Torchwood

From Protectors of the Plot Continuum

Torchwood is a spin off of Doctor Who and is in the Doctor Who continuum.

The series revolves around the Torchwood Institute, which was shown to be founded by Queen Victoria in the Nu-Who episode "Tooth and Claw" to protect Britain from extraterrestrials and acquire alien technology. It is considered to be separate from the government, outside the police, and beyond the United Nations.

It focuses on the Cardiff team, taxed with protecting the Rift runing through the city, led by Captain Jack Harkness, an omnisexual from the 51st century who can't die. Current members include Gwen Cooper, police liaison (led the team when Jack was traveling with the Doctor); Dr. Owen Harper, medic and snark; Martha Jones, medic without the snark; Dr. Toshiko Sato, technology expert; and Ianto Jones, general supporter and maker of perfect coffee. Jack and Ianto are the most common lust objects. Due to the overly-sexual nature of Torchwood (mainly due to Jack), random slash, previously-undocumented bisexuality, and even MPreg are canon and can therefore not lead to charging without prejudice in fics in this fandom.
