Torchwood meta (repost): Because I could not stop for death...

Totally forgot to post a link to this a while back because I became so involved in cleaning up my Gossip Girl piece, which I’m making live in a few hours. I wrote this back in 2011, but I rewrote some bits to clarify my thoughts on “They Keep Killing Suzie,” and added some things (like a not-so-dry title). It was originally written for the dead angst_bingo.

Here is a meta that was originally written for kink_bingo. It’s not a particularly kinky essay, so I don’t regret taking the essay out of that comm. I did add thoughts I didn’t initially add to this essay, as well as photo captions.
