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!

Thank you!
How are you doing? Have you been searching for crystals on ebay lately? I will have to register again because it has been so long since I have bought or sold anything on there. I don't remember my password or anything. I had a paypal account under my old email address. I guess that account will just hang out in cyberspace forever. lol! I have no idea how to get into it, if it is still there.

I need those healing vibes and the prayers. You are so sweet. Thank you. :) I'm glad I have a good friend like you and I want to be better so I can shut-up about all this. lol! I'm getting tired of hearing myself talk! o_o

love you!
Deb. ♥

Ooooh, I'm exhausted! I went to collect my new glasses this morning - they have purple frames, very pretty! Then I had to pick up bread for mum, go to the other end of our main shopping street to get food for my rabbit, then all the way back to my favourite bakers for some sweet treats - the make delicious blackcurrant pies, mouthwatering gingerbread biscuits and the best macaroons in town. (In case you don't get those in America, they're flat, chewy coconut biscuit things with a slice of almond on the top).

Then I drove home to rest for a little while before a local school's summer carnival. Summer. Huh. I usually cycle there, it's not far and there's really nowhere to park, but I can't cycle while holding an umbrella. That's right, it was raining again. So I walked, with Collin who walks very fast and is hard to keep up with at the best of times, but I was hampered by wrestling with my umbrella in strong winds. At least we didn't have to queue when we got there!

There were a handful of stalls. some rides for the kids, and lots of ferrets from a ferret rescue place. Kids could pay to hold one or to take one for a walk on a leash. They're very cute. We battled round the stalls in the wind and rain, I bought 3 DVDs, a nice box to store some of my cross stitch threads in, and a cross stitch kit! Oh, and a nice zip up knitting bag full of knitting needles - that was a real bargain! There was a stall selling some Doctor Who action figures - sadly no Ood, I've been trying to get myself an Ood for a long time. (Don't ask me to explain what an Ood is, it's a Doctor Who alien and I can't describe it, lol!) Anyway, I found two Captain Jacks, so I bought them. They can entertain each other until I manage to get a Ianto!

Then, of course, we had to walk all the way back... My feet feel like they'll fall off any minute and I'm so tired! Still, I had fun, despite the bad weather.
