Gwen waited until Rhys was asleep, and then slipped out of bed and drove to the Hub. She loved the furtive feeling of wandering across the empty plaza, stepping up to the fountain, and then the click and the cold rush of night air as the invisible lift carried her down.
Sensing her presence, lights flickered gently into action, lighting up each of the storeys that the lift carried her through. Little pathways across the Hub’s floor lit up, and she stepped over to her desk, switched her computer on, then went over to put the kettle on. Ianto wasn’t around, so she figured she could make a cup of instant without getting into trouble. She guiltily kept a tiny jar hidden in her workstation. She’d tried telling him once that instant wasn’t so bad, really, but he’d just stared at her, like she was giving the ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech.

“There’s one thing I always wanted to ask Jack. Back in the old days. I wanted to know about that Doctor of his, the man who appears out of nowhere and saves the world. Except sometimes he doesn’t. All those times in history where there was no sign of him… I wanted to know why not. But I don’t need to ask anymore; I know the answer now. Sometimes the Doctor must look at this planet… and turn away in shame. I’m recording this in case anyone ever finds it, so you can see. You can see how the world ended.”

So I saw this, which (as it says in its own caption) was inspired by this poem, and thought I’d play around with some character-specific ones! After all, lots of well-developed characters are all of those things.
I changed #10 because Gwen would never identify herself as a girl, so writing it as it was in the original just didn’t feel appropriate.
"No, Gwen. No, really itâs bloody not. Itâs the worst part of any world because you donât really belong anywhere, because you are never sure of yourself or those around you. You canât trust in anyone, their motives or their intentions. And because of that, you have, in a world that likes its nice shiny labels, no true identity. For Torchwoodâs âLittle Miss Sensitiveâ, you donât half talk crap sometimes. So do me a favour and shut up about it, all right?"

“Even now, I get terrified. But at the same time, it is brilliant, and beautiful, and completely bloody magic. It’s bigger, you know? It’s like, it’s like the whole wide world is bigger. My life is bigger.”
