A badly-needed crossover

[donnaimmaculata]

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.

Considering my track record (i.e.: only one completed fic in the course of one year!), I can't promise you anything. But I am going to watch the rest of Torchwood tonight/tomorrow, so let's see how I feel then. (Unfortunately, my House is lost after disc crash, so I lack inspiration in that department.)

Chase and Ianto could bond over being a bit wimpy yet shaggable and Gwen and Cameron would try to outdo each other with fits of moral outrage.
