Id Pro Quo

idproquo released this week - find the AO3 collection here - and I got THREE gifts and they're SO SO GOOD. ♥ ♥ ♥

Dragonfire (Iron Fist, 3K words, Ward & Danny)
Gloriously feelsy presumed-dead fic. SO MANY FEELS. This broke my heart and put it back together in the best way, and they're both so them and it's just so AAAHHHH.

got a cannon ball in my stomach, got a desert in my mouth (Iron Fist, 1400 words, Ward & Danny)
Ward is rescued from being tortured and can't quite deal with Danny not being there to help in the first place. There's so much going on between the lines here; it's like 10K of fic in under 2K. So much lovely hurty-feelsy relationship building, and a great sarcastic Ward voice; I would read 50K of this. ♥

Panacea (Torchwood, 3K, Owen/Ianto, explicit)
When I showed up as a last-minute pinch hit, I decided to add Torchwood to make me more matchable, and I got this lovely and iddy gift! Sex pollen and rough sex in a cave, with messy awkward feelings and just generally a very "yep, this is Torchwood" kind of feel to the whole thing. I LUV.

Torchwood fic: Blood on Steel

Me: So I should work on my H/C Exchange fic this weekend.
My brain: Or you could write 12K of Torchwood h/c instead.

Thank you so much to frith_in_thorns for Britpicking this for me!

Title: Blood on Steel
Fandom: Torchwood
Word Count: 12.3K
Contents: Some gory violence; set in late season 2; gen with canon levels of Jack/Ianto
Summary: An alien booby trap turns the Hub into a deathtrap. Lucky thing it doesn't react to someone with no vital signs. Now Owen is their only hope. More specifically, he's Ianto's only hope.

This plot is shamelessly ripped off from, or at least inspired by, the Stargate SG1 episode "Message in a Bottle." It also owes inspiration to a similarly-inspired-by-that-episode fic in SGA fandom, Empty Bottle, which did something slightly different with the concept that's a bit more like what I'm doing with it.
