Fic rec: Narnia/ Torchwood crossover

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] parrot_knight, I've just read an excellent Narnia-Torchwood crossover, Threads that are golden don't break easily by [livejournal.com profile] paperclipbitch. This is one of the great things about fandom, because this is not a concept I would ever have thought could work, and yet it does (despite a few surface liberties with the timelines and the probable location of the Pevensies' schools). Spoilers for all the Narnia books, film! Susan, and the most ingenious and satisfying take on the problem of Susan I've ever seen. Also, Captain Jack.

“I told you not to turn that tree into a piece of furniture,” Harkness snaps. “Oh, nothing will happen, you said. The last time you went to Narnia you nearly caused all of Cardiff to fall into a crack between the dimensions.”

Thanks so much for reccing this -- it was fantastic! Despite my not having seen Prince Caspian yet (I've been meaning to since it came out, but things kept getting in the way). It's such a perfect crossover and I wondered as soon as Susan joined Torchwood if that might be used as an explanation for the ending of The Last Battle. Very, very satisfying.

By the way, have you read The Ivory Horn (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/40/theivory.html)? Wonderful Narnia/His Dark Materials crossover.
