A badly-needed crossover

Having now watched the first seven and a half episodes of the second Torchwood season, I have come to the conclusion that there really should be a Torchwood/House crossover.

TeamTorchwood: "So, here's a very ill person whose eyes have turned all gooey and whose toes have exploded. What could that be?"

TeamHouse: "No worries*. It's probably lupus. Put them on steroids and full-range antibiotics."

And then they spend the rest of the episode searching a) for the alien threat that caused it and b) for a cure to actually save the one or other life occasionally. House would fit in into the Torchwood team seamlessly, as he can sulk and throw teenager-y hissy fits with the best of them. And he is very interested in the eternal question of who shags who, too.

And in spin-off terms, while Ashes to Ashes is the very embarrassing and cringe-worthy Mary-Sue fic with a heroine who deems herself oh so pretty and clever and shagworthy in the eyes of the hero, Torchwood is the crackfic that knows no shame.

Please tell me you're going to write that! I have absolutely no clue about Torchwood, but I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to read this crossover! *makes puppy eyes*
