I wrote a happy, probably a bit cracky, superwholock christmas fic. It’s a Christmas party at Torchwood Three:

Christmas at Cardiff

“Hurry up Sherlock, or we’ll be late!” John pulled on his coat and picked up the case of wine they were bringing.

“A Christmas party. Dull.” Sherlock grumbled as he finally appeared and pulled on his coat and scarf.

“I don’t think dull is in Jack Harkness’s vocabulary. Come on, lets see if the Doctor forgot he was our ride.”

John hurried down the stairs like a kid on Christmas morning. Sure enough the blue box was waiting across the street, Doctor leaning on the door. “Someone order a lift to Cardiff?” He grinned.

Sherlock rolled his eyes while John smiled back. There was a moment of disorientation as they stepped inside, but the doctor was already flipping switching and sending the great machine groaning. Moments later the noise stopped. “Here we are,” called the Doctor, picking up a box of bananas. “Always bring a banana to a party.”

“Are we at least in the correct century this time?” Asked Sherlock. John elbowed him in the ribs.

“Right night, right party,” the Doctor led the way into the Plass, locking the door behind him as he made his way to the invisible lift.

John had only been here once before, on a case they were doing as a favor for Mycroft. Music blared as they dropped into the hub. Something fun and jazzy. Everyone else was here, by the looks of it. Tosh and Sam huddled around a computer, laughing at something. Gwen and Owen looked to be trying to teach Castiel beer pong. Ianto was hovering around the drinks and Dean and Jack seemed to be arguing by the stereo.

“Don’t you have any music made after 1975?” Grumbled Dean loudly.

Jack opened his mouth, but spotted the lift and grinned. “Would figure a Timelord would be late.”

“Had to swing by London you know.” The Doctor put the box on the table. Ianto took the wine from John and added it to the stash. Smiling, John grabbed his hand and pulled him from behind the table. “Jack, you going to make Ianto serve drinks all night?”

“I’ve got this,” called the Doctor, slipping behind the table and cracking open more bottles. Sherlock rescued a glass before something more could be added to it.

Jack came up behind Ianto and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Come on. There’s mistletoe over here.”

Ianto rolled his eyes but let himself be pulled away. John walked over to the beer pong. “Good we need a fourth,” grinned Gwen.

“You do realize I will not be affected by the consumption,” said Castiel, picking up a ball and missing.

“Oh just have fun.”

Dean must have found a way to change the music because it suddenly changed to something rock. “Hey!” Growled Jack.

“Suck it up old man.”

“Hey, watch who you’re calling old,” John moved closer to Jack. Dean looked between them, huffed and went to join Castiel at the beer pong.

Jack pulled John into a hug. Suddenly Sherlock pulled him away, glaring at Jack. “Here,” smiled the Doctor, putting drinks in their hands.

The party proceeded apace. Tosh and Sam got dragged from the computer. The Doctor seemed determined to get everyone roaring drunk. Sherlock started deducting everyone’s unhappy childhoods until John clamped a hand over his mouth and physically dragged him away.

Jack vanished into his office and emerged with a box. “Twister!” There was a groan from nearly everyone. “What?”

Soon though John was giggling as Sherlock tried to place a hand on the far side of Sam with Jack’s head perilously close to his crotch. “This is completely undignified.”

“Now you sound like Mycroft.” Jack took advantage and nudged his thigh.

“Cheating sir,” said Ianto.

Owen draped an arm around John’s shoulder. “What a sodding mess.”

“Best Christmas party I’ve been to in years,” grinned John.

Dean sat on John’s other side, sipping his own drink. “It’s something anyway.”

There was a loud muffled protest as Sam landed half on top of Sherlock. John giggled more as he tried to extricate himself while Sam laughed. Dean grinned at the sound of his brother’s laughter.

Jack got up and pulled Ianto into a sloppy kiss. Sam helped Sherlock up. John grinned at him. “Do I need to check for injuries?”

“Hey you two go play doctor somewhere else,” called Jack

The Doctor came over. “Should probably take you home anyway.”

Castiel sipped his drink and looked at Sam and Dean. Dean chugged the rest of his drink. “All right.”

Jack pouted. “Oh okay then. We’ll be in touch.”

The Doctor dropped John and Sherlock off in front of Baker Street. John stumbled up the stairs and flopped onto the couch. Sherlock chuckled and tossed a blanket over him. “Goodnight.”

“Night. Merry Christmas.”

This weeks theme for fanwork friday is jack and castiel, so I wrote a ficlet. Spoilers for Children of Earth, as this is set right at the end of it:

Lou brought three more drinks over to the table in the corner. The man in the military coat barely looked up as he set them down. He hadn’t moved from the darkened corner for a few days. Lou had brought him some snacks and water he’d hardly touched. It was easy for him to see the heavy grief that weighed the man down, but he knew better than to ask. Besides, Jack Harkness was an old family friend; he could stay as long as he wanted to.

“Dad?” his son called him over and he took a moment to look at him. Despite all the fear of a few weeks ago, his son was fine and that was the important thing. As he walked away from the table he didn’t notice Jack watching the boy while Lou put a hand on his shoulder and guided him into the back.

One in the bar did notice. Nobody had seen him come in or paid him any attention as he walked over and slid across from the fixture in the dark corner. Jack’s eyes narrowed. “What do you want, Castiel? I’m not exactly on good terms with your boss right now.”

Castiel watched him as he picked up one of the drinks. “Is this your plan for the foreseeable future?”

Jack gave a short, bitter laugh. “You got any better ideas?”

“I do actually. There is a war coming, we need allies.”

Jack’s eyes went dark. He leaned forward. “No.”

“There are demons walking free, and a greater power rising.”

For a moment Jack looked about to throw the bottle at him. “Haven’t I done enough?” he asked brokenly, then turned away, but not before the raw heartbreak showed on his face. “No. I’m not a hero. I stayed too long here.” His hand moved to his wrist, but he no longer had the manipulator, lost in the explosion that had destroyed Torchwood, his home, and himself.

Castiel watched as he drew the coat a little closer around himself, gathering his armor. “I know you have suffered great losses.”

“You couldn’t begin to understand,” said Jack quietly.  He picked up the closest bottle and chugged the rest of it, aware of Castiel’s eyes on him.

“Gwen Cooper has your device,” said Castiel.

Jack put down the bottle hard enough to rattle the table. He took a breath. “Good, then I can get off this rock.” He pushed himself vertical, slightly unsteady.

Castiel put a hand on his arm, but Jack batted him away. “No. You’re not taking this pain, you’re not making me sober. I don’t want to owe you a damn thing.” He dropped money on the table and made his way out. The night sky spread above him with a thousand twinkling promises. He pulled out his phone and started texting directions to Gwen.

“Someday, Jack, you will forgive yourself,” said Castiel.

“Yeah, well, guy like me, I have all the time in the universe.” He started walking down the dark country road. He felt the rush of angel wings and knew Castiel had gone. He squeezed his eyes shit and rubbed his temple. Definitely time to put this world behind him.

“What do you mean an Angel of the Lord?”

Castiel sighed as the man in the long coat (Jack?) crowded in next to him. “I mean precisely that, Doctor.” 

The man squinted at him as Jack beamed proudly, his dark haired companion gaping openly. “Well that’s new, heard of the Weeping Angels yes, but Angels of the Lord not really- OH!” and in what felt like the blink of an eye the man was suddenly nose to nose with him. 

It occurred to Castiel that perhaps this is how Dean felt. 

“Oh you’ve been dragged in by the Rift. Must have been activated by something about you. Now tell me, what-“ was it even possible for him to get that closer? “-happened when you got pulled in?”

"I was…’shooting the breeze’” and he airquoted, ignoring Jack’s dreamy sigh “with friends. We were then accosted by demons and then I was dragged through what looked like a portal.”

“Were you near the Empire State Building?”

“Er…”

“Tricky place, that one, plenty of Rift potential since the Daleks were there. Made things more wibbly-wobbly eh?” The Doctor grinned widely for a second before he sobered “I’m afraid I don’t have much good news for you since that universe isn’t open to me.”

“I thought your box could go anywhere.”

“OI! SHE’S NOT A BOX!”

“What’ll he do then?” The woman asked. “Are you just going to leave him?”

“No.” Once again, Cas found Jack’s hand on his shoulder. “He’ll stay with me and mine. We could use an angel given with what we do. That’s if you want, Cas." 

Cas. Green eyes, a cocky grin, the smell of leather and guns. Who knew when he’d be able to go back to the Winchesters to help stop the apocalypse. God was missing after all, and in this godless universe who was left? 

He closed his eyes and breathed. 

What do I do?

 "Well Castiel, Angel of the Lord?” Cas focused again on the Doctor who looked at him with an easy smile but cool eyes. He could see the soldier there, but according to Dean those weren’t things you talked about. “What do you want to do?”

Was it really so easy?

“I want to go home. But…” he turned to Jack. “You spoke of your team… you try to and help people.”

Jack nodded. “Dedicated to fighting on behalf of the human race.”

Cas felt his mouth twitch into a smile. “Then I think I know what to do in the mean time.”

—-

“The hell did you say you were?”

“I am Castiel, an Angel of the Lord.”

“Shut up, there’s no such thing,” Owen scoffed from his seat on the couch.

“We are Torchwood after all, we should be used to this by now,” Tosh pointed out reasonably.

“Question is… will he need a mug?” Ianto muttered as the team continued to stare at their new visitor.

Castiel squinted. “I… I dont understand, what would I need ceramicware for?”

“If you’re staying!” A human would have been knocked over by the force with which Jack clapped his hand on Cas’s shoulder, but the angel remained entirely unruffled except for the glance over his shoulder. “You’re staying right?”

“You do appear to be an authority in this universe as to how I got here. I suppose I will need your help in getting back,” the angel admitted grudgingly.

Jack’s smile widened. “Well welcome! As you know, my name is Captain Jack Harkness…” and the team collectively groaned. 

—-

“Who’s prettier, Cas or Jack?” Gwen wondered aloud.

“Can we not talk about how pretty they are, it’s rather damaging for the rest of us,” Owen groaned.

“Well look at how similar the two look! Gwen what d’you think?” the woman asked, grinning wickedly.

Tosh gaped. “Really? Are you really going to go there?”

“Well fine! Ianto!”

“Nope, staying out of this one, nope.”

"Oh come on, everyone knows about your secret shame!”

“Long coats are attractive okay?!”

"Hello boys and girls!” and all activity came to a dead halt as Jack breezed in, Cas not far behind. “What’s this about attractive? Talking about me again?”

“How was it?” Gwen asked.

“Man’s a natural!”

“Not a man.”

“Dispatched those Weevils like they were cotton dolls!” Jack sank into a chair and threw his feet up. “Even mind whammied the family, didn’t need to slip them Retcon.”

“So I guess we’re done for the day then? I’m gonna go pretend to live a life.” Owen asked as he picked up his stuff.

Jack mock pouted”Awww, not sticking around for Cas’s welcome party with Twister then Harper? Gwen? Tosh? Anyone?” The team headed out of the room laughing, but Cas tilted his head at Jack.

“What is Twister?”

Jack looked up, and in the short time Cas had been on the team, he’d started to learn to mistrust that look. 

“Oh Castiel…” and once again Cas found himself learning exactly what Dean always complained about as Jack stood up to walk over and lean right into his personal space. “the things I can teach you…”

The Night that Jack Taught Cas Twister would become Torchwood legend that could bring even the Doctor to his knees laughing (though people that that was more due to Jack running for cover as Cas got a little smitey around the eyes). And long after Cas returned back to the Winchesters, he would remember his first day in the Torchwood hub fondly. 

(even if he could barely walk by a game store without blushing madly for months on end)

SNARK MY LOVE You wrote a beautiful thing and I missed it I’m so sorry!! Yay Torchwood Cas!! and OWENNN

First Chapter of Heartbeats is Finished

spainkitty-mishassweetestkittles:

I was going to make it a long oneshot, but I really need to go to bed and a twoshot isn’t so bad, right?

Besides, I kinda like where I ended it. I do have a real ending in mind (and yes,a sonic screwdriver will make an appearance, he’s just very Hunter-y in this episode so far).
