A couple of Torchwood recs
Can you tell I'm avoiding my novel edits here
Recent fandom fortunes have been good to me, and there have been a couple of really excellent Owen-centric fics posted on AO3 lately, in addition to my delightful AU-Ex gift!

Beleriandings (6700 wds, Jack & Owen & OCs, character deaths)
This is an absolutely gorgeous canon-compliant futurefic, one part Doctor-Who-esque scifi and one part ghost/haunting fic. Who knows how the energy that animates Owen really works, anyway, or whether it could sustain him beyond the destruction of his physical body? This has a really lovely old-school-scifi feeling, and it hurts, but in the best way. I've seen various fics out there that find ways of making Ianto immortal, but I think this is the first one that I've seen do it for Owen, and the result is lovely.
For I Chose the World's Sad Roses bymoonlightrhosyn (5K, Owen + team)
The frame story for this teamfic is the alien plant greenhouse in the Hub, and Owen's reluctant custodianship of it, as it slowly becomes both a symbol of his integration into his friends' lives and a vehicle for taking care of their emotional wellbeing. A sympathetic look at all of the characters through two seasons, as well as the empathetic doctor side of Owen.
