Fanfiction Recs

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Use this post to rec your favorite fics that keep in style of the comm. We only ask one thing of you when you rec - please put the type of fic it is in the subject line (ie: immortal Ianto, vampire Ianto, telepathic Ianto, etc.). Tag if you want, but if you don't we'll go back and tag according to your subject line.

At some point, if we have enough recs, we'll do a master list sorted by the type of long living Ianto fic.

I hope to be back soon with a few of my favorites.

Later!

Time Lord Ianto

[bookwrm89.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited about this comm! It's going to be so much fun!

Here are a couple of my favorite Time Lord Ianto fics:
Pocket Watch Boy (http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-16059/Mhalachai+Pocket+Watch+Boy.htm) by Mhalachai

Change For The World (http://gracie-musica.livejournal.com/92768.html) by gracie_musica

Oops...there's also the Collective Dreaming (http://beth-mccombs.livejournal.com/10507.html) series by beth_mccombs

As I think of more, I'll add them!

Wizard/Mage Ianto

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

I'm going to start with this rec because, while I'm not a Harry Potter fan at all, I'm enjoying this series - and really, it did start to plant the suggestion of this comm in my head. So, I give you for Wizard!Ianto...
beth_mccombs's House of Torchwood (http://beth-mccombs.livejournal.com/60480.html) series, or otherwise known as Wizardverse.

And while I'm at it, another series near and dear to my heart with Mage!Ianto - gracie_musica's Mageverse (http://gracie-musica.livejournal.com/203935.html).

I'll be back with more recs.

Oh but where to start....

Re: Oh but where to start....

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

*laughs* And welcome!
You hit on a few I was meaning to find the URLs for them. So we're off to a great start! (Exit Wounds was the first immortal Ianto fic I read way back when I first started to read Torchwood fanfic - other than Gracie's, that I was helping as beta at the time).

[cjharknessgirl.livejournal.com]

Teach and Bookwrm listed most of my favs, but here are some more I love! :)

teachwriteslash's Unverse (http://teachwriteslash.livejournal.com/163412.html), Empath Ianto, Everything That Rises Must Converge (http://teachwriteslash.livejournal.com/162759.html), Miles to Go Before We Sleep (http://teachwriteslash.livejournal.com/178127.html), Promises to Keep (http://teachwriteslash.livejournal.com/179708.html) and Adeste Fidelis (Oh Come, All Ye Faithful) (http://teachwriteslash.livejournal.com/227728.html)

I'll be back with more when I think of them!

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

You took care of the rest of my immortal Ianto fics I was going to rec. LOL! And some have more than immortal.

[iceshade.livejournal.com]

oh good, someone did it. I was just going to say practically everything by Teach XD

[teachwriteslash.livejournal.com]

****************awwwwwwwwwwwww*******************

Technically I am about 50/50. Nods ...

Unverse - both immortal ("and apparently fertile" - Ianto)

EI - oh who are we kidding??

Tales of the Tardishire/Time for Every Matter - both Mortal

Semper Fi - we shall see

[xennie-b.livejournal.com]

*Bounces* Oh I love this community already :D

Hmmm.... Most of my favourites are already up there... but here's a couple more off the top of my head

Home Coming verse (http://merucha.livejournal.com/24179.html) by (http://merucha.livejournal.com/profile)merucha (http://merucha.livejournal.com/)

Lynchpin verse (http://hel-bee.livejournal.com/21730.html) by (http://hel-bee.livejournal.com/profile)hel-bee (http://hel-bee.livejournal.com/)

[otrame.livejournal.com]

So are self-pimps considered uncouth? I have one story in which Ianto is with Jack for more than 60 years.

[otrame.livejournal.com]

Oooppppss"

Forgot to link it: Dance Me to the End of Love (http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=31942)

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Self pimps are fine as long as it keeps to the comm's rules on the profile page.

Long life should mean much longer than an average human life. And no fics containing permanent death. Happy endings only here, please.

Other than that, self pimping is encouraged.

[otrame.livejournal.com]

Okay, then Dance me doesn't fit. Still like the idea of the community. I've been living in deNial since last summer. It's nice to know I have so many neighbors.

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Seems to be more than 9 of us here, and that makes me happy. I needed this comm, I realized once I started to see posts. As safe zone for those of us in denial land.

Nothing against your fic, 'cause I think it's wonderful that Jack and Ianto got 60 years together and that's beautiful. :D It's just after this summer, permanent death fics, no matter how much times goes by still makes me upset. I'm sure there's enough warning here by now, that if someone wants to read it, they know what to expect.

[iceshade.livejournal.com]

teleen_fiction's Legacy of the Bad Wolf (http://teleen-fiction.livejournal.com/6423.html) has a very long lived Ianto

and Teach's Mischief Managed (http://teachwriteslash.livejournal.com/237772.html) has Wizard/Immortal Ianto

[khellar.livejournal.com]

That community is the most brilliant idea ever. :3

I'd like to add to all the amazing fic already reced  misswinterhill  Non Linear (http://misswinterhill.livejournal.com/12454.html?format=light) it's technically a reaper Ianto story but I consider it as an Immortal Ianto even if he dies in the first two. lines.

Several recs: Time Lord Ianto, Vampire Ianto, Jack-type Immortal Ianto, and cyborg Ianto

[alchemistpotion.livejournal.com]

Re: Several recs: Time Lord Ianto, Vampire Ianto, Jack-type Immortal Ianto, and cyborg Ianto

[erikssiren.livejournal.com]

I second all the a_silver_story recc's, she's amazing!

[khellar.livejournal.com]

Oh and there is:

sarcasticchick Proof of your Existence (http://www.tardisbigbang.com/Round1/19_proof.php) (Cyborg Ianto) and The Windhovers (http://sarcasticbabble.livejournal.com/22810.html) 'verse (alien Ianto).

clarity_lore The North Wind and the Sun (http://community.livejournal.com/torch_wood/1818326.html) (TARDIS/Immortal Ianto)

dune_drd Butterflies And Hurricanes  (http://dune-drd.livejournal.com/368285.html) (Time Lord Ianto) That one must the best drabble ever.

Immortal Ianto

[unrequited1984.livejournal.com]

hel_bee "Breaking Up The Routine": http://hel-bee.livejournal.com/28959.html

The story's not so much about how Ianto became an immortal but how Jack and Ianto live their lives together with eternity stretched out before them! A realistic and lovely look at how it might actually work!

Extended Life

[bookwrm89.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'm not exactly sure how to classify this one so I'm just going to call it 'extended life'.

Shades of Ianto (http://sarcasticbabble.livejournal.com/12581.html) by sarcasticbabble

I think this was the very first fic I ever read in the fandom and it's still the one I go back and re-read. There are hints that Ianto may be part Time Lord, he has some connection to the 'fairies' - which ultimately is what brings him back from the dead.
It's a beautifully written story that, in my opinion, if you're a fan of Ianto, you need to have read this fic.

Time Lord Ianto

A cute work in progress I found a while back on fanfiction.net.

'Baby in the Hub' by IantoxJack

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3764759/1/Baby_in_the_Hub

[jantolover90.livejournal.com]

Don't have anything to rec at the moment. Just writing to say thankyou so so so much for creating this community. I have been living in denial and have no intention of leaving it unless R.T Davies regains his sanity/ heart and brings back Ianto. These stories will help to build a very nice comfy home in the world of denial. so glad to know I have neighbours in here with me.
