Fic Of The Week - Week Twenty Six

[bk_forever]

I'm late today, I know. So sorry. Mum forgot to pay the water bill - for two months! - and we got a final demand today, so I had to rush out and pay that, and of course she thought of a pile of stuff we needed from the shops, so I had to do that too. I was just getting rid of my latest migraine, so now of course it's come back. I don't think I like today much =(

Right, onto this week's fics. This week there are two and a bit...

First up is the short fic Disambiguation and its sequel, a 7 part series called Disambiguation: In These Stones. These are by the inimitable invisible_lift , always a pleasure to read! They're from August 2007 and January 2008.

Disambiguation is here: http://invisible-lift.livejournal.com/8042.html It's hard R or light NC-17, so... possible smut!
Summary: When the Rift shifts, Ianto finds himself caring for himself in ways he never expected. It's not long before he discovers that small mistakes can make a big difference, and that he might be the only hope for a Jack he's never met.

Disambiguation: In These Stones
Summary: Disambiguation is an AU that follows the exploits of a parallel Torchwood where the events of "End of Days" didn't go as smoothly as they do in canon. Features Andy Davidson as a member of the team. Picks up where the original Disambiguation one-off story leaves off, so you'll probably want to give it a look. Rating as in the original one-shot.

Part 1 is here: http://invisible-lift.livejournal.com/14475.html and parts are linked.

Fic number two for this week is an AU from November 2009. The Darian Con is 6 shortish parts, rated PG-13, and is by zsazsa4168 .

Author's Notes: AU: I wanted to write a TW fic as noir fiction in the tradition of Gardner, Chandler and Hammett. Except, I don’t like to write Jack when he’s too dark and morally ambiguous, or when his dark side brings painful dysfunction into his relationship with Ianto. We lived through that this past summer, right? So perhaps I’ve created a new genre, fluff noir? Hardboiled fluff? You people
and your quaint little categories.

Summary: Jack and Ianto are private dicks. Gwen Cooper hires them to find a stolen object. But all is not as it seems….

Part 1 is here: http://zsazsa4168.livejournal.com/2819.html and as before, all parts are linked.

So there you have them - two fics and a little extra, they look good to me!

Happy reading, everybody!

These look interesting Jean.
I'm sorry about your migraine. Poor thing you seem to get them all the time.

I had a difficult night. All the antidepressant is out of my system now, yet my top lip swelled up and a little of the right side of my face last night. I don't get!? What else could be causing this...maybe terrible stress or the pain pill. I didn't sleep well and feel like passing out right now. Saw Nancy, NP., didn't go too well, got more pain meds, but she is still waiting my records from my gyn's office before she will refer me to a pain clinic and she acts like she doesn't want to anyway.

She did finally break down and give me a prescription for Amitriptaline (speliing) antidepressant for the Neuorpathy I told you about. I'm scared, but I guess I will give it a shot. She didn't want to give it me. I need to get it from my Psychiatrist who is on med leave. I am going to see someone there on July 7. Anyway Nancy said I could get the med from her, but she will put in my record that it goes against doctor's advice. That is to cover her ass in case I end up very sick or dead, I guess. lol!

I hope the new antidepressant works. You really shouldn't still be swelling up now you're off the other one though. Hopefully it's just the last gasp as the last dregs leave your system.

Yeah, the migraines suck. My head aches a bit now, not too bad, but I'm exhausted, I just wanted to relax today to shake off the rest of the migraine, I DID NOT want to be out traipsing around the shops. *sigh*

I recommenend at least reading the first short fic, Disambiguation - it's brilliant, funny and I just loved it. The series, Disambiguation: In These Stones, is really good too. I've read three chapters. Four more to go. I didn't want to stop reading, but it's late and I'm tired.

I've read the first two fics in the past- they are excellent. Have now read The Darian Con. very funny and well written.
keep up the recs!

I love invisible_lift 's writing, so I'm loving that one - halfway through already! Hopefully will read the rest tonight.

I'm looking forward to The Darian Con! There's a sequel to that called A Gumshoe Chronicle, available on the author's journal as a PDF if you're interested. I think it's the last entry (or at least among the last few) on the journal.

I'm busy trying to choose next week's fic, so the recs will hopefully continue, barring unforeseen circumstances!

Glad you're still enjoying!

Oh, Lifty, om nom nom nom. I love every word of his work.

Ditto! But as with all things, I've never got around to reading the multi-parters, so this one was deliciously new to me. It's kind of great to get to read some of these classics for the first time, even though it's years after they were written. Like I've saved myself special treats. Lifty never disappoints! =)
