veldeiaOh, God.
I just finished watching the second season of Torchwood. A friend of mine had been going on about this series for a while, and lent me the DVD box sets. I totally fell in love - a show that has lovable characters (Jack! <3 <3 Ianto! <3 <3 Owen! <3 <3), plenty of hurt/comfort, never forgetting the comfort part, and slash that's actually there, not just in the eye of the beholder! But dear goodness, the last episode totally broke my heart. Left a really bitter taste in my mouth.
I Hate Character Deaths, period. I guess I'm really too soft and can't understand good drama and whatever, but if I could choose, I'd never have any, not unless it's some dramatic art movie about a guy dying of cancer or something. God, how I hate character deaths. What's the point of making us fall in love with characters and then killing them off for good? I just... Agh, I haven't cried like this since I watched Stargate SG-1's Meridian. Truth be told, Tosh's death I could've dealt with, maybe, even though it felt stupid and unnecessary to me, but Owen - Owen who already died once - why did they have to kill him, too? *sobs uncontrollably*
This is why I don't do deathfic. Life sucks enough as it is, I don't want that in my fic.
Now, I'm feeling sort-of torn. I've got a tiny idea that could develop into a Torchwood fic, if I tried (set before the end of S2, obviously). The thing is, as silly as it may sound, I hate writing fic when I know what's coming for the characters, it's depressing, somehow. Bleh.
I guess I should start looking into the Torchwood fic already out there first. If anyone knows any good stuff, feel free to point it out to me. Preferably h/c, pretty much all pairings go, though I'm not that big on Jack/Gwen.
