Comment or Excerpt from fic: Totally Ianto's POV, it shows his feelings about Jack leaving and his inability to let him go and finally his acceptance. It's an emotional fic that shows Ianto's growth as a person and this growth is shown via Ianto's acceptance of Jack only after he proves himself.

EXCERPT:
Over the few months Jack had been gone, Ianto had learnt a lot about himself, as both a Torchwood employee and a person outside of work... Being left without Jack showed him how strong willed he was. He couldn’t deny how much the knowledge of being left behind had hurt. But after several hours of crying seemingly endless tears, the tiny droplets of salt turned into dust and he knew he was through crying over Jack Harkness.
He wasn’t the first man to be left by a lover, and he knew he wouldn’t be the last. In the days that had followed Ianto had been reminded of a phrase his mother had told... "No man is worth crying over."
The words had stung at the time – being male, they had actually wounded his pride – but years later they seemed to make sense. While they hadn’t been directed at him, the same maxim applied. There was no use crying over someone who wasn’t there to see the tears and realise the pain they had inflicted.
