Torchwood things

I wrote something for the Nightmare challenge at fan_flashworks:

ghosts in my head (Owen, team, 2700 wds)
Really just an excuse for team fluff. Set in late season two, with all the usual warnings that go along with Owen's canonical situation at that point.

And a few Torchwood-related gifsets and image sets from Tumblr that made me happy:

• John Barrowman and Burn Gorman draped all over each other and playfully kissing at a convention
• Burn Gorman and Naoko Mori being cute on Twitter ("A small cuddly person ... and Naoko.")
• Burn Gorman's FACE.
• Gif version of the 'Are you really going to let this beat you?' scene from 2x08
• A very pretty Tosh gifset
• The team being friends
• ... and another one.
• A pretty set with the whole team
• And another
• The team roles as chess pieces
• "Want to see that dead man dance, Tosh?"

I really enjoy how Torchwood fluff comes naturally with a backdrop of nightmares.

Burn Gorman and Naoko Mori being cute on Twitter ("A small cuddly person ... and Naoko.")

That is radioactively cute. I like your tag "I love one (1) bunch of idiots living in a sewer" (and also the gifset it belongs to). [edit] AND ALSO THE KISSING.

Aren't they darling?? I love how much they all seem to truly enjoy each other's company, and their level of comfort with each other. (Edit: The actors, I mean. Well, and the characters too.)

Yes! I was actually talking last night with spatch about how productions where the director brags about the realism of what their actors went through in order to achieve verisimilitude onscreen have come to set off red flags for me, because almost invariably the verisimilitude is suffering: everyone really was that cold, everyone really was that miserable, insecurities were played on and scripts were incomplete and with the exception of offscreen romances translating to onscreen chemistry, no one ever seems to brag about the shoots where the gorgeous, intimate, goofy camaraderie of the characters was exactly how the cast felt about one another. So I love discovering productions where that was true, where the people who look like they were having a blast really were, and I love that in the case of Torchwood it looks to have held long past the end of filming. It's much nicer.

(. . . I also love that in just about every gif or photo I have ever seen of Burn Gorman at a convention he looks like an adorable dork—I am fairly confident he's wearing his own glasses in "Adam"—and it just confirms my confusion that no one has ever cast him as the lead of a romantic comedy. Or any kind of romance, really, so long as it does not end tragically unresolved on account of production issues, been there, done that, got the telescope, thanks.)
