This piece was originally written to be one of the five things in Not with a bang or a whimper, but the betas pointed out that it didn't strictly fit in with the theme of the rest.
Nothing wrong with it, though, so you get it anyway.
Day 4.5
PG-13, Jack/Ianto. Children of Earth AU. Contains SPOILERS.

I always thought that promo pose was somewhat marsupial, but
sharpest_rose emailed me evidence this morning that shows me the error of my koala assumptions.
( separated at birth? )
Also, not sure how I feel about the fact that I seem to like those cheesy emo promo shots after seeing CoE. Hmm.

So, just say one was intending on going to see La Cage aux Folles, even quite possibly looking into booking tickets... What is the difference between stalls, dress and upper, and which would you recommend?
And any tips on who to book through to get the best deal?
And any other West End tips you feel like sharing, really.

THIS CRACKS ME UP ENDLESSLY:

I just want an icon of Ianto flying endlessly past on a white background, seriously.
The banner is for this SPOILERY Children of Earth fic challenge which makes me want to write for it more than any challenge has for several years mainly due to its awesomely hilarious rules.
TOTALLY DOING THAT.
Also in awesome (nonspoilery) fanart news: Ianto Jones: Battle Butler and what time IS it, ianto jones?
Sometimes deviantart gives me a massive happy. Then I lose all patience with the browsing process and don't visit it for another six months.
ION, progress on the 5 things fic is being made; need to shunt out one part and write a new one, but on plus side that means I get to post an outtake too!
Presently confounded by choosing a non-spoilery, non-boring title for it, and yaknow, getting around to write a last part for it.
Speaking of procrastination, I think it's time for breakfast.

Anyone wanting to avoid spoilers for Torchwood should avoid looking at my icons. Will only use spoilery icons on comments with people who have already watched it, not on posts or arbitrarily.
And yeah, if you want to avoid spoilers, then seriously, don't look at delicious.com any time soon either.

HOW COME NO ONE ON MY FLIST HAS POSTED ABOUT TORCHWOOD YET? IT'S BEEN 40 MINUTES!!1
trianne had me diving into the moving car at the train station then home at breakneck speed, so I managed to watch it as it aired (sans the first 10 minutes, which I will now watch on iPlayer).
I have Thoughts, but I think I want to watch this episode again and then the next four before my Thoughts are formulated enough to write down.
OMG TORCHWOOD YOU GUYS SRSLY.
PS NO SPOILERS, SPECULATION OR ANYTHING ABOUT FUTURE EPISODES IN THE COMMENTS, WHETHER VERIFIED, RUMOURED OR THEORISED. I AM NOT KIDDING.

Yes, the subject requires allcaps. I have been in a constant state of allcaps since the BB went live.
( three recs! )
And now I step away from the rest of the tabs I have open. Must pace myself... Save some for later... nngh...

I also want to make a SPECIAL NOTE here about the latest challenge at the flashfic_hub - idfic.
I am super-excited about this one, as it's an excuse for everyone to write a whole lot of squirmy (in the good way) button-pushing, and zomg, I may just write a million billion stories for it myself.
cupidsbow and I have listed a bunch of tropes over at the challenge post to give people inspiration if they need it.
TORCHWOOD AUTHORS, I'M LOOKING AT YOU. *does the fingers/eyes thing*
Come and play!

I'm not sure how the conversation started-- actually, I think it was a particularly entertaining fanfiction.net summary, but it resulted in one of those half-bullshitting, half-storytime conversations. Which
amand_r posted. And
laurab1 proceeded to make fanart for. Then, of course, feeling bored and writerly and a bit inspired, I scribbled out amand_r's preferred version. So then she wrote mine.
IT'S A GIANT CIRCUS OF CORSETRY. Frankly, it's all very exhausting, and I'm ready to go back to writing nice, staid gen, now. Like the rest of my Torchwood fic.

Ok, this is actually pretty cool - Doctor Who themed funeral for DW fan.
Have decided that that bit of Torchwood canon where Capns JH spent 5 years together in a time loop played out something like Armstrong & Miller.
