EASILY BRUISED BY WILDSTRANGER
Title: Easily Bruised
Author: wildstranger
Genre: Hurt-comfort (ish)
Rating: R
Summary: Post-Countryside
Status: Complete/Oneshot
Length: One Chapter, 1232 words
Warnings:Spoilers for Cyberwoman and Countryside
Comment or excerpt from fic: Well, no prizes for guessing who's lj I've been stalking lately. Found my way there via one of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beachan18's former recs and it truely is a treasure trove of Janto goodness. This one is post-Countryside (a personal favourite) and I particularly like Jack's care in his handling of Ianto following the events of Cyberwoman and then Countryside. For once he demonstrates patience and restraint which of course is all very well...but it's lovely when he lets baser Jack finally come out to play too :)
~*~*~*
He watches Ianto move slowly around the Hub, pausing to breathe heavily whenever Owen whirls past him with an accidental bump, or when reaching for a extra box of camomile tea on the top shelf (Gwen has taken to drinking herbal teas in the evening and proselytises about the effects despite constant mocking from Owen) causes his jacket to pull too tightly across his shoulders. Jack keeps his hands to himself, refrains from even a friendly brush of hands on the lower back and the spread of warmth it would produce.
He is careful with Ianto, keeping a safe distance between them so that Ianto knows he won't be suddenly attacked (Jack has taken to keeping his hands behind his back when talking to Ianto, which causes great hilarity among the rest of the team), but also asking questions, paying attention, making it clear that Ianto is valued.

Easily Bruised
(Anonymous) 2008-10-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)I especially love these two lines -
"Jack has taken to keeping his hands behind his back when talking to Ianto, which causes great hilarity among the rest of the team"
and
"Ianto allows his head to drop forward, and that's an invitation Jack can't resist"
We know Jack can't not touch.
