reel_torchwood challenge.
Why you should read it: E.T./Torchwood is just an excellent concept, andnancybrown added some cool character insights and bits of backstory to both canons that fit very nicely. Plus just when you think you've worked it all out, she throws a curveball at you, just to keep you on your toes.
Yesterday, she added this lovely coda, which is what prompted me to reread the original fic.
Title: The Boy Who Lived
Author:nancybrown
Fandoms: Torchwood, E.T. The Extraterrestrial
Rating: G
Summary/Prompt: Any day after the story finishes, Jack, Ianto, Alice and Steven having a meal together or some other type of family bonding that's also a bit of a debrief/post-mortem of the alien visit.
Why you should read it: Steven's POV on Uncle Jack bringing Mr. Jones for dinner is adorable, especially his interpretation of some of Ianto's reactions and mannerisms.
Chronologically, this next one happened between the other two, but it's a different crossover and much earlier in the TW team's timeline. Link starts with the comment to The Extraterrestrial that started the whole thing.
Not really a title: Comment Crackfic

Fandoms: Torchwood, Muppets, Sesame Street
Rating: R
Warning: Childhood icons plus Jack. Need I say more?
Excerpt:
"No, they look like puppets. Henson worked for our US branch ... " Gwen broke in, "We have a US branch?" "We did," Ianto said darkly.
Why you should read it: It's hysterically funny. Plus, well, the warning is really more of an advertisement, isn't it?
