Very 21st Century (Torchwood fic)
Apr. 18th, 2015 01:35 pmVERY 21ST CENTURY
Summary: “I’ve been wanting to ask you a question,” Ianto says. “But I’ve decided against it. You’d only tell me how very 21st century I am.”
Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Words: ca. 1,600
Rating: PG
Notes: Finally, my first foray into Torchwood fic! …And yes, I know I discovered this show about a decade too late to actively participate in the fandom. Sigh.
Set shortly after “Something Borrowed” (2x09).
In case you’re not familiar with Torchwood and want to read this story anyway, I’ll try to summarise the background... The Torchwood team protect the Earth from alien threats (or attempt to do so) from a not-so-secret base called the Hub, in Cardiff. They’re led by Captain Jack Harkness: omnisexual, immortal time traveller originally from the 51st century, renowned for flirting with anything that moves. Over the course of the show, Jack develops an increasingly serious relationship with teaboy-turned-field-operative Ianto Jones, but also has an intense (though unconsummated) attraction/affection with Gwen Cooper…even when Gwen marries her long-term, long-suffering boyfriend. Yes, Torchwood’s sexual politics are complicated.
Oh, and they have a pet pterodactyl.
My headcanon of Ianto and Jack’s relationship is probably one part canon, two parts![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
copperbadge’s stunningly good stories. I suggest reading all of them!
