Author:

qafkinnetic
Pairings/Characters: Any and all pairings, any and all characters
Spoilers/Warnings: Basically, proceed with caution. Lots of spoilers, not many warnings.
Summary: 50 out of my 300 drabbles of either 100, 150, or 200 words. All drabbles are 100 words unless otherwise indicated. Each drabble was inspired by a single word prompt given to me by random followers on Tumblr.

( Set 5 )

I'm just gonna dump a bunch of unfinished fics here. If anyone has suggestions as to where I could go with one, let me know. If you want to adopt one and continue writing it yourself, let me know.

Author:

Characters/Pairings: Jack/Ianto, Owen/Ianto
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ianto wonders if this is his brain’s new version of fucked up, falling in love with the people he’s supposed to hate.
Authors' Notes: This story is way, way longer than I originally anticipated. It also took me forever to write, for some reason. Thanks to

snarkymuch for betaing! The story was inspired a bit by this photo manip. This was written for the "rejection" square of my

hc_bingo card. It's more hurt than comfort.

Two short fics, both written on GIF posts on Tumblr out of sudden inspiration.

Title: In Losing What I Am, I Become Who We Are (Alternate Happy Ending)
Authors:

Characters/Pairings: The Torchwood Team, sans Jack.
Word Count: 43,192
Rating: R
Warnings/Spoilers: Warning for violence and major character death.
Beta:

snarkymuch, Neil's parents, Tumblr user consultingmidgardian.
Summary: The discovery of a mechanical Weevil beneath Cardiff starts a chain of events that threatens to destroy Torchwood. Jack is still missing, Ianto seems to be going mad after an injury and Owen is forced to confront his worst fears. When the people of Cardiff start turning into clockwork automatons, things seem hopeless. And then, when Owen decides to investigate Ianto’s strange behaviour, they get worse.
Authors' Notes: SO MUCH LOVE for our betas:

snarkymuch and Neil's parents, and our Brit-picker, consultingmidgardian. We'd also like to thank The SCP Foundation (http://www.scp-wiki.net/), where we found a key plot element.
This fic was supposed to be short -- we decided to aim for a thousand words, expecting it to expand to two or three times that. But Neil tends to write mostly novel-length fics, and Lex wanted an actual plot, and we found all these great ideas, and the next thing we knew it was over 40,000 words! As Neil said when we were trying to think of a title: 'Somehow I think “The Epic Fic that Would Not End Oh God” would convey the wrong mood.'

We wrote two endings. Neil wrote a happy one and Lex wrote a sad one. This is the alternate happy ending.

Finally got around to making a masterlist. Everything's sorted alphabetically and by fandom.
Please, please comment on fics! I love feedback! It helps me write and it gives me new ideas. I like hearing what people have to say about my stories!

Title: And To The Pieces Of You And The Pieces Of Them

Warning(s): Well, sex.
Summary: Jack has slept with every employee of Torchwood except for Gwen.
Author's Note: So this plot had been niggling at the back of my head for a while. And then I listened to the Torchpenis podcast for Combat, and they commented that "shotgun [in the SUV] goes to the one on Jack's penis" and I knew I had to write this. Thank you to snarkymuch and various Tumblr users for beta-ing!

This was written for the 2012

torchwood_fest for the prompt “Ever notice when someone tells you that you’ve asked a very good question, you usually don’t get a very good answer?”
Thank you to

snarkymuch, poisonedrainbows, ashleigh-k-spring, and remembering-budapest for being awesome betas and letting me know that my bizarre ramblings made a good story.

Summary: There must be fifty ways to leave your lover. Torchwood has explored far too many.
Author's Note: I didn't write 50 pieces. That would be too much. I heard the song by Paul Simon on the radio and plot bunnies everywhere!
