HEART, AND BRAIN, AND ALL

Summary:
If Gwen is the conscience, and Tosh is clearly the brain – then what, Ianto ponders, are the rest of them?

Characters: whole team (Ianto, Jack, Gwen, Tosh, Owen)

Rating:
G

Notes:

In honour of the fact that I’m IN CARDIFF RIGHT NOW (!!!), a Torchwood ficlet.

This was an idea I had a million years ago, inspired by a line Tosh says in “Wonderland” by nancybrown. I always wanted to incorporate this into a much larger, plottier fic, and maybe I still will someday; but for now, this. :-)

THERE ARE DAYS 


Summary:

Sometimes Jack gets lost in how much he has lived through, how much he has lost.

Ianto always finds him.


Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto, with mentions of other characters
(set any nebulous time with the full team during the run of the show, and also CoE never happens, yes?)

Words: 600

Rating: PG-13

Notes: I was processing some feelings of my own, and they came out as Jack Harkness.

(A set of interconnected drabbles about Jack, Ianto, and im/mortality. Angsty topics, I suppose, but overall loving and hopeful.)

Inspired by bfcure's Russian translation of my short Torchwood fic "Foreign Languages," I thought it would be fun to try my own hand at a translation...into German. This would not have been possible without the German-beta-work-extraordinaire of [livejournal.com profile] vulcan_rhapsody. Thank you!!

Auuugh, sorry, I borrowed a bit of Sam Starbuck’s headcanon yet again, for Jack’s section.

SOME THINGS CAN'T WAIT

Summary:

Jack burst into Ianto’s flat without knocking (typical Jack), framed himself dramatically in the doorway, and declared, “You were told about Flat Holm in the strictest confidence, Ianto!”

Ianto looked up from where he was making pizza – making enough for two, because Jack was so very predictable sometimes – and smiled at the picture Jack made, there in the doorway, indignant but never without his flare for the dramatic.

Characters/Pairing: Jack/Ianto

Words: ~1,200

Rating: PG-13

Notes: Set directly following “Adrift” (2x11). Also compliant with the “Captain’s Blog” entry for that episode (even if it may not seem like it at first!)

Also, partially inspired by a small bit in Chapter 3 of [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge’s story “Nicholas Redux.”

Story also at AO3!

VERY 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] copperbadge’s stunningly good stories. I suggest reading all of them!
