Gwen Free AUs?

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

Could we like, have a tag and/or contest for Gwen-Free AUs?

Cause lots of stuff would have happened differently had Gwen not been at Torchwood, and I can't help but think that they would have all been for the better, considering how little Gwen cares for her actual teammates.

Like, for starters, I like an AU where Tosh woke up in the hospital, surrounded by Team Torchwood, Jack, Ianto, and Andy. Owen is gone forever, there is nothing they could do for him and that's sad, and Tosh is sad, but she'll live.

Or even Owen doesn't died, again. Instead of door-knocking, Andy advocates a "see a weevil, club a weevil" policy, letting the proper personals get to where they need to be at earlier.

Gwen never got in, and they either just DENY her access, or she tried her pizza trick later, during "Cyberwoman".

Retro Quote: "She's a very down-to-earth girl, kind and generous, but extremely ambitious, feisty, intelligent and witty. But she's also very human - she's really the girl next door. Because I'm playing her, I put a lot of me into it and I take a lot of my own characteristics." - Eve Myles, Feb 24 2006 Paul Rowland, Western Mail

ETA: gwen-free verses ideas
1. Eugene Jones's Diary: Without Gwen dismissing him, someone actually took Eugene Jones seriously for ONE moment, and got his eye thing without EJ dying. Eventually, they decide to use Ianto replace Suzie, and take in Eugene to take over the admin stuff. I bet that geek has all his mint comics in order.

Have you gotten a chance to see turnleft_tw? They're redoing Seasons 1-3 episode by episode with minor-to-major 'left turns' (a la DW 04 Turn Left). It's very interesting and I think the comm at large would like it.

Those aren't Gwen free. In fact she's starting to figure more into the stories by working alone trying to figure out what Torchwood is.

Ah, good point (sorry, it was late and a bit of tl;dr). She does, however, get pwned quite a bit.

I was there this morning and they updated with Cyberwoman. Gwen figured prominently in it. She took Annie's place but unfortunately was saved before the brain transplant. The good news she's back in Providence Park, the bad news is they seem to like her over there and she keeps coming back.

OH my God----heaven help us all--thank goodness neither of my next door neighbors are like her--they are lovely ---

I'd certainly like to see stories where Gwen never joined Torchwood. I think I mentioned in a reply to a post somewhere else that I'd love to see all of Torchwood rewritten without Gwen or with Andy in place of Gwen. As I'm not really a writer myself, I'd love it if someone (or multiple someones) would give it a go. I think all the stories would be very different!

instead of gwen joining torchwood i would have liked to have seen andy join and see of more det. swanson in torchwood. i would like to have seen suzie as a member of the team without the crazy psycho murder bit. gwen could be there only intead of joining torchwood she would take over in the smaller that andy serves now. i have few plot bunnies i am willing to give good homes with au plots for gwen. one involves instead of lisa in the basement it would be gwen with suzie hiding her from jack.

If you guys that write, would write that, and still have the others in character, I'd read them, I don't read much bashfics cause no-one seems to be in character in them, I just like to have a place to vent a bit about Gwen once in a while

I've already got one for a Gwen-less 'Random Shoes' that I made up just now. It's pretty short and doesn't really count as a fic, so I'll just put it here.

Random Shoes Sans Gwen

Ianto walked into Jack's office and noticed Jack sigh as he set down the newspaper he was reading.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Nothing...Just that random kid who liked to follow us around was killed in a hit and run the other day."

"Oh," Ianto hesitated, not sure what to say. "Anything suspicious about it that we should look into?"

"No...just sad is all."

"It is. I'm sure the poor kid never saw it coming." Ianto paused, biting his tongue to make sure he only added 'otherwise he would have gotten out of the way,' in his head and not out loud. "Things like this remind you to live life while you can since you never know what's around the corner," Ianto said he walked over to Jack's desk, set down his coffee cup, and pulled out his other signature item from his waistcoat pocket. "Stopwatch time?"

Jack grinned, grateful for the ever so welcome distraction. "Stopwatch time."

THE END.

I like that

...and Adrift without Gwen, without the grunt work Gwen froisted on her, Tosh went out and hooked up with Andy.

Thanks!

And I love it. ^_^

Just look at how much happier everyone already is without her. And that's only 2 episodes.
