Introducing Gwen Bash: 3 Bash 3 Gwen (In 3D)

(But We Mean Gwen Party Not The Other Thing)

Gwen Cooper Day, when the Torchwood fandom celebrates Gwen Cooper, Role Model for our Daughters, is held annually on March 16th! In honor of this joyous event, we have curated fic recs that are Gwen Focused and Gwen Postive Stories!

This is last year’s round up! And the original list! Like every year, we have stories that are Gwen focused, showcase Gwen being a BAMF, and/or just generally showcase and celebrate Gwen’s character! Also while you’re here, check out our rarepair fest which wraps next month.

Gwen did not fear ghosts. Except for the exact ghosts she wanted to see above all else.

My Peace Has Always Depended on the Ashes in My Wake by Paycheckgurl (Gwen&Ianto, JackIanto, GwenRhys, Gwen&Team | complete | 6281 | T)

There was a woman in a long coat on the hilltop. The coat was leather and a dark colour. She had dark hair and a solemn expression. Large eyes both sad and hardened trailed forward. She held a detonator, as fire broke out in front of her.

“This is for you. All of you,” she said to herself.

There was a young man watching her. Dressed in a suit. Hidden behind the brush, he emerged. His pristine suit now disheveled.

“What are you doing, Gwen?” he asked.

“Ianto,” she whispered. “You need to go.”

He stood unmoving as the fire raged out in the distance

Dodo Verse by MonsterMince (GwenJohn, GwenRhys, GwenJohnRhys, JohnRhys, JackIanto, IantoJohn, OwenJohn, OwenTosh, Ianto&Rhys | series, WIP | 39,138 | E, M)

Five years after the events of COE, Gwen still misses her team and what she had. It's not much of a life without them, and when Rhys takes Anwen away until Gwen's willing to move on, of course John Hart turns up with an offer that's too tempting to refuse: A way to raise Ianto from the dead.

Brilliant and Beautiful by MonsterMince (GwenSuzie, JackIanto, IantoTosh, JackIantoTosh, OwenKatie | WIP | 29534 | T)

The late 19th century is when everything changes. And Suzie's team of well-meaning, dogged, caring, highly-skilled and idiotic romantics is ready.

For someawkwardprose's prompt: Victorian Torchwood but Suzie and Gwen are the Torchwood lesbians, Ianto as Gwen's little brother and the archivist, Tosh as techie, and Owen as doctor. Then they find Jack

Before Rhys proposes, Gwen's determined to tell him the truth about Owen, if not about Torchwood, so they're on the same page. But it doesn't go as planned, and she finds herself in the Hub.

Luckily, Ianto is still there, recovering after a mission with Tosh, heartsick and lonely. Together, the two of them are able to find a little peace and comfort, and to start to heal. But when Jack returns, they're forced to reckon with what they are now to one another, and what they want the future to hold.

Then, finally, he could feel it. He could feel her, the missing piece that he had been feeling his entire life as Ianto Jones, his TARDIS back in his mind, as it should be. He reached out, almost pathetically, and his Gwen reached back, clasping their minds together, and she pulled him out of the memories.

Though the universe tries, not much can separate a TARDIS from her Time Lord

But that’s all they were. Dreams. Dreams couldn’t hurt her. Not physically. Couldn’t take away what she had. A loving husband. Brothers in arms who she was always proud to fight alongside defending the world. The most brilliant baby girl in all of South Wales. Dreams, nightmares, were just that. And they’d go away as soon as she awoke.

Between Ticking Hands by Paycheckgurl (JackIanto, GwenRhys, Gwen&Ianto, IantoOthers | complete | 3380 | T)

Gwen and Ianto were taken by the rift, and eventually returned home years later. But not before leaving an impression on the people they left behind.

[dinodina]

Gwen has a conversation with a little girl one might call, at a stretch, precocious.

In which I make Gwen think about motherhood and also drink some coffee. Happy New Year, @violetmessages!

#torchwood #fic #i also make gwen eat a pastry so it's not like I'm just mean for no reason

[dinodina]

It's just a simple tech retrieval, so why is Ianto having all these strange, unsettling dreams?

In which, to entertain @princess-of-the-worlds, I stick Jack and Ianto into the countryside. Happy New Year!!
