How do I listen to this whole thing?! I’m so new to Torchwood, and I need content!!! Specifically Janto content, but that’s neither here nor there. If audio dramas are the best I can get, someone please point me in the right direction!!! I’m dying over here!!!
Y’all remember how heartwrenching Outbreak was? You just want to feel a bit of happiness again? Well then here you go! Have some cute little moments of jealous!Ianto plus a whole lot of TMI (or at least Gwen would term it that it seems) and fun from the beginning of Outbreak - #NoAngst guaranteed!!
Disclaimer: I own none of this and neither am I making any profit with it, I am just sharing it to the spread the joy.

Idea: “heterobaiting” where at first you think it’s a show about heteros but then suddenly everyone was secretly gay the whole time

I think we deserve a soft epilogue, my love. We are good people and we’ve suffered enough.

TORCHWOOD FANFICS TROPES AND STEREOTYPES
(Because lately I’ve read too many fanfics and I don’t know what to do with all that knowledge)
THE TEAM
- they never sleep apparently
- Always drinking Ianto’s coffee but at the same time always ask Ianto for coffee (?)
- When writers need some fluff to happen they use the phrase “the rift was strangely quiet that week, there was just a bunch of weevils to hunt” uh, how convenient.
- If I see another post countrycide fic istg
- Why there are so many coe fix-it and just a bunch of exit wounds fix-it?
- When a fic is post exit wounds there is always this angsty air around about hiring some new people (just write some fluffy before coe fic for my mental health please)
-The team either eats pizza or chinese, that’s it.
JACK
- he’s always horny (but that’s also in canon so idk)
- Doesn’t really pay that much attention to Gwen which is just because janto shippers are salty
- He’s either very angsty brooding on a rooftop or super happy without a reason, there’s no between
- Innuendos
- People only write about his ptsd after tytnw but never about his past :(
- If he doesn’t comment about Ianto’s suit is he really Jack?
- Goes looking for Ianto in the archives for S E X all the time
- Jumps in front of bullets for fun and Ianto is always grrrr
- “U canT unDerStanD immOrtalitY” or “I wouLd’T wiSh it On mY worsT enemy so no IANTO U CANT BECOME IMMORTAL”
- Hates paperwork, you wonder what did he do without Ianto before
TOSH
- She’s needed for checking CCTV and hacking but most of the time writers forget to characterize her :’(
- Ten times more shy around Owen than canon
- Apparently she’s Ianto’s BFF when in canon we have almost no scenes with them (I wish there were ugh)
- Pls write more about her that it isn’t in correlation with Owen or Ianto
OWEN
- I swear this man never calls Ianto by his name in fics, he only calls him Teaboy
- The phrase “He went into doctor mode” just appears whenever someone is hurt
- People forget to write him bi :(
- Owen/Ianto friendship fics are amazing and soft
- HE IS EITHER A F ASSHOLE or just a softie
- Write more about his relationship with Jack don’t forget them pls!
- Always doing some autopsies on weevils or a hoix
- Owen/Tosh in janto fics is also amazing
- He’s either Ianto’s big brother or cares about Ianto only for his coffee
- Where is his relationship with Gwen? No I don’t mean their sexual relationship, I mean their amazing friendship
IANTO
- Writers love to make him suffer (it’s me, I’m writers)
- Why does he blush so much in fics? I don’t remember him blushing that much in canon
- Apparently you haven’t tasted real coffee if you haven’t tasted Ianto’s
- The trope “Ianto’s has a secret” fic is so overdone but DAMN they’re all good so keep doing lord’s work writers
- Ianto in fics: I have a mask, I never smile, I’m a shadow.
Ianto in canon: so who wants Chinese :)? *laughs so much at the most random jokes*
- If I see one more post cyberwoman fic I’m gonna riot (also me: oh look! Post cyberwoman fic 🥰)
- Apparently this man always overworks himself and hasn’t eaten in months
- He spends so much time in the archives when in canon they rarely acknowledge his role as an archivist.
-stopwatches. that’s it.
GWEN
- Gwen bashers will invent the most crazy and ooc shit to make you hate her, when canon things she said/done are ENOUGH
- Let’s be honest when writers write her in love just with Rhys things are better (let’s not think about her I love you to Jack in S2)
- Apparently Rhys constantly cooks her amazing lasagne and she’s almost never there to eat them
- When there is Gwen/Ianto friendship I’m: 🥺
- When she actually puts her years in the police into torchwood work>>>
- She’s the mama hen of the group but is she really?
RHYS
- I love this man in fics and canon
-it’s hilarious anytime he doesn’t catch on jack/Ianto relationship
-he really loves Gwen
-he’s a saint really
JOHN
- fanon!John is usually really close to canon. Fic writers just have to decide if he’s the villain of their story or the helper.
- If he’s the villain then the other characters are literally fucked, villain!John is chaos and will shoot your favorite character
- If he’s the helper then he’s just a hornier Owen.
- Also he never calls Ianto by his name, Eye-candy is his go to.
SUZIE
- she’s a murdered, but fic writers love her. (She almost never shows up but when she does she’s probably the most interesting character in the fic)
cw in 2020: struggles to make one (1) character bisexual
bbc in 2006: here you go, all five protagonists are canonically bisexual
Oh my god it’s the Torchwood 5
YouTube is being a jerkball, so here ya go
If anyone has any music video ideas for anything Torchwood related, pls share! I need ideas
Tosh being a literal Cyber-terrorist is so glossed over and I love it
Ianto seems to be the only one who’s actually concerned about her skill set lmao
It's 2019 and I'm still crying about Ianto Jones.
It’s 2018 and I’m still crying about Ianto Jones.
Reasons why I hate each of the main 5 Torchwood members (these are the entire list of reasons unless I specifically say otherwise):
Gwen
- cheating on Rhys then retconning him to forgive her for it
- the speech at the end of the episode Meat
Jack
- making Ianto feel insecure about where he stands in their relationship (yeah ik why but he should have told Ianto that)
- trying to force Ianto at gunpoint to execute what was left of Lisa
- not bothering to check on Ianto after the cannibals
- the way he dealt with Mary then didn't comfort Tosh
Tosh:
- the comment in the episode Meat about feeding the world, disregarding the amount of pain that the creature was in
Owen:
- his sadistic enjoyment of trying to make Gwen and Rhys' relationship fall apart
- the stuff he said to Ianto in the episode Captain Jack Harkness
- the way he completely disregards Tosh and her feelings for him, they were obvious and Owen is smart enough to not be blind
- kicking Ianto when he'd already won the fight in the episode Captain Jack Harkness
- his general treatment of Ianto and Tosh
Ianto:
- literally nothing, everything he did that was morally grey/wrong was at least mostly justified
Can you tell my ranking of characters? I'm not sure if my no.1 is obvious at all, most definitely not clear, such a mystery.
Had to add another one to Jack's category that I forgot
- "Don't"

i like to think that sometime after exit wounds jack and the doctor meet up, and jack tells them all about the torchwood team and shows the doctor pictures of owen and tosh and then the doctor recognises tosh cause of space pig <3
torchwood girlies be like ‘this is my favourite show’ and it’s just 5 bisexuals fighting aliens and being gay
