Torchwood Finder List--Jack Backstory

This list was made in response to this request for stories mention Jack's childhood or show that's he not from the 21st Century. It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:jackbackstory.

I've split this list into two parts. The first lists stories about Jack's younger years, while he was still living on the Boeshane Peninsula (or at least they start there). The second lists stories that show Jack still in his--for lack of a better term--formative years, before he met the Doctor and while he was still, more or less, in his native time and place.

I don't think I did a great job listing stories that showed Jack being out of place in the here and now, so I might go back and refine the list at a later date.

Torchwood Finder List--Post Children of Earth Non-Fixit Stories

This list was made in response to this request for post-Children of Earth stories. The request was for any good post-Children of Earth stories, but since I already had a list of fixit stories, I made this list of non-fixit stories to compliment it for the full Children of Earth experience. This list is tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:postcoenonfixit. The fixit list is tagged under storyfinder:fixit.

As usual, I've gone broad with my list, and put asterisks beside my favorites. I've also indicated the primary characters and pairings next to the links.

Torchwood Finder List--Jack/Ianto Post-Something Borrowed Happy Endings

I will sleep soon, I promise, and stop posting lists to [livejournal.com profile] twgenrefinders and therefore stop spamming this journal with them. But first...

This list was made in response to this request for post-Something Borrowed stories featuring Jack/Ianto and a happy ending (angst a bonus). It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:jackiantopostsomethingborrowedhappyending. (Type that three times fast. ;))

There was one story I waffled about including, because, while it's a darn good story, it was borderline on one of the parameters. I've put a "highlight to read" note on it so you can decide for yourself if that factor matters to you.

Torchwood Finder List--Jack/Other Stories

This list was made in response to this request for Jack/Other stories. I wasn't sure if crossover characters were okay with the original poster, but I thought they'd be handy to list. So, I split the list into two main parts: stories where Jack is with an original (or historical) character, and stories where he's with a non-Whoverse fictional character. I've tagged the whole list on Delicious under storyfinder:jacknonwhoversecharacters.

Torchwood Finder List--Tosh/Owen

This list was made in response to this request for Tosh/Owen stories. In most of them, the Tosh/Owen storyline is in the background, but I've put asterisks next to the stories where their characters are featured more prominently. I've also indicated other pairings in the story, and whether the pairing is just a PWP. I've tagged these stories on Delicious under storyfinder:toshowen.

Torchwood Finder List--Parenting Stories

This list was made in response to this request for stories where the characters are parents of older children (with an emphasis on Jack and Ianto being parents). It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:parenting. I tried to stick to stories where we see the parenting in the story or where the parent aspect is major plot point, and not just list stories where the characters have older children. Sometimes the parenting parts are only sections of larger stories, but I've tried to make a note of those.

The first section lists the stories in which Jack and Ianto have children together, or are raising one another's children. The second section lists stories where Jack has children and Ianto wasn't involved with the upbringing. The third section is theoretically about stories in which other characters have children, but in practice this seems to mostly mean Gwen, with one story about Ianto.

Torchwood Finder List--Non-Torchwood Alternate Universe Stories

This list was made in response to this request for Jack/Ianto stories that take place in a non-Torchwood AU, or where Jack and Ianto have left Torchwood. The whole list is tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:notorchwoodau. Stories where the characters have left Torchwood are additionally tagged under storyfinder:leavingtorchwoodau. I also got kind of pendantic, and included stories where Jack has left Torchwood post-Children of Earth. Those are tagged storyfinder:leavingtorchwoodpostcoe.

Given all that, I've divided the list into three parts. First are the AU stories where Torchwood isn't there or never existed. Second are stories where Torchwood existed, but the characters aren't with Torchwood any more, or leave Torchwood. Third are stories where Jack has left Torchwood post-Children of Earth.

The original request was for Jack/Ianto stories, but here I've included stories with other pairings, indicated in parentheses.

Torchwood Finder List--Jack/Ianto Break-Up Stories

This list was made in response to this request for stories where Jack and Ianto break up (not necessarily permanently). These stories are tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:jackiantobreakup. Although all these stories feature Jack/Ianto (one way or another), several of them also have Jack or Ianto paired with others, noted after the links.

Torchwood Finder List--Time Travel Fix Stories

This list was made in response to this request for timetravel fix stories (not "fixit"s necessarily, just stories that altered canon events). It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:timetravelfixes. ETA: Some time after I posted this list, I realized that I had, at some previous point, made a storyfinder:fixit list. While there is, obviously, some overlap, the fixit list has a lot more stories than the "Children of Earth" section in this post, so if you're looking for those stories you might want to check out that tag.

I split these up into three categories. The "Children of Earth" fix stories were enough to merit their own section, and I decided to split up the other stories between fixing things that happened in canon and fixing things that didn't (for instance, going in back in time to rescue a team member who'd been sucked into a vortex, fixing something in the non-canon future, etc.), since I wasn't sure if the OP was interested in those or not. I've indicated which character(s) travel in time after the link.

Torchwood Finder List--Retconned Ianto

This list was made in response to this request for stories about Ianto being retconned. It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:retconnedianto. The original request was for Jack/Ianto stories, but since there are some Ianto retcon stories that feature other pairings, I've since added another section.

I've separated the list into three parts. First, there are stories where Ianto is retconned after Cyberwoman (the main part of the original request). The second section is Jack/Ianto stories where Ianto is retconned, and the third part is the aforementioned other pairing section.

Torchwood Finder List--Ianto/Other Men

This request, originally posted in February 2009, was for stories in which Ianto is with another male character who is not Jack (aka Ianto/OMCWINJ :)). Since then, I've seen several requests for different pairings in the list, so I decided it would be useful to update and expand the original.

Because all the individual pairings already have their own tags on Delicious, this whole list will be tagged under storyfinder:iantoothermennotjack. The stories that feature pairings with other Torchwood or Doctor Who characters will be tagged under storyfinder:iantootherwhoversemen. Stories where Ianto is paired with non-Whoverse characters, including original characters, will be tagged storyfinder:iantoothermen.

Although the primary purpose of this list is to highlight stories that don't feature Jack/Ianto, the fact that it's a canon pairing means that their relationship will inevitably be referenced even in stories where Ianto is with someone else. If the Jack/Ianto relationship is ongoing or significant, I've tried to make a note of it. Some stories with multiple discrete pairings will appear under more than one pairing label.

First, have some communities:

Torchwood Finder List--Ianto Whump

Flu season seems to have brought out a desire for readers to wallow in the discomfort of others. :) This list was made in response to this request for Ianto whump. It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:iantowhump. Not surprisingly, since the request includes a) Ianto and b) Ianto being hurt, this is another long list. I've put asterisks beside my favorites to aid the overwhelmed.

In case you're not familiar with the term "whump," it (usually) refers to hurt/comfort stories where the hurt is mostly physical, and also where the "hurt" part of the story significantly outweighs the "comfort" part. Used to be called "get" stories, if that helps.

I probably should have mentioned long before this that, while I don't put summaries and comments on these journal lists, I always include the author's summary (if provided) and sometimes add commentary on the Delicious bookmarks. One day I'll copy that stuff over here....

Torchwood Finder List--Jack/Ianto Hurt/Comfort

This list was made in response to this request for Jack/Ianto hurt/comfort, preferably long, no rating too high. It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:jackiantohurtcomfort. I decided to focus on stories that were at least 5,000 words or longer (though I slipped a few shorter favorites in). I tried to split the list into physical vs. emotional hurt/comfort to make it more managable, but there was so much overlap I had to give up. So, I went for the Big Huge List (with asterisks).
