The Rule of Winter by tanarian

Gen

Ianto exacts his revenge after the events of Cyberwoman. Clever and crying out for a sequel.

The Mirror is the Wall by basingstoke

The team of Torchwood Three meet their alt_universe counterparts. Deftly written and incredibly sad.

He Died and He Lived by becky_writing

Gen

Powerful and evocative, contrasting drabbles of Jack's life and death.

Taste by cyberamanda

Jack/Ianto

Insanely hot pwp with Ianto playing with a tied up and blindfolded Jack. Wonderful stuff.

Any Dream Will Do by szm

Gen slight Jack/Ianto

Brilliantly twisted fairytale with Owen as the fairy God-Mother, Tosh the Princess and Gwen the Pixie. Amusing and suspenseful with a clever ending.

Reach Out and Touch Someone by tanarian

Jack/Ianto

After Jack leaves at the end of End of Days he calls Ianto from the Tardis. Really quite brilliant, very lengthy fic detailing Jack and Ianto interacting by phone during Jack's absence. Funny, sweet and powerful (especially the beautifully judged sequence with a sucidal Ianto) with a really satisfying ending.

The Journey to Caerleon by maverick0324 and clarity_lore

Jack/Ianto

Jack and Ianto become affected by an alien device with life changing consequences for both of them.

Hugely entertaining and well paced 10 part fic in what looks to be an ongoing series. Critically Jack and Ianto get far too domestic far too quickly in the story (setting it a mere month after Cyberwoman requires a fair degree of suspension of disbelief when the boys start playing happy families) and Arthur seems to be written a little older than he's meant to be but this is practically a critic-proof unashamedly romantic popcorn flick of a story which despite being sugary sweet at times only a complete cynic could fail to be moved by. And Arthur is the most adorable OC in a long time!
