It was hard to understand how blind Mama and Papi were to it. Carmela ate it up, but she was attracted to any new and shiny bauble she saw. But her parents--her infallible, if somewhat unenlightened parents--they should've seen what Kit was dealing with. What they had to save her hermano from...

Title: The Hiatus Continuations
Author: sam_storyteller
Genre: Action, adventure, humour, angst...Gen-ish, well enough, if you prefer to skip the cutscenes
Characters: Ensemble (including Claude, as a main character, and the inevitable Doctor Who jokes)
Length: Long (21 chapters)
Spoilers: Season 1
Summary: A new side of Claude, a new family for Claire, a new job for Jessica, and a New York for Ando.

Epic, this is, and my personal canon whether I'm aware of it or not. Has 'shippy and slashy undertones, but these are easily ignored.

Title: Survival
Author: HonorH
Genre: (crossover with Doctor Who- what else?)
Length: Short
Rating: Strong T (PG-15)
Pairing: Claude/Rose (Doctor/Rose)
Spoilers: mild for season finales of both shows
Summary: We all do what we have to to survive.
Quote:

Run into her he did, quite literally. In the street, your typical meet-cute. He gave her an annoyed look; her jaw dropped, eyes growing wide. It was like she recognized him, and it was enough to spook him into making a mistake. As soon as he’d gotten around her, he went invisible. She’d shaken off her immobility more quickly than he’d been prepared for, though, and when she whirled around, her hand just grazed him.

That mightn’t have been such a problem except for the fact that Rose worked for Torchwood. A day later, he entered his flat to find her already there.

Quote:

“I believe that’s your way of saying, ‘I could’ve done a much better job even though I’m not a bloody invisible man.’”

“I never said that.”

Bennet chuckles.

“Screw Nathan,” came a voice from behind Peter. Hiro saw him twist around, and suddenly, he vanished, like a ghost.

Summary:
Peter mourns the loss of someone important to him, but finds hope in someone he didn't think he would.
Quote: All is still and silent behind door number 10. For once, the sounds of the traffic haven’t found their way inside. No voices are carried down the hall. The television’s static. It’s lonely…but it’s the only place he’s got…he’s got no one to turn to.

And somehow subtly stockier than normal, built somehow differently. And had appeared out of nowhere. And weren't speaking English, but somehow she understood them anyway.

Dripping. With a water beetle clinging to Its hair.
