Title: Even to the Edge
Author:

zhian_tara
Genre: Um, slight angst I guess?
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A routine operation almost ends disastrously, Jack wants to know exactly why Ianto's been taking so many risks, and Ianto's icy self-control finally snaps.
Status: Complete
Comment or Excerpt: So I literally read this, opened up my LJ client, and had to insta-rec this. It's *brilliant*! The show would never be able to deal with this particular issue as well as zhian_tara did in so few words. Plus, who wasn't at least a little turned on when Ianto and Jack were shouting at each other in "Cyberwoman"?

Jack’s never sounded quite so enraged, as the five members of the Torchwood team wearily traipse back into the Hub after what should have been a fairly simple alien neutralization and retrieval. Instead, it had become a terrifying illustration of how very near a person (namely, Jack) could come to dismemberment, and how horrifyingly immediate Ianto’s mortality very nearly could have been if Jack hadn’t had that microgrenade in his coat.

And now they are home, mostly safe, and Jack is radiating fury from every line of his body as the rest of the team draws back, leaving Jack and Ianto standing facing each other like duelists. It’s a confrontation Jack’s seen coming for a long time, because Ianto’s taking more and more risks out in the field and Jack spends too many nights awake when the thought that maybe Ianto’s deliberately trying to get himself killed ices his veins.

Current Mood: cheerful
