Comment or Excerpt from fic: First Rec!! I read this one in Fanfiction.net and it's good!! It's a collection of short stories, most of them are oneshots, but some of them are multi-parters. We get smut, first dates, kick-ass ianto, fluff, etc; a little of everything!
Seriously, it's a very good fic, and I was surprised that it was in fanfiction.net LOL. The excerpt is from the first Oneshot of the Short Stories series.

“Flowers?” Ianto couldn’t keep the startled tone from his voice when he opened his door to find Jack standing there with a bouquet of mixed flowers in his hand. (He was on time, too, even though Ianto had spent the better part of the last hour convincing himself that Jack would either be late or not show up at all.)
“I was under the impression that flowers were part of twenty-first century dating customs,” Jack quipped back with a sly grin. “Have I been misinformed?”
Ianto frowned. “No. No, flowers are part of ‘twenty-first century dating customs.’ Erm…Would you like to come in…?” he asked, a bit hesitantly.
“Don’t mind if I do,” Jack flashed another one of those grins, the kind of smile that had gotten under Ianto’s skin and had refused to go away… but that had been a lifetime ago. After Jack left, everything had changed.
