Summary: A slightly different reunion fic. Forty-nine year old single mother Rose Tyler is working for U.N.I.T. and living on the moon in the alternate universe with her three children when a U.F.O. crash lands there. A very familiar U.F.O.
A/N:This is a post-Doomsday Rose/Ten reunion fic, mostly written pre-season four of Doctor Who, pre-season two of Torchwood, and pre-season two of The Sarah Jane Adventures, so I basically will continue to ignore any canon that exists after that for the sake of finally finishing this fic, 'kay? Thanks. And we will all just pretend the last update to this story was not in December of 2008, y/y?

WARNING: Please be warned that this fic contains discussion of a non-graphic, off screen rape and flashbacks of it. If that sort of thing triggers you it might be best not to read this fic. You have been warned.

The things that end up in my inbox...Jack Harkness really does manage to lose his clothes alot, doesn't he? And the others to a lesser extent. This video really made me laugh, though part of it is the song (we used to sing it to my son when he was going through his phase of not wanting to wear any clothes when he was little). Anywho, warning for male nudity (backsides). Vid is by teikachikata

Does anyone know what color Owen Harper from Torchwood's eyes are?  I've looked up Burn Gorman, but I've gotten both blue and brown from various sites.  Anyone know for sure? 

I'm pretty sure there is going to be Zeppelins tonight.  I'm 2500 words down and writing like a fiend.

General non-spoilery comment on Torchwood:

You know that stupid plot bunny that bit me a few weeks ago?  The one that came totally out of left field and bit me on the ankle and I had to kick it hard to send it away because I so did not want to stumble into another fandom and start writing there?  Especially one that's horribly complicated?  The Jack Harkness/Claire Bennett, Torchwood/Heroes crossover fic that I wasn't going to write?  Yeah, that one.  It's got over 1000 words written on it.  It comes in fits and starts, has been straggling in a paragraph or so at a time now.  And...well...it actually seems to be...good.  I'm almost afraid of what might happen if I chose to focus on it.

It's from Jack's point of view.  So far, anyway.  I know Jack inside and out, know how to write him backwards and forwards.  I have a handle on Claire I think, or how I think she'd be at 156 years old.  Hardened, yet still a bit naive.  Good with a gun.  Calculating, calm, and cool, but with a surprising ability to laugh at herself.  And with a heart, that once you get to it, is fiercely loyal and protective.  Yes, I've been thinking about it far too much for a fic I'm supposedly not going to write. *growls*

I just got bit by a Claire Bennett/Jack Harkness crossover fic plot bunny.  WTF?  I don't write Heroes!  And I don't have time for a new fic now anyway.  But where the heck did it come from?  Because someone needs to redirect that bunny to the appropriate new owner.
