobabble, if you're into that.

Fic: Torchwood 1913: Jack be Nimble, Part 19

In which Gerald lays down the law, Jack demonstrates how to make a dramatic entrance, and shooty, punchy action ensues! I hope Harriet doesn't come across as too pathetic in the latter part of the chapter, but I thought it was a reasonable response from her in the circumstances. Oh, and they probably should have mentioned Jack's little...condition to her before, don't you think? :D

Fic: Torchwood 1913: Jack be Nimble, Part 18

In which Team Torchwood spring into action, Jack dices with death as only he can, Gerald gives us the dubious pleasure of some more of his unreconstructed views on gender roles, and frolicking Satanic cultists frolic Satanically! No chickens were harmed in the writing of this chapter, and the evil Latin chanting is kind of robbed from the theme tune to The Omen...

The tale rumbles on! We're in the home stretch now...I hope... Our heroes arrive at the scene, Harriet and Lydia exchange thoughts on the subjects of firearms and class divisions, and Gerald discovers that the women of Team Torchwood are not to be trifled with, even if he probably does misguidedly think that he's doing them a favour...

Who took it, and under what circumstances? Most of the characters here (or their names anyway) are taken from fluff on the BBC Torchwood website regarding said episode. Torchwood and all of its characters, copyrights, concepts etc. definitely do not belong to me.

The next spiffing instalment! In which Gerald muses about things and joins Jack in fondling some weapons; in which Lydia improves her mind; in which Harriet technobabbles with the best of them, and in which Charles draws some pretty pictures. And then everybody stops sitting around and gets back to the plot! :D I know nothing about multidimensional geometry by the way that isn't in Wikipedia!

The next bit! The plot doesn't advance very much (again!), but hopefully that will end after this part. The main plottiness here is sort of foreshadowing for future retro-TW fics that I will probably never write (useful, then!) and will probably mean more if you've seen the S2 ep To The Last Man. References also to my previous fic "Scareship", so yeah... The creepy tarot-reading little girl, of course, appears in the S2 eps Dead Man Walking and Fragments.

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...

The next part, in which we meet the infamous Olyver Blaycke, in which he spouts various off-colour innuendos at our heroes (and heroine), and in which Jack and Gerald manage to good-cop, bad-cop him almost in spite of themselves. Some of the half-baked philosophy Blaycke spouts is my best effort at paraphrasing the teachings of his real-life alter ego Aleister Crowley, and Jack just had to go proving Godwin's Law at the end there, didn't he?
