Fandom: Torchwood
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, AU - Canon Divergence
Pairings: Ianto/Lisa, Ianto/Jack, Gwen/Rhys
Length: Medium (Words: 20,490)
Warnings: contains mention of numerous suicides, PTSD and general mental health difficulties
Author's Summary:
It's been two and a half years since Canary Wharf. It's been a year since Lisa. And Jack is just now realizing what the real toll has all been on Ianto and the other survivors of Torchwood One. Now he needs to fix a big thing done badly before anyone else dies.
Review:
I like stories that manage lots of hurt/comfort fluffy, fuzzy feelings without putting the poor characters through even more horrible things than canon. This story deals with believable/reasonable outcomes for the survivors of the Battle of Canary Wharf. It's dark, but Ianto gets the support he needs so its a bit more hopeful (not happy, but at least positive) at the end. I love how strong Ianto is and how supportive Jack and the rest of the Torchwood team are - especially Owen, actually (he's in character with plenty of sharp remarks, but he's still helping). Besides the character and relationship arcs, this story also fills in some holes about how Ianto could get a cyberwoman out of the wreckage and across the country and into the Torchwood Hub... but mostly it's very good hurt/comfort Ianto/Jack.
