Summary: What echoes might Tosh’s sonic modulator have produced?

Reccer's Notes: This crossover, written for [livejournal.com profile] consci_fan_mo, has to be one of the best Toshiko fics I've ever read. I was afraid, at first, that this story was going to end up revealing that Topher or the man "in a leather jacket" was going to be the one who actually invented the sonic modulator, not Tosh, and I was so glad and relieved when the author didn't go there. I admire that it was Tosh's work all along and that her brilliance reverberates across time, even long after she's gone.

I also like the friendship between Gwen and Tosh displayed in this story, since female friendship fics are so neglected across fandom.

This story is worth reading, though, just for Artie and Claudia's conversation about the Trojan horse in Warehouse 13. (Yes, this being Warehouse 13, "Trojan horse" is not just an expression.)

For what it's worth, I believe you do have to be familiar with Torchwood in order for this story to make sense but you don't have to know the other fandoms. Not that I'm the best judge of this, since I watch too much television have seen all these series.

Summary: Lizzie Siddal was not the whole story. Some of the other chapters were life-threatening.

Reccer's Notes: This is such a unique concept for a fic: Women from various fandoms inspire the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. With all the characters moving back and forth through history in these series, all these situations are plausible. I laughed at Abby and Sarah's conversation, and I made a squeaking sound when I realized who Rossetti's Urania (muse of astronomy) was. The most memorable section is Morgana's: there's a hypnotic, lyric poetry to it, and it's just the kind of scene Rossetti would have painted.
