[info]fide-et-spe rec'ed this Torchwood story and it is just amazing. Torchwood, pre-characters dying right and left, goes back in time and meets Chaucer in the 14th century and are part of the Canterbury Tales pilgrimage. Yes, it sounds odd but it is absolutely amazing. Deep and metaphysical and emotionally wrenching with lots of wonderful English literature alllusions.

If you've ever watched a single episode of Torchwood, you must read this fic: http://used-songs.livejournal.com/375740.html

I now must go look up John Gower, after reading the references to his definition of love as "bright darkness and bitter honey" because I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of him (to be fair, my specializations were Romantic and Victorian literature, but still.) This fic is lovely and should be published as part of a Torchwood novel, seriously.
