"The Flat" Torchwood Fic

Title: The Flat

Author: valancy_joy 

Word Count: 5549

Characters: Ianto Jones, Lisa Hallett, Yvonne Hartman, Jack Harkness, and various Torchwood One Employees (and perhaps one Companion, you decide).

Author’s notes: Written for the reel_torchwood  challenge. Based on the 1960 Academy Award winner for Best Picture "The Apartment" written by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond (who gets bonus points for a very original nom de plume). Original trailer here: http://www.alltrailers.net/the-apartment.html if you're interested. I didn't have to do too much to the plot, it actually worked into the Torchwood universe rather better than I expected it to, although it's probably safe to say this is more AU than not.

Beta'd by: the marvelously helpful and dynamic duo of stuffphile  and misswinterhill .

Summary: Baby it's cold outside when you can't get into your own flat...not that things are all that much better when you do!


( this way to the story )

the envelopes are flying...

So here's the thing... my real life friends decided we weren't exchanging gifts this year... which yay for not having to shop and all that ... but where's the fun in that? :D

So... my TW peeps holiday card recipients are getting something extra in their envelopes.

In fact, I just got back from the postoffice where I sent out the foreign lands packages. So cruentum , verasteine , electro_club , curriejean , and phaetonschariot  ... be on the lookout for some lumpy packages that are now on their way to you. You've all got the same things in your envies... so no spoilers!! (Befuddled the post office guy a bit when he saw Brazil spelled Brasil. LOL)

The US contingent will get their packages pretty soon ... depending on whether the snow lets me get back to the post office tomorrow, or if I have to wait until monday...

ENJOY!! I LOOVE YOU GUYS ALOT ALOT.

On the other side of the coin, I got a wonderful card full of cavorting koalas ... and containing some Jack/Doctor's hand fic that I LOVE!! from misswinterhill . I didn't have your addy J ... so I'll stick something in the post in the near future :D Karaoke Koalas FTW!!!

Off to eat lunch and get ready for caramel party tonight!!!
