Torchwood

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

Torchwood minis are mini-Reapers, the same type as the main series. However, the mini-Reapers produced by Torchwood fics are unable to fly in a straight line.

In Canon
The series revolves around the Torchwood Institute, which was shown to be founded by Queen Victoria in the New 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 running 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.

Retcon is a drug from this canon, used to make people forget recent unusual events.

In Fanfiction
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. Woobification of canons, however, &mdash; usually Ianto &mdash; is both common and unacceptable.

Missions in this Continuum
All reports are listed alphabetically by agent name, in the case of agents with multiple missions, or by mission name.

Agents Specialised in this Continuum
Agents are considered specialised in a continuum when they have handled at least three missions in the canon. Most of these agents are also active/specialised in other continua. It is often not the agents who decide where their specialty lies, but the Flowers that keep assigning missions to them.
