where there's smoke there's--

I said months ago I was going to edit and repost this fic on my journal, thinking I’d be able to post it to DW and LJ, but ha ha ha ha that didn’t happen. With LJ’s crossposting issues, LJ being in Russia at this current time, and the fact this fic was posted at a time DW’s HTML was different, I’m just going to link to this fic for posterity and take down the original DW and LJ links. Fic is also available on Teaspoon.

Fic originally written in 2011 for the dead reel_torchwood challenge, a challenge for Torchwood movie fusions and crossovers.

Content notes: violence (character death)
I should tell you Rex is bleeding because a pole passed through his body in the first moments of the miniseries--he's okay because of the Miracle Day curse.

The title of this video comes from the translation of the second song from Hungarian--somewhere around the ballpark of "Stupid Bird" in English.

Video is posted on Vimeo (for AO3). Summary of the video's contents below.  Mediafire download available.

GWEN He was just about to tell us!

REX Thanks? Anybody? Thanks?

GWEN And you shot him in the throat.

REX Hey, well, dead is dead.

Additional notes (originally presented as a footnote before this post was edited 6 February 2015): If you're new to this particular installment of Torchwood, at the start of this miniseries humans are unable to die. Had Gwen died in this clip (not like she would, since she's Russell T Davies's viewpoint character of the show), she would've bled until her body had no blood in it and/or lost the ability to think. It's because of this mysterious curse (and, apparently, someone knows who Torchwood is, but wanking about how people know Torchwood when they're supposed to be a secret agency is another matter) the last 40% of Torchwood Three reunited to find out what is causing, according to this show's news junkets, "Miracle Day." Meanwhile Jack, who was made immortal by the Bad Wolf during his first stint on Davies's Doctor Who, has lost his ability to stay immortal. If Jack gets killed before Miracle Day is solved, he's a goner.

Summary: Was the memory of Tosh being imprisoned in "Fragments" a truth, or was it a fabrication? In 2009, after Torchwood Three's headquarters was blown up, a draft of a report written by Tosh stated she was kidnapped by a "Milton" and imprisoned in a Welsh village for over a year. The story of how she escaped this village and eventually joined Torchwood is as astonishing as Tosh's short life and career with Torchwood.
Author's Note: Although this story is AU, certain canonical facts of Toshiko's life before Torchwood differ between Torchwood episodes. (Show bible? What show bible?) For this story, the time Tosh is imprisoned and when she joined Torchwood is based on "Fragments" as opposed to the year given in Mary's account on Tosh's life in "Greeks Bearing Gifts" as well as the date the TARDIS Index File gives on Tosh's imprisonment (2004).
