All Will Be Right, Torchwood fanfiction


I think I'm biased towards Toshiko simply because I'm also Asian. There was just so much emotion in this scene even when she wasn't talking, and I hope my fic has done it — and her — justice.

Title: All Will Be Right
Type: One-shot (droubble)
Words: 200
Character(s): Toshiko, team Torchwood 3
Warnings: Character death. Huge spoiler for Series 2 episode 13. Don't like, don't read.
Rating: Gen
Disclaimer: BBC and Russell T Davies own Torchwood. I don't.
Summary: Toshiko knows. And she is rarely wrong.
Beta: -


All Will Be Right



She felt cold, but he was warm — burning, shaking.

She could smell the sharp tang of antiseptic and medicine, and Owen's clean scent from their lime extract handwash. It was heady and impersonal and familiar and comforting; more home than home. She managed to ignore the taste of iron at the back of her throat.

There was white, fluorescent-blue, and the man who always called her name the proper way — the man she had enslaved her time to. Her leader. Friend.

She barely felt a trembling hand on her knee while the distant sound of badly controlled breathing reached her ears.

She could not save him but the two of them had averted yet another catastrophe and kept people safe. Kept her family safe.

It was all right, really. She hoped he could see it in her eyes because she had no strength left to speak. Tomorrow the sun would rise, it would be just another day in good old Cardiff, and the world would be none the wiser.

She forced a smile, trying to reassure her captain, who was doing the same for her even as she began to lose focus of his face.

All will be right, really.

gulp.

ok. that was good. About as hard a gut-punch as the scene itself was to watch!

very good, in a "sob" sort of way!

Thanks! I watched the scene a second time a few days ago and it got me in the guts even heavier than the first time. It was really heartbreaking =(

Still, glad you liked this fic =)

Thanks!
I didn't want it to be *too* sad, but it proved to be impossible.

I had a inner-sobbing session when I watched that scene all over again from Owen's (second) death scene =(
Thanks for reading though!

*wibbles* That scene is always the most heart-wrenching moment for me to watch.

Good job.

*cries*

It's beautifully in character and as strong and affecting as the original scene.

Thanks!
I had this compulsion to write a fanfic of her parting. Most probably because I'm Asian too and that geeks rule! Teehee. Glad I did it right =)

I wanted to make it less sad than the actual scene, but well. Seems like we can never get over it =(

Thanks! I didn't want it to be too sad but it seems that it's impossible for this scene.
