Still plotting out the Tom/PC Andy Being Human/Torchwood crossover fic. I've got something like 13k of bits of fic and plotting typed up and more hand written in a notepad.
I'm still trying to figure out a timeline that works, but this is the one that I think that I am going with.
Because Andy's story picks up after Children of Earth so 2009 or 2010 depending on which version of the Torchwood timeline you use. I usually use the one what puts events in the same year as the series aired, but for this I'm going to use the one that places the Torchwood episodes about a year ahead of the air date.
Basically the confusion in the years all seems to come from Rose's timeline in Doctor who, which gives the date for the attack on Torchwood One, which then places everything in Torchwood one year later than than when the show aired.
Tom's part of the story starts in 2012 (At least it's 2012 as far as I can tell. As series 3, 4 and 5 take place over a fairly short time scale - around 15 to 18 months from the Pack in mid series 3 to Pie and Prejudice in series 5, although it could be as little as a year.)
But it still leaves a gap between September 2010 and Summer 2012 for Andy before his and Tom's storylines finally meet.
Honestly this is probably me over thinking in the timelines to a far greater extent than is actually needed as all there really needs to be is an amount of time between when CoE happens and when Andy eventually meets Tom.
( So I'm thinking that Andy's timeline for his backstory goes. )
So that's Andy's backstory. I'm wondering whether to write this as a separate fic and start the main one or just drop in pieces of this information through the course of the main fic.
Any thoughts? I can see it working both ways.
I know this sounds very much like it's not a CoE fix-it story, and the focus of it isn't. However I'm thinking at the moment that it would fit in with the world created in 'Finding Ways to Smile Again.' It's just Jack and Ianto haven't reappeared from their space cruise yet. They will be back though by the time that I get to the end of the Andy/Tom story though.
