Authors Note:
Okay. Hello! This is a songfic based on the song Homecoming by Green Day. I'm going to have 4 chapters (I think), one for each of the 4 parts of the song (except for the 2nd) and one for each of the Torchwood members except Gwen. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I didn't think that any bit of the song really represented her. Just to mention, I haven't written for about a year, and this is sort of a *If this works, I'll continue, and if it doesn't I probably won't pick up a notebook ever again* so just tell me what you think, truthfully. Unfortunately, there are plenty of fanfic writers that can't write and won't stop, and plenty that write amazingly who don't ever continue. Hmm, I just found that songfics aren't technically allowed. Don't hurt me.
[Part 1: The death of St. Jimmy]
Toshiko
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Another Friday night. For once, it would be nice, thought Tosh, if she might be able to share something with someone. But Torchwood was top secret. Hard to find anyone she had anything in common with. But maybe Owen?
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
How long was she going to wait, hoping the Owen would notice? Or that some other nice guy would come along without the constant worry of her job. Her bloody job.
You taught me how to live
In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
Jack. That bloody man. He saved her. And in doing so, he also condemned her. But she wouldn't trade it for the world.
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust
And one day, Mary appeared. First, she seemed like a bit of a crazy stalker. And then a friend. And then a bit more...
What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure and whats your pain?
Mary. An amazing girl. She made Toshiko feel special. Someone, finally to share her life with. Someone who understands.
Do you dream to much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
Who was she kidding? Mary was a psycho-bitch alien. Yeah. Tosh had great taste in people. And then Tommy. He came and he went. He was special, and he would have been there. But he had to go back to his time. To die.
In the crowd of pain. St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says "we're fucked up"
And then Owen comes. Tosh didn't expect it. Owen didn't expect it. It wasn't really a thing. But they were friends. That was good, wasn't it?
But we're not the same
And there's ups and downs.
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
Jimmy died today
Toshiko's Owen died. A bullet through the heart. And that wasn't fair. Not to Tosh. Not to Jack and Ianto. And definitely not to Owen.
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind it's my own private suicide.
And again, there was a dead man walking. Owen didn't want to be un-dead. And then, when he finally got used to it, when he was happy, he was blown into atoms. Toshiko didn't hold on. Why should she?
