Author Summary: 1969, Torchwood House, Scotland. When Jack is sent to investigate a series of thefts, he finds that the history of the House is not as past as he'd thought.

Review: Moonrise is a plotty pre-series Torchwood fic, and it's as supernatural as the Whoniverse ever gets. It technically belongs in the author's Sic Transit Tempus series (which consists mostly of shorter fics and they don't have to be read to enjoy this story) that explore the change from 'Happy-go-flirty conman in Doctor Who to the brooding man-of-mystery in Torchwood' to quote the author. And that is exactly why this fic is so enjoyable: character growth that feels real.

Also it's a good Mystery story, and though for people who are avid Doctor Who watchers it's relatively easy to figure out where the story is going, it takes nothing away from the entertainment.


Moonrise in four large, linked parts on the TARDIS Big Bang Site.


The masterlist for the entire Sic Transit Tempus series can be found here, but it isn't a part of this rec because a) the theme is Supernatural/Horror this week and b) I haven't read all of them.
