Code Name Uisdean
A.J. Hall
Code Name Uisdean is a Torchwood / Cabin Pressure crossover fic with aspects of the Bond movies.
When the passengers on the outbound flight to Washington D.C. cannibalise the plane’s de-icing system and landing gear greasing conduits to improvise an antidote to arsenic, air steward Danny is left stranded thousands of miles from home and with an uneasy sense that he’s seen too much for the CIA to let him go quietly. A chance encounter with a fellow steward offers him an improbable life-line - but in a contest between the Central Intelligence Agency and MJN Air, will God be on the side of the big battalions?
Warnings: The author chooses not to warn.
