Summary: Jack's thoughts when he asks Ianto on that date. The Welsh are scary, dammit!
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: 1,098
Warnings: Set during Torchwood 2x01 "KKBB"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: One of the CUTEST Janto fics that I've ever read! The internal monologue of Jack as he's trying to make-up for leaving Ianto without a word by asking him on a date...

I'm sure everyone remembers hearing more than a 1,000 fangirls squeeing during this scene, yes? *grins*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Captain Jack Harkness is over a hundred and fifty years old and has travelled to practically every universe in existence, in any combination of different time zones.

... but right now he has never been more terrified. The Welsh are scary, dammit...

The first genuine smile he gets from Ianto since he got back. Jack is slightly confused... He was adding that to the... Jack’s list of things that twenty-something Welsh boys shouldn’t be able to do to him, even if they are ridiculously pretty

Comment or Excerpt from fic: HAHAHAHAHA! I love this fic! Owen's curiosity making trouble for the Torchwood team and poor Ianto is stuck... literally...

Just another thing to add to Jack's "Kink List," for sure! XD

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Sensing that Ianto wasn’t going to drop it, Owen let out a long sigh as he retrieved the item of his pocket, “I found it last week when we rescued those aliens from the river after their ship crashed...”

“You should tell Jack,” mumbled Ianto still gazing at the foreign object.

“Fuck off I will,” hissed Owen pulling his arm back towards his chest. “I found it and I’m going to figure out what it does,” he stated almost boasting with pride...

At the split second his fingers touched the object, it began to change.

... the now black device opened across the middle before letting out a blinding flash. Ianto fell off the desk and Owen slumped into his chair both were unconscious.

REC: 3-FIC SERIES BY ADDICTDTOWORDS

[itoshii-chan.livejournal.com]

R/C: Alright people, this is a multi-rec post! It is a three-story (two one-shots and one multi-chapter) series by addictdtowords. They are posted in chronological order, so please bear that in mind and enjoy! ^^

=====================================================================
Title: I Still Remember
Author: addictdtowords
Genre: AU, Fluff, Romance, General, Humor
Rating: PG-13
Other/Implied Pairings: Owen/Tosh, implied GwenxRhys
Summary: A little Tosh/Owen fic that takes place after Adam has come and gone.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot, part One of Series
Word Count: 742
Warnings: Spoilers upto 2x05 "Adam"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Aah, we don't see all that many Owen/Tosh fics, so I liked this! It's funny, silly, and just all-'round WAFF and after reccing all angsty fics recently, this is a reprieve for me! It's Owen/Tosh-centric, but it's Janto implied, so YAY!!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

It had been exactly 1 month to the day that Adam had graced The Torchwood Institute with his presence. They all acted as if they had no idea who he was, they had forgotten him, sent him back into the colorless void of which he had come from. Yes everyone at Torchwood had forgotten all about Adam but they couldn’t ignore what his presence had brought to their close knit group. Fear, loathing, want, confusion, passion. Adam had destroyed them from the inside out, controlling their memories with his touch. No one remembered him, but none of them could forget the aftermath his touch had left.

Rating: PG-13
Other/Implied Pairings: Owen/Tosh, Gwen/Rhys
Summary: This is a sequel to I Still Remember. It kind of came to me unexpectedly begging to be written. So of course I had to.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot, part Two of Series
Word Count: 1,833
Warnings: Spoilers until after 2x09 "Something Borrowed," Disregard Owen's "Dead Man Walking" status
Comment or Excerpt from fic: *LOL* The trials and tribulations of pregnancy and poor Jack is stuck dealing in between two pregnant women at the same time! *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

No one had seen Tosh and Owen coming. Them being together...getting married. Getting pregnant. Lately Torchwood had been Gyno-central. At least that's what Jack had said one day in a fit of anger at his office being taken over by the very pregnant Tosh and the very pregnant Gwen for baby shower planning. One pregnant woman was enough for Jack to deal with, but two? That he simply couldn't handle. He would instead spend most of his time hanging around with Owen in the autopsy room. Ianto was the only male allowed into Gwen and Tosh's circle. He helped them plan the showers, pick from hundreds of paint samples the perfect colors for their respective nurseries, and even helped in the naming process.

Status: Work In Progress
Length: One-shots & Multi-chaptered Series
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one of the most gorgeously written Janto fic series I've ever read... AM reading (since it's a WIP at the moment)! Starting off pre-series, it's got mystery and it's so intriguing and it's roped me in hook, line, and sinker!! There's an underlying plot that has been introduced, but hasn't yet been expanded on (yet) and it looks bigger than anything we could imagine as of yet... *twitches in excitement* And the characterization is just... GUH!! For now, this fic accentuates the relationship between Jack and Ianto, and it's wonderfully crafted... I can hardly wait for the rest!! ^^

The stories are posted in chronological order and are written by Teach with Andi (andromeda05) foraying into this world every once in a while!

Other/Implied Pairings: N/A
Summary: Set sometime during the second season, Ianto catalogues Jack.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: WOW! This is a gorgeous one-shot... all the reasons that Ianto loves Jack and Jack's reason for Ianto loving him... just... *sighs dreamily*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He’s asleep and I watch him. He doesn’t sleep very often and almost never this peacefully. Jack is so much, so present, so everything...

I want to love him but the thought frightens me. He’s for forever and always and I know I’m not enough for him. I don’t want to hurt him by loving him too much...

I raise a hand and caress his cheek. “Give me a reason to love you,” I whisper.

Suddenly, Jack opens his eyes and looks at me. He’s smiling softly. “I’m here,” he says... He lurches forward and kisses me, tongue pressing gently into my mouth... “I’ll always be here.”
