Being Human - series 5 finale.
I thought that I had posted about the Being Human series 5 finale back when it was on, but apparently I didn't.
The end sat oddly with me at the time. They'd got what they wanted - they got their humanity - yet it was all too pat, it didn't feel like the tone of the rest of the series. The final shot of the bits and pieces on the mantel over the fireplace, the paper wolf from when Hatch tried to persuade Tom was there.
It made me wonder at the time if they were still in a dreamworld. Hal had told Hatch that the dreams they were offered didn't take because they were all apart, only together would it work.
I thought that perhaps Hal had done a deal with Hatch so that they had their shared dreamworld together.
Now I find that there is a missing/extra scene on the DVD. Hal didn't do a deal, but Hatch had put them all into a dreamworld together.
It's a shame that Being Human has come to an end and we'll never find out whether they got out of the dreamworld and stopped Hatch.
Also yet another plot bunny. A Torchwood/Being Human crossover fic. AU from part way through series 5 of Being Human(Tom doesn't go back to the house with Alex following the whole thing with Larry) and post Children of Earth for Torchwood.
Following the events of Children of Earth, Andy who is disillusioned by everything that has happened, leaves the police and ends up working in mid Wales on small holding that had belonged to a relative who'd been wanting to retire. Not really looking at farming as a livelihood Andy sets about turning the smallholding into a campsite.
Tom who's just drifting ends up there at some point and helps Andy with some of the repairs.
The something odd starts happening and Andy and Tom start looking into it.
Not sure exactly where I'd take it from there, apart from that it would end up being Tom/Andy and that there would be some vampires who'd set up a dogfight (For anyone not familiar with Being Human the vampires catch a couple of Werewolves, put them in a big cage and bet on which one will survive the fight.)
I'm thinking that Tom gets caught, wins his fight, but is hurt. Andy helps rescue him, but realises that he needs help as well if he's going to put a stop to it happening again.
Andy calls Gwen. Gwen arrives with Jack and Ianto with her. Andy just goes 'you know what, after all the aliens, werewolves and vampires, people coming back from the dead just doesn't seem all that shocking any more'
I don't think Andy and Tom would join Torchwood though. I think they'd stay and run their campsite, but if they were needed they would always come to help.
