Help me, Interwebs Kenobi

I am tired, depressed and misanthropic right now, so of course I have a terrible urge to read hurt/comfort fic and drink large amounts of red wine. Any recommendations?

My preferred fandoms right now would probably be Heroes, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Due South, Blake's 7 and Top Gear. If you can turn up any 2000AD slashfic, I will be a) absolutely astonished and b) eternally grateful. Wine recommendations also appreciated.

Unfortunately, ended up in Sainsbury's staring at three or four £5-£7 Riojas. I have ended up drinking a large amount of some Rioja, which is almost certainly not the one you meant, but was rather nice anyway and has rekindled some of my faith in the existence of goodness in the universe. Decent wine will do that.

The process of finding out which one you actually meant by trial and error will be a dreadful imposition. Oh no. How will I cope?

I forgot to mention how much I appreciated the wine rec in and of itself. Has opened up a whole new range of interesting wine experimentation.

Much sympathy. Here are some rather sweet exercises in TW fandom which may prove a solace:

With Room Enough to Heal. How Torchwood recovers after "Exit Wounds", played out against glimpses of the relationship between Martha Jones and Ten.

"There's a girl and she is the kind of girl Jack would help carry her suitcase from the station.

Except Martha has a car and he is in danger of over-romanticizing trains."

What You Wish For. Adult. A hot and terribly sweet exercise in PC Andy/Tosh porn (sic).

"He feels like a right goon, standing there in front of the window with a highly visible trouser tent and shit, is that Mikey from down the road?"

Steady as She Goes. A very nicely-edited Tosh fanvid, to the eponymous song by The Raconteurs.

Enjoy.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed. I'd forgotten how much I loved Martha, and it is lovely seeing something nice happening to the Torchwood crew. And I had never imagined dom!Tosh working quite that spectacularly well, although my pattern-recognition instincts are now wincing in anticipation of PC Andy's horrible death.

Having had a large amount of nice Rioja, a compliment from my supervisor, and some pancakes has also helped get my groove back a bit. Also, I have a working Freeview box and am now up to date on Heroes.
