Title: The Queen of Swords
Author: speedy
Fandom(s): Torchwood
Characters: Alice, Tarot Card Girl, Jack
Rating: PG
Summary: Her right hand raises the weapon vertically and the hilt rests on an arm of her royal chair; the left hand is extended, the arm raised; her countenance is severe but chastened; it suggests familiarity with sorrow. It does not represent mercy, and, her sword notwithstanding, she is scarcely a symbol of power.
Spoilers: Children of Earth, Fragments

Notes: Quote is from Pictorial Key to the Tarot by A.E. Waite, creator of the Rider-Waite tarot card deck.

( A little girl, no more than thirteen years old and wearing an old fashioned dress straight out of a Victorian photograph, walked up to her table. )
