Comment or Excerpt from fic: It greatly amuses me to see Jack get jealous and possessive where Ianto is concerned! And it just as easily pisses me off when he flirts with everyone and goes behind Ianto's back and sleeps with others, but doesn't like it when Ianto flirts with others. *siiigh* Sometimes I just wish Ianto would just bitch-punch Jack into oblivion...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

It had all started so innocently. Both of them had noticed the ladies looking. Ianto said they were looking at Jack, but Jack knew better... Still, they had enjoyed the attention... joked about it... But Jack had never dreamed that Ianto would take him up on his dare... He watched in disbelief as three of the women surrounded Ianto... and started slathering him with tanning oil... Jack hadn’t believed he had a jealous bone in his body, but he’d been wrong. Watching Ianto being touched and fawned over by those silly girls, Jack felt himself getting... Angry. He was jealous, and he was doubly pissed off about it. When he saw one girl... press herself against Ianto’s back, Jack almost lost it... Ianto... saw Jack get up from their blanket and start towards him, stomping... angrily...

Jack’s eyes narrowed as he picked up the pace... Ianto... looked up at... Jack... looming disapprovingly over him. Fuck. Jack was really pissed off; he hadn’t expected that. And Ianto... knew it was time to go.

Title: Private Universe
Author: exileonmain
Genre: AU, Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, MPreg, Smut?, Romance?
Rating: NC-17
Other/Implied Pairings: N/A
Summary: What if love and a baby wasn't enough to salve the sting of deep betrayal?
Status: Work In Progress
Length: Multi-chapter / ?? TOTAL
Word Count: TBC
Warnings: Mild-violence, Post-Doctor Who 4x12 "The Stolen Earth"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Honestly, gotta say that it's the words "Post DW4x12" and "deep betrayal" that caught my attention and pulled me towards this fic to begin with. Of course, that was automatically followed by the word "MPREG" in the warnings! ^________________^ Anyway, the summary already shows that this is no warm-and-fuzzy story... *wince*... but I can forgive that if I can get a happy ending after all the angst and hurt/comfort and character growth... And I'm holding exileonmain to the promise that eventually, there WILL be a happy ending at the end of it all.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack had sent everyone home except Martha. He had requested that she stay behind to run some tests and scans. She had given him an odd look but didn't question him. Perhaps she knew she wouldn't get the answers she wanted until he did. He had a hunch - no, call it more a sinking feeling - that this was exactly the kind of thing he didn't need right now. This is the result of what happens when you let your heart (and your dick) speak louder than your rationale. He paced around the hub, picking things up and putting them back down in the effort to find something to keep his mind occupied in the meantime. The waiting was the worst part. He hated it. He never was long on patience as he was in other things.

... "So are you going to trust me enough to tell me what these are for?"

... "I think I'm pregnant,"...

Title: Revelation
Author: finksgirl
Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: PG
Other/Implied Pairings: past Ianto/Lisa
Summary: An idea about Ianto’s belief system. Definitely a character study of the way Ianto’s life could be from when he was younger until just before the series 2 premiere.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: ~ 1,435
Warnings: spoilers for Torchwood season 1 and 2x12 "Fragments," Post TW-1x13 "End of Days," but pre-season 2
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh this is such a gorgeous, gorgeous fic; I was tearing my eyes out. It's all from Ianto's POV, just his thoughts and feelings. I guess I can't really say it's a romantic piece either, but it's beautiful none-the-less.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He was a dreamer, a drifter, a thinker and a lover... A man without a name and a hidden agenda. He said he was from Torchwood and, at the time, the young man had no idea just what effect that would have on his life. Looking back, that one phone call truly defined his life. He wouldn’t have left Newport, wouldn’t have gotten a career, met Lisa, lost Lisa, found Jack. Jack. That was one anomaly even Ianto wouldn’t have expected...

He missed those earlier days... Truthfully, he just missed Jack. His Jack...

His Jack wasn’t perfect, wasn’t a hero and wasn’t Lisa but that was alright because he was just him and that was okay with him.

... He decided to light a candle after all. He may not believe in religion or a higher power but he does believe in Jack and for now that’s enough.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: A crazy and hilarious fic! Of course, it can't be anything else when the bride's a human and previous companion of the Doctor's who's traveled space and time and her friends in the wedding party that include said Doctor (a Time Lord), his recent companion who's a feisty red-head, and Torchwood 3 (alien fighting institute) team consisting of the immortal leader and also a previous companion to said Time Lord, his snarky and sarcastic but intelligent lover and employee, another employee whose the only female that's recently married and impregnated by an alien at the time of her marriage and her husband, probably the only normal and sane person in the group, but just how long he can retain that sanity remains to be seen!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

It was the 14th of August and on this day, just less than thirty minutes ago, Miss Martha Jones became officially Mrs. Milligan... “I love weddings!” announced the Doctor with a grin...

“High drama, potential for disaster, but an all around happy ending,” Jack listed with a beatific smile...

“Would you choose one over an office party, then?” Ianto asked...

“Who says I have to choose? My next wedding, I’m having it at an office. I’ll exchange vows by the fax machine.”

“And no doubt honeymoon by the copier,” Ianto predicted with an indulgent smile.

Gwen laughed so violently into her drink it nearly sloshed over.

Donna wondered if her time with the Doctor had heightened her tolerance for the bizarre a lot more than she’d originally estimated. The on going conversation didn’t seem that strange.
