Welcome to Our Readers Are Our Reccers week here at Epic Recs! I'm hugely excited about the response that we got and am really looking forward to sharing the love from our readers. Want recs in fandoms we've never had at the comm before? Got 'em! Want recs in old fandom favorites? Got those, too! And there are a couple of epics in the list that would take *me* a week to read. So settle in, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and enjoy!

Review:
The best Torchwood fic ever written. After the Doctor abandons him on the game station, Jack spends decades waiting for him to come back. The Master finds him instead. The result is an insanely kickass AU that diverges from canon, then loops back around and merges with it again, but with several important differences.

Seriously, this thing is almost as long as War and Peace, if War and Peace consisted entirely of Jack Harkness getting whumped, the Master being deliciously insane & evil, and Ianto, Martha, and co. being awesome.

Pay attention to the warnings, though. The Master is a twisted, evil person, and he does bad, bad things to Jack. I swear it has a happy ending, though.
