Genre: h/c, angst
Rating:NC17
Summary: Jack Harkness lives in a cubicled office. Then one day, he meets a blue eyed man, and things slowly start to change.
Status: Complete
Length:20 chapters plus epilogue
Warnings: Jack/OMC, domestic abuse
Comment or Excerpt from fic:Ianto asked if Jack wanted to come for lunch, and Jack said yes, he did, thank you very much, and so they went to lunch. They went to a small bistro, and ordered sandwiches. While they ate, Ianto asked Jack about his fears of aliens and scary movies. Jack made an embarrassed sound, and shook his head.
"I know they're not real," he said when they sat outside in a small café, trying to explain. "But, I don't know, they just seem so real on the screen, and I just get so into it, like this life..."
He fell quiet, not quite sure what he'd been about to say, but certain he really shouldn't say it.
"Like there should be more to this life?" Ianto suggested.
Jack grinned ruefully.
"Aliens. Maybe," he said and looked up at the sky above.
Stars shone down, and he imagined walking on another planet. What would it be like? Something like terrified excitement coursed through his body. He thought of his dreams, dreams of running.
"Do you think there are aliens out there?" Ianto asked and bit into his sandwich.
Jack felt a little silly, but answered.
"Would be an awful waste of space otherwise," he said, quietly, unsure.
Ianto looked up at the sky, and nodded.
I love this so much. It's really plotty and interesting, and the interactions between Jack and Ianto are just so sweet. Link to chapter 1 below.
