Two stories from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thestopwatch, which has played host to all sorts of fantastic fics:
A Process in the Weather
by anonymous atthestopwatch
Torchwood ; Jack/Ianto ; soft R ; 5,000 words ; Exit Wounds spoilers
Ianto knows all about the fragility of the human body; he knows how it bleeds and how it breaks. And he knows, as he thinks of the cold uncaring perfection of metal, that it is better than the alternative.
This is an absolutely beautiful story about grief, touch, and the rain.

Que Samsara, Sera
by anonymous atthestopwatch
Torchwood ; Jack/Ianto ; R ; 9,000 words
‘When all desire has vanished, a person will not be reborn anymore.’ Jack may be immortal, but Ianto Jones is nothing if not resourceful. If he can help it, Jack will never be alone again.
It's an idea that's been done a lot. This take on it works - it's strange and sad and not a little messed up, but gorgeous for it. It was posted two weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it.

I found this this morning, a product of the recent VividCon, and I can't stop watching it. Have I mentioned how much I'm falling in love with fanvids? Because really. They can be so, so very good. I can feel a big post coming on. In the meantime, this completely blew me away this morning.

I'm the Doctor. Look me up.
I suspect anything I say about it will ruin your first viewing. Just watch it, really.
