Comment or Excerpt from fic: So another fic based on what happens after Jack comes back from his trip with the Doctor post-TW 1x13. It's only in the first chapter, but we're promised 15 chapters... well, 17 if you count the two two-parter chapters separately... Anyway, Jack gets a shock, I'm sure, but I'm hoping for a jealous! and possessive!Jack in this fic. ^^ Regardless, I'm eagerly waiting for the updates!
~*~*~*~*~
Jack felt a tingling sensation in the pit of his stomach as he inexplicably related it to Ianto.
Wandering back out into the hub, he went to check Tosh’s computers, seeing whether the team was on a call or not. He got less than three feet out of the door before he stopped, frozen in place. At Tosh’s workstation, there was a man he’d never seen before, standing and looking at the readings of the Rift monitor... he simply cleared his throat, arms folded across his chest as he waited for the man to react.
“Captain Harkness, I presume.” The voice sounded vaguely amused as the man turned around to face him...
“You presume correctly. And who might you be?” Jack looked at him inquisitively, a small smile on his face.
“Thomas, Thomas Greene... I work for UNIT...”
“UNIT?” Jack’s face suddenly dropped and he unconsciously shifted his weight into a more hostile stance.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Totally fluffy mini-interlude following Just Like a Man. From personal experience, I suggest enjoying the WAFF while it lasts cuz the interlude's end just about points to the angst that follows...
~*~*~*~*~
In sleep, Ianto was stripped bare of all his mysteriousness and his cynicism... something which made Jack extremely protective of that side of his lover. He felt privileged to see it so often and didn’t like the thought of anyone else intruding on the scene.
He felt himself smile when the form between the covers started to shift and curled up slightly, twisting round so he was watching Jack from the side, one eye cracked open... his voice husky with sleep. Jack didn’t reply. Instead, he moved to lie on his stomach next to the other man, kissing him seductively on the lips before moving his attention to the jaw line and exposed neck... “I missed this.” He said quietly, the hint of a laugh in his voice.
“What?...” Ianto raised an eyebrow in reply, smiling nonetheless. Jack chuckled and shook his head, leaning forwards and gently kissing Ianto, biting lightly on his bottom lip... “Oh…”

Title: Danger Zone
Author:butterflycell
Genre: AUish, Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Episode Related, Gap-filler, Missing Scene
Rating: R
Other/Implied Pairings: implied past: Jack/John, Jack/OCs
Summary: Jack got a message on his wrist strap, and we all know 'That Never Beeps' - this can only mean one thing. But what will that mean for Jack and Ianto's relationship?
Status: COMPLETE
Length: Multi-chapter, Story 3 / 16 TOTAL
Word Count: ~ 24,219
Warnings: general spoilers for Torchwood especially 2x01 "KKBB," minor reference to TW 2x03 "To The Last Man," implied Violence (past & present), Torture (past)
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Just Like a Man immediately following from the two-parter interlude Dizzy. I was right! Angst-central, here we come! So, based on TW 2x01 "KKBB," but not exactly the same. John is darker and the fic is angstier than canon, but the fic takes us behind-the-scenes through Janto's relationship and how it's being rebuilt (slowly...), so... *shrugs and grins*
~*~*~*~*~
Ianto kept his mouth shut, though his mind was running at a thousand miles an hour. He simply nodded... Jack was... concentrating on his wrist strap, paying attention to very little else.
“Ianto, do you have any idea what’s going on?” Gwen asked eventually...
“Sorry, Gwen. I’m as in the dark about this as you are.” Ianto’s voice was curt and precise, though still polite. He was trying very hard to stop himself from making this even worse. Right now, they needed to sort this out. Questions could be answered later on.
“Alright, he’s at the Reunion Bar...” Jack said suddenly... meeting Ianto’s eye with an apology and a promise – an apology for this sudden intrusion into their lives and a promise to explain it... Silently, Jack was rolling his eyes at the drama the stranger had caused. Reunion Bar… how fitting, he thought acidly.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Danger Zone. Okay, so I thought Danger Zone was angst-central, but it's got nothing on this! So, John's gone, but leaves behind one team member hurt and on the verge of dying, and it's not who you think! This fic isn't as action-oriented as the last, but it's all emotional and angsty and just makes me cry! *sniffles*
~*~*~*~*~
Jack’s heart was gripped by a huge iron fist... on the spot, dreading to see what had happened. Time slowed... down and it seemed to take a lifetime for him to blink and open his eyes... He... In the middle... lying on his back, gripping at his stomach, his breathing laboured... and... groaning in pain. In a flash, time caught up and Owen was yelling at him... pulling his hands from the wound and lifting up his shirt. He felt bile rise... as he saw the wound...
“It’s shredded his insides, he needs to get to a hospital...” Owen... snarled. “Now!”
... his mind snarled like a wild animal, fury, horror and fear tangling viciously... humans were barbaric, they really were... The team fell into a flawless pattern... Owen sitting in the back... His breathing... shallower and his movements... sluggish, his hands feebly trying to grip... every time they were jostled. “I’ll kill him…” He murmured, eyes closed and his face screwed up in pain. “If he ever comes back, I’ll kill him…”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Sky Blue and Black and fourth (also probably the last) in the series. You know, I should've known that there will always be something more angsty than what's already been written... =___=;; So, rather than comparing fics on the angst scale, I'll just say that this is one of the most ANGSTY and HEARTBREAKINGLY PAINFUL pieces I've EVER read and...! And...! *bawling her eyes out*
~*~*~*~*~
‘It is time…’ came the whisper in the Doctor’s mind. He closed his eyes slowly and nodded painfully. Whilst he knew this day would come, it was the day he dreaded more than anything.
It was only four Earth years after those mysterious three days and, even though he knew more time than this was a miracle, he mourned for Ianto Jones.
*
Jack sat in his office and stared at his computer screen... He took a deep breath, forced himself to stop crying and opened the file he’d been avoiding... His heart felt like lead, twisting and aching in his chest every second since it had happened, even more so now. The reality would soon sink in and he couldn’t face it.
