shivverTitle: "Cyberman"
Fandom(s): Doctor Who
Characters: Amy Pond, Rory Wiliams
Rating: T
Genre: General
Word Count: 406
Summary: In a graveyard in London, Missy is presenting the Doctor with the gift of an army. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond....
Read it on AO3.
Author's Notes: I started this one just after "Dark Water"/"Death in Heaven" aired but never finished it because I thought, no one wants to think about this. But yesterday,romanajo123 showed me Big Finish's announcement of a Torchwood audio with Cyber-Ianto on the cover. Now, who knows what BF actually did (it's probably just Ianto having to dress up as a Cyberman; they've done this kind of thing before), but it got me thinking about how Ianto actually was cyberized and reminded me of this story. Modern Shivver has no qualms about offending people with her stories, so I finished it up and here it is!
But think about it, this is entirely canon: the Cyber-pollen hit every cemetery in the world, so every beloved character who died before this episode was cyberized: not just the Brigadier but Amy, Rory, Sarah Jane, Ianto, to name a few. So, here's the story of two of them.
And just saying, I love it when I get to put "Major Character Death" on a fic. Plus, this also has the F/M relationship tag. 400 words and it hits both ends of the spectrum.

Date: 2026-03-26 07:49 pm (UTC)And I just checked BF to see if we got Ianto disguised as a Cyberman. Here’s what the blurb says-
“ Ianto Jones and Tommy Pierce have fought many alien invaders together. They're more than work colleagues, they're friends. But their friendship is about to be put to the test as they prepare to face a Cyberman.
A Cyberman in a cellar.
In the village of Wetwang.
