I posted my first story for

au_bingo .

Admittedly, I wrote this fic about two years ago when I was involved with the Torchwood fandom. But I never felt comfortable posting it.

There was (perhaps still is?) a schism in the TW fandom wherein people either wrote Janto mpreg kidfic soap operas or denounced Janto mpreg kidfic soap operas, with rousing arguments on the nature of Quality, clique-ishness, flounces and counter-flounces, accusations of elitism, and fandom warfare of an intense nature. Since I'd written a (gasp) kid-fic I was quite frightened of how it would be received. I thought of killing the kid's parents to punch up the angst, but that ended up being too much effort and I tucked the fic away in the back of my hard drive and forgot about it.

Then came Season 3, Children of Earth, which (a) made my fic spectacularly AU rather than saccharine wish-fulfillment with a pint-size Mary Sue and (b) conveniently knocked up Gwen Cooper.

To summarize, I feel much more comfortable posting this fic now, and

au_bingo provided me a great excuse. The title sux, though. If anyone can suggest a better one, I'll be much obliged.

Here goes nothing...
