EXCERPT:

”I’m sorry. I just couldn’t get rid of him. It’s the only thing I have left of her, the only thing not tainted… I know you ordered me to dispose of her stuff but…” his voice faded again as he started to cry.

“Ianto,” sighed Jack, “I never meant for you to get rid of everything you ever shared with her... please don’t ever think that I want you to forget her completely... You can’t forget something that you loved so much and were willing to risk everything for and I would never ask you too... few people have ever loved with the force that you do. It’s special, Ianto, hold on to the good parts but don’t let the bad parts destroy you. Please”

... Ianto smiled and nodded slightly, saying softly, “Thank you – for being so understanding.”

“Don’t mention it,” replied Jack, just glad to see Ianto smiling again. Without thinking his hand found its way to the small of Ianto's back and he guided them both away from the darkness and back towards the light.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Pure fluff and romance. Ianto comes home to Jack cooking dinner and wonders how rare, but welcome it is.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

'Looks like a scene from some cheesy film,' he thought and chuckled. He had been more than surprised to find out that HIS Captain Jack Harkness actually liked these films, and he wasn't quite sure whether curling up on the couch with Jack was worth watching 'Pride and Prejudice' for what seemed like the 100th time.

...

And yet here he was, sitting down at the simple, wooden kitchen table and watching Jack... They didn't really have much time to spend more than a few, rare evenings or early mornings here,... Still, this was his and Jack's own little realm, a glimpse of a life outside Torchwood. It was home.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

“Here,” Jack said, holding out some money to the kids. “Go get whatever you want.”

Ianto giggled. “You just gave a nine year old and a four year old twenty pounds to get ice cream... You know, moments like these remind me exactly why we bust our arses saving this place. A couple of sweet kids, a nice day… ice cream… Sometimes it seems like it’s not worth it, you know? Then you get reminders like this.”

Jack just kissed the top of Ianto’s head and said nothing. Ianto had gotten exactly the message he’d been trying to send.

Summary: The morning before everything went to hell in a handbasket.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: ~ 935
Warnings: Pre-Torchwood 2x12 "Fragments"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Okay, so this fic DOES get slightly angsty at the end (probably only because all of us know what happens next, but it's mostly fluffy! Though this is set pre-Fragments, and it IS "pre"... well, kind of... This is set the morning OF "Fragments" and leads into the episode until the first bomb blast in the building. It's the author's take on Jack's last thought before the bomb goes "KABOOOOM!"

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack was roused by the sound of bells in his ear. He vaguely recognized the annoying noise as Ianto’s alarm clock screaming at them to wake up. Ianto muttered obscenities under his breath before pulling a hand reluctantly from under the covers and slapped it down on the snooze button causing Jack to smile into his lover’s skin as he listened to Ianto’s grumbling about mornings.

...

He couldn’t think of anywhere he wanted to be more. The mundaneness of the mornings- getting up together, getting dressed, having breakfast together; they were things Jack cherished because of the chaotic way they all lived their lives. Anything that seemed normal and boring in the eyes of everyone else Jack lived to the fullest. Even if it meant spending 15 extra minutes in bed listening to his lover shower for the day.

EXCERPT:

“So... let’s have it. This Jack, he the reason you seem to need coffee at unlivable hours of the night?”

... Ianto smiled. “Jack is…”

“Never mind the details... I can read the whole story in your eyes. Gorram it boy... does he love you back?”

Ianto nodded. “He really does.” He shrugged, “He doesn’t say it all that often, but…it’s the little things.”

... Jack... stopping the ramble with a kiss, leaving his hand on Ianto’s shoulder when he pulled away.

... Ianto... glanced meaningfully at his shoulder (where Jack’s hand still rested).

June smiled, “Noticed,” she said.

“Noticed what?” Jack asked.

“Just a little thing,” Ianto replied.
