Title: Feels Like The Cold Has Come Through
Author:

qafkinnetic
Rating: PG-13
Pairings/Characters: Ianto, Jack, Gwen
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for Exit Wounds
Summary: Jack has barely spoken to Gwen, barely looked at him. Now they’re being left behind by all the spectres of the Hub, and all the things that are too close to mention.
Author's Note: Written for my "forgotten" square of

angst_bingo. I thought of the last scene first, and remembered I'd been wanting to do a Jack post-Exit Wounds fic for a while now. So this happened. Thanks to

writinstuff for betaing!

Title: Constellations Of Dark Stars
Author:

qafkinnetic
Rating: PG-13
Pairings/Characters: Ianto, Jack
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for Cyberwoman
Summary: Ianto and Jack react to the events of Cyberwoman. Ianto is a universe of hurt.
Author's Note: Written for my "consequences" square of

angst_bingo. Finally I've written a proper post-Cyberwoman fic! It's like a Torchwood coming of age thing.

Title: Chasing The Starlight
Author: qafkinnetic
Rating: PG
Pairings/Characters: Jack
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Summary: Jack looks out on the lights of the city.

Title: I Ddim Ond Dweud Y Gair "Ffarwél" (And One Last Time To Say "Farewell")
Author:

qafkinnetic
Rating: PG
Pairings/Characters: Torchwood Team, Myfanwy
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Summary: All things must die. Even if you're the one who loved them.
Author's Note: My cat was diagnosed with cancer today. So I wrote this. Which is a rather morbid reaction, but what can I say? The title is from a Welsh folksong called Myfanwy.

( I Ddim Ond Dweud Y Gair "Ffarwél" )

Title: Untwist My Knotted Mind
Author: qafkinnetic
Rating: PG
Pairings/Characters: Owen, Diane, Jack, Ianto
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for Out Of Time and Adrift
Summary: He looks at the frightened woman beside him and can see no trace of the strength and ferocity he fell in love with. Now it’s his turn to help fix her.
Author's Note: Written for that-thing-from-that-place, who wanted Owen finding out about Flat Holm when Diane comes back out of the Rift damaged. This fic was meant to be about 1,000 words. Obviously, it got away from me. Thank you to writinstuff for such lovely speed beta-ing!

( Untwist My Knotted Mind )

Title: K9's Lament
Author:

qafkinnetic
Rating: G
Pairings/Characters: Jack Harkness, Torchwood team, K-9
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Summary: The team go to Ealing to collect a dear friend's pet.
Author's Note: This story completely ignores and denies the deaths of Owen, Ianto, and Tosh, and also ignores the canon fact that K-9 left Sarah Jane. The title comes from a song by Chameleon Circuit (even though the song is about something totally different).

( K9's Lament )

Title: All These Nights Of Fucking Things Up Won't Leave You Clean
Author:

qafkinnetic
Rating: R
Pairings/Characters: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones
Spoilers/Warnings: Warning for violence.
Summary: Jack wonders belatedly if maybe he should have come later, when the pain isn't so raw.
Author's Note: This was written for that-thing-from-that-place on Tumblr after a conversation about Ianto punching Jack in Cyberwoman, and for the "hurt" square in my

alphabetasoup table, because it fulfills multiple kinds of hurt. The lovely awabubbles has drawn a companion fanart piece here.

( All These Nights Of Fucking Things Up Won't Leave You Clean )

Title: It's Not The Same, Their Light And Yours
Author: qafkinnetic
Pairings/Characters: Jack Harkness
Spoilers/Warnings: None.
Summary: You wish you could change their lives. You wish you could make her see.
Author's Note: Written for the 'jealous' square of my alphabetasoup grid. Thank you to snarkymuch and writinstuff for betaing!

( It's Not The Same, Their Light And Yours )

Title: Pause
Author: qafkinnetic
Characters/Pairings: Owen, Ianto (Or Owen/Ianto)
Rating: PG
Summary: Time has stopped. Ianto can't cope with more dead friends.
Authors' Notes: I was just thinking, what did Ianto and the others do in the span of time when Jack was getting the second Glove after Owen's death? So this happened.

( Pause )

Title: 300 Torchwood Drabbles (Set 5)
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.

Title: This Thing Is Built From Broken Parts
Author:

qafkinnetic
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.
