Minute Fic

author's choice - crying in the darkness - Your character appears a power onto him/herself, until late in the night, someone discovers him/her deepest secret....that he/she cries himself to sleep in his lonely bed.

Doctor Who - I can see the Doctor easily obsessing on something or someone if he was to let himself let go of his strict control and fling it to the four winds, so I dare ya...oh and be nice, and include this line, will ya..... "Okay so when you say obsession...you're not saying that in a bad. way...." This is an easy xover with Torchwood, Doc/Jack fans.

Torchwood - Ep related - Random Shoes - Eugene Jones Fic - In this episode Gwen fixates on the death of Eugene Jones. Do a story where Jack or one of the others is the one to lock down of the young man's death and goes off by his or her self for reasons of their own to find out what happened to Eugene. (or several stories letting each of the team fixate)

Torchwood - Ep Related - Small World - Jack once told Gwen that he doesn't sleep. She never questions it, but in Small World we see him sleeping, experiencing a nightmare involving the fairies. A nice lead into the story line...and also a nice peek into Jack's secret fears. Also leads us into this challenge as it happens.
I heard, or read, from some source or other, probably a dvd clip or what-not, that Jack is actually afraid of the fairie-folk. Well, who can blame him.
In "The Torchwood Archive" ongoing archive notes (Jack Harkness page) he states that after the case only Ianto, just back from a 14 day suspension from the Lisa fiasco, is still talking to him (Jack). The challenge this time....Let Ianto catch onto Jack's on-going and increasingly terrifying nightmares, and deal with his own conflicting feelings with Lisa's death as he comes to terms with how to help Jack deal with his issues, if he is willing to help him at all in his own fragile state of mind. related pairing - Jack/Fairie (don't kill me, I'm feverish, remember)
*Second Pairing alternative okay, so as long as you use Jack/Ianto in the pairing, you're good to use your favorite other pairing for whatever purpose pleases you

Torchwood - ep related - Estelle Cole fic - Blast into the past when Jack met Estelle. Do some Jack and Estelle romance pieces. Love at first sight is so sweet, so play it up. Let Jack play the besotted sap. Come on, guys. Ya know he's got it in him. Just buried so deep under that devilish rogue persona he uses to protect his bruised and battered heart from lost loves of the past happening again.
*Second Pairing alternative okay, so as long as you use Jack/Estelle as one pairing, you're good to use your favorite other present day pairing.

Torchwood - short story related - Consequences - The Baby Farmers - Pet Freak - Am reading the first story in the new book released this month(?) that flashes back to the era when Jack began working with Torchwood. brought back memories of those two tough ladies Alice and Emily and I though I'd like to see them playing a little cuddle games, so since I don't really do femme...well, here's hoping some of you out there are willing to take pity on me and write me some Alice and Emily, with maybe a dash of Charles playing with the torchwood pet freak as he fondly calls Jack.
As usual, to keep the story in line with the various lists, you may use the present day pairing of your choice to keep Jack's place in time in balance. (or post the story as OT)
* New characters and pairings: Alice Guppy, Alice/Emily, Emily Holroyd, Charles Gaskell, Jack/Charles Gaskell (Alice, Emily and Charles were Torchwood when Jack was recruited)
