Fic Of The Week - Week Twenty Four

[bk_forever]

The last week has certainly flown by! Hope everyone enjoyed last week's fic. I know I did! For this week, I've picked two very different fics - a reel_torchwood fic and a CoE fixit. I felt like a bit of variety, lol!

The first one is iolo1234 's take on Tootsie, the Dustin Hoffman film, using our lovely Torchwood characters. Originally posted in February 2011, it's called I've Just Got To Do It Without The Dress and is 9 shortish chapters, just the thing to brighten up these rainy June days.

Here's the author's summary: Jack Harkness is desperate to work but finds the only way he can get a job is in a dress. He meets Ianto Jones. Will true love win out? I have set this in the original time of the film so sexual attitudes reflect that time in the television industry. I have also used the original script but with a few twists.

I love the movie, so I'm looking forward to this! Chapters are in consecutive posts, but are not linked, so here's where to find them.

Chapter 7: http://iolo1234.livejournal.com/69709.html
Chapter 8: http://iolo1234.livejournal.com/69942.html
Chapter 9: http://iolo1234.livejournal.com/70354.html 


This week's second fic is Once Lost by jax25 , a 6 part Children Of Earth fixit, posted between September 2009 and August 2010. Most parts are rated NC-17, so you know what to expect!

Summary:  The end is where we start from.  This fix-it picks up from where TW: Children of Earth left off.  It is just one example of how Ianto Jones could easily be reinstated into the story. 

Parts aren't linked and are quite widely scattered, so here they are:

Part 1: http://jax25.livejournal.com/3565.html
Part 2: http://jax25.livejournal.com/3807.html
Part 3: http://jax25.livejournal.com/4079.html
Part 4: http://jax25.livejournal.com/4163.html
Part 5: http://jax25.livejournal.com/4501.html
Part 6: http://jax25.livejournal.com/4615.html 

Right, so there you go, hope everyone finds something to enjoy in this week's choices! Happy reading!

Hope you enjoy the fics when you get the chance to read.

I'm doing okay, I guess, though I'm exhausted. The overcast weather is making me sleepy and lethargic.

Good luck with the steroids, I hope they stop the itching. You just can't seem to catch a break at the moment. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that everything settles down and all your meds do what they're supposed to while your body settles down and stops reacting badly to things. *waves magic wand* Begone, itch-demons!

I really need an early night, but I went and screwed up, took my pills two hours late and now I'm trying to get back on schedule without taking doses too close together. My brain has not been with it today, and then I got distracted by Stargate.... I think I'll set my alarm clock tomorrow so I get my meds taken at the right times. What a mess! *rolls eyes*

*hugs* You take care of yourself, Love J xxx

I am so behind on my posts. I see I already told you about the steroids. I repeated on another post. I told you about my swollen eye and lip, they went down mostly though my left eye still looks bad to me and the right eye has some tiny swelling on the bottom not the lid, I look like I have been up for days. lol! I'm scared though if it gets worse over night I will have to go to a hospital then. I wish that magic wand would hurry up and work! lol!

I'm sorry your pills got messed up. I hate it when I do that. I hope the rest of that night went better. :)
