In your own space, create a fanwork. (details/original post)

recs were listed as a possible fanwork, and since I have been sitting on these since Dec 9th when

wesleysgirl asked for Torchwood recs, I figured I might as well post them. I meant to put all the recs requests together in one post, but I only got this far and then stuff kept piling on me and making it harder and harder for me to actually write the recs!

(note: Ianto is my favorite, and I do have a tendency to drift toward fics where he's the focus of the story and/or extra badass. also, alive.)

The Intersections Series by

NancyBrown -- This is my absolute favorite Torchwood fic series ever. You don't have to read them all; you can start with Intersecting Geodesics if you want to skip the Jenny/Alice stuff, but honestly the Jenny/Alice fics are short and wonderfully done. But IG is where the plotty stuff starts, and it's Jack/Ianto. :D?

My second favorite Torchwood fic is another 'series' (well, a shortish fic and its longer sequel): The Lo-Verse by

copperbadge. It is another time travel fic, which are way common in this fandom (which is totally cool with me since time travel is one of my weaknesses!) and I honestly love and adore the Jack backstory and futurestory and everything in between. Also, worldbuilding, because YES. *hearteyes*

Iantowood by

jovialien is a long, long series that's a little dark but a lot of amazing. I loved the premise and it gave me hours of enjoyment. There's a recurring theme of sacrificing for love, and yeah, I'm a sucker for that.

Shades of Ianto by

sarcasticchick (also the author of the unfinished Windhovers series, which is recced but with caveats 'cause the stopping point leaves you wanting much much more!). SoI's summary is "Ianto is much more than just a teaboy" which should be the default summary of every single Torchwood fic out there, but okay. In this one he is! I guess I'd call him 'heir to the Torchwood legacy' or somesuch. The third and final story in the series is a mild crossover with SGA, and it has dragons.
