[xbeax.livejournal.com]

Hello~!

:D Wow, the community has over 200 members!!! So cool!! :D

Right now we have around 142 fics that have been recced in this community, including series.

Thanks to cls_tweedy , ihazatardis , jaimie2i , joesther , pinkfairy727  for reccing this month and astuta for reccing me some fics. :D Thanks to love_jackianto for giving making a banner for the community, which can be found in the userinfo.

I hope the community gains more members and that you all participate in posting recs or comments. *Because I'm sure there are lots of Jack/Ianto fics that I haven't read yet or haven't been recced* Come on members, keep on reccing!

As you can see, the tags have been renamed for better view and for organization. Also, I'm in the process for adding tags for the word counts from the fics, thanks to joesther for your suggestion~! If any of you have any more suggestions, go to the Suggestion Thread. The link is at the sidebar. :3 *And remember, you don't have to tag the entries if you don't want to*


Okay, now I'll shut up. :P

Fools and Drunkards by mandysbitch

[xbeax.livejournal.com]

Title:  Fools and Drunkards
Author: mandysbitch
Genre: Angst/General
Rating: PG13
Summary: When Jack gets back, he finds the hub empty. He admits it’s not the happy reunion he was hoping for.
Status: Complete
Length: Oneshot, ~3058
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: So Jack comes back and instead of the reunion he was hoping for, he arrives and finds everyone has been fine without him. Poor Jack *but he really should've said goodbye* What I love about this is that everyone acts normal and Jack angsts because he wanted hugs and maybe questions, but he got nothing. (Especially from Ianto).

Genre: Angst/Smut
Rating: NC17
Summary: It took a week after Lisa died for the world around me to feel real again.
Status: Complete

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Ahh the angst~! This one is a post-cyberwoman piece, and I think it's very in character on how she wrote Jack and Ianto becoming lovers after all the baggage they had between them. (And this time it's Ianto after Jack, the author made it very believable).

Warnings: Post-Last of the Time Lords from Doctor Who, alternate post-end of days
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I love the fics that deal with Jack coming back from his travels with the Doctor, post-last of the time lords. :3 In this one, Ianto is so understanding and and I like it when the author describes how Jack realized he loves all of them when he was captured. And the Jack/Ianto bits are so emotional I think...Really loved it, very nice piece of fiction. Go read!

Endings, Beginnings by laytoncolt

[xbeax.livejournal.com]

Title: Endings, Beginnings
Author: laytoncolt 
Genre: Angst
Rating: PG
Summary: Jack doesn't even realize that he's been broken up with for almost a month.
Status: Complete :(
Length: Oneshot, ~1200
Warnings: Jack/Gwen
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Wow, I cried when I finished reading this fic, I kid you not. :( I felt sorry for Ianto, poor baby, and I wanted to hit Jack a couple of times for having his MOMENT OF REALIZATION too late. >< I am still hoping for a sequel!! So *cough* please leave a comment to the author showing your appreciation for such a wonderful fic and your wishes for a sequel. You know you want to! Anyways, great read and characterization, and Ianto's voice is really spot-on, in my opinion.
~_~_~_~

Ianto would leave if he had anywhere to go. The sad truth is if he stayed after Lisa, he can stay after this, and if every part of him still hurts he hasn't stopped moving and he isn't going to, now, either. It's actually kind of funny how little changes at all. Jack doesn't even realize that he's been broken up with for almost a month.

"You haven't been over for awhile," Jack says.

Ianto says, "Oh, I'm not having sex with you anymore. Have a pleasant evening, sir. I'll see you in the morning."

And as he left he found that moving hurt a little less.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a very fun AU where Suzie is the leader of Torchwood, Owen is an ass, Tosh is the same as always and Jack hasn't joined Torchwood. :3 In this fic, Jack's spaceship crashes and TW (Ianto and Owen) get sent to see what happened. :D Loved the ending, it really made me smile, and whoa Suzie was very very scary and evil here, seriously.

Rating: PG-13
Summary: Post KKBB. What happens at the end of the episode? First date fic. :D
Status: Complete

Warnings: Post-KKBB
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This one was recced to me by the wonderful astuta :D. This fic I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Exactly the kind of fic I would've loved to read after watching KKBB. It's fluff but not overly-fluffy. I really loved Jack and Ianto's interactions, and how Jack goes him asking Ianto on the date and how Ianto feels a little angry at Jack but then he doesn't anymore because Jack acts soo cute in this fic and asking Ianto questions and stuff, seriously! Go read!

Title: I Saw You Dancing

Rating: PG/PG13
Summary:Jack wants to take Ianto dancing, Ianto refuses. Can Owen help them solve their argument?
Status: WIP
Length: 5 so far
Warnings: Ianto/Owen friendship, but I don't know where it's going in the future.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I like this because we get to see Owen and Ianto interact a lot and that doesn't happen much. There is also a part in one of the chapters where, Owen rewrites Mambo No. 5, and I think I prefer it to the original. And jealous Jack is always interesting ;c)
