Comment or Excerpt from fic: I really liked this fic. Like the title says, it's about 3 times that Jack and Ianto didn't have sex, and one time they do have sex, which is the last bit. Great characterization, and wonderful writing. :D On the first one, Ianto takes care of a hurting Jack (which is one of my favorite plotlines), the second one is where they have their first date, which is my favorite bit (Post KKBB), third one is where Jack wants teh sex, and the last one is the reunion bit with smut. Hot smut. :D

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Okay, so I'm pretty sure that's the title for the fic, but if I'm wrong let me know. O_O I LOVE this oneshot, because it has hurt!Ianto, and I love it when the team is worried about him and stuff. So Ianto is dying, and Owen is worried. (I love Owen in this, especially when he starts talking about how Jack is possessive of Ianto, who was unaware of it). And aww, I liked it when Ianto asks Jack 'the question' we've all been waiting for. Does he love Gwen? I love Jack's answer and how he's so worried about Ianto. *_*

Ashes and Dust by Blucougar57

Title: Ashes and Dust
Author: Blucougar57
Genre: Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: Adult
Summary: The usual Christmas celebrations are turned on their head for the Torchwood team when a seemingly random attack devastates one of their own.
Status: WIP
Length: 6 chapters
Warnings: Rape, assault, graphic violence
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This fic hurts to read, and yet it's so incredibly compelling. A lot of fics deal with the concept of Jack hurting Ianto; this fic does it the other way around, and boy, is it a whammy. Jack is utterly devastated in this fic, and the author writes it very convincingly. I'm actually kind of sad that this isn't finished, but intrigued to see where it will go especially with a Jack who's dealing with the repercussions of rape, and how that will affect his relationship with Ianto. It's very, very clear in this fic that Jack and Ianto love each other, but are dealing with a huge misunderstanding on top of the fact that Jack is traumatized and in an incredible amount of pain. It also has Kathy Swanson, who's written very well as a concerned detective just trying to do her job, and who approaches what has happened to Jack with a compassionate professionalism that is very desperately needed, as the Torchwood team are far too close to Jack to offer that.
