clo_againSo, earlier today I was idly skimming my flist when I hit on a rec from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rionaleonhart. Even though it was in-progress, it had the summary A massively multifandom accidental epic following Sam Tyler (Life On Mars) and Jack Harkness (Doctor Who and Torchwood)on their misadventures, as they explore the galaxy, almost destroy some worlds, and barely save others which sounds pretty awesome if it could be made to work so, expecting something funny and lighthearted and not just a little cracky, I thought I'd check it out.
About four and a half hours later I looked up to realise the afternoon was over, at some point I'd relocated to my room to stop my mother talking to me while I was trying to read, my hand was over my mouth to stop myself making gleeful sounds out loud and I hadn't even read all of it. It is- awesome. Beyond words. The concept that sounds vaguely ridiculous? Isn't. Everyone's so in character, they go through crap, they fight, they crack jokes, they break time, get extremely drunk in bars much more authentically alien than 'Who or Torchwood manages to show and somehow Jack and Sam makes a really, really excellent team (regardless of how many timelines/planets/univeres they manage to break because that's by accident. Mostly). It hits so many fandoms, some of which I haven't even come across yet because I'm still reading; the FFVIII parts made me especially gleeful though. So:
Damaged People bydraegonhawke. That's a link to the index of parts arranged into various characters' timelines (I started with Sam's because it's at the top but I suspect the sort-of-order here might be better). It's got its own community where the parts are posted at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
damageverse. I'm so excited by that long list of parts to-be-written because that hopefully means we'll be getting new bits and pieces and fics in the 'verse for a long while yet. It's one thing I'd say read, even if you don't like WiPs because it's so fun to read and each part/interlude works pretty well in itself.
Seriously, this is worth the time of your life to read and review, because it isn't getting nearly the love it deserves. Go. Fangirl the wonderful. Pass it on.
