I awake again. This time there was fire engine outside and then I bit my tongue. Sleep, it is so complicated.

I am having recurring plot bunny. It's for a Jack/Ianto fic I have had the basic idea for since the middle of season 1. I'm not a quick writer though, things tend to just stew til I'm ready. Only now I'm starting to get an idea of what happens to characters other than Jack and Ianto, and who they are, and why that's important. And I invented an alien that fits the theme of the story and provides amusing and thrilling opening sequence. (Think hermit crab meets urban junk.) (There's probably shopping trolley involved.) And then... well, then I started thinking about characters who married a guy called Jones and why, actually, they'd make perfect parents on account of not fitting at all except for in important places. And it was a crack!fic funny idea last time I thought of it, but today it fits the serious story. And makes the mislead both more obvious and more likely to work. And... this plot, it would actually work. Properly. With, technically, no OCs.

So far I only know how Tosh reacts... no, tell a lie, I've got some idea from Owen now, he's mouthy whenever I think of him. And then Gwen chimes in... though there'll be more from that quarter in a couple of weeks. And we've got a lot from Jack... oh, we've got extra a lot, because I decided ages back Ianto has a very younger brother he took care of. So that's the whole team then. And I know how they contribute to the actual plot-plot too. And... yeah, this one fits together.

Also, does the 'meet the parents' thing that a lot of writers did some time between seasons, only things go all Torchwood.

Also also, fits the bad sex challenge, but in a polt and character developing way.

I should probably just actually write the thing.
Except for that thing where everything keeps changing every week on account of new canon.
But it's new and useful canon, for my fic requires an established relationship with some prospects, and canon is being helpful in that direction lately.
Hmmm.

Also? Helpfully? Owen is not the main character. I've got kind of fed up of how he took over my brain for a while there. He's interesting, but he's not all that. Right? Right.
... Those bunnies will be back with reinforcements too. I can just tell.
