Comment or Excerpt from fic:  This is just one of those truly beautiful fics.  Just simple, quiet, romantic, and just absolutely breathtaking.

Excerpt:  Here, on this island of silence and peace, they are light-years away from death and destruction, from the loss of teammates, lovers, family, from the reaches of evil. Here, on this island of that which is unspoken, they are the definition of safe.

Secrets have been told here; whispers have been broken; hearts have soared and flown with as much grace as the pteranodon above them. Jack has murmured whole lifetimes here in the evening, recounting things long forgotten in an effort to preserve them somewhere else than his quickly-filling brain.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I don't really have any comment for this fic... atleast, the first part, anyway... The second part, though... *SQUEE*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Which wasn't to mean that he didn't love or was using Ianto because he couldn't be with Gwen. Oh no... Everything about Ianto undid him in ways that he hadn't felt in all his life; much like Gwen, he had a hold on him in a way that he couldn't explain...

No. He wasn't using Ianto. He truly did love him... he completed him in ways that Gwen couldn't... and it was more than sex. It was as though the two of them had their lassoes around his heart... yet he didn't feel torn. His heart belonged to both of them and whether they knew that or not was irrelevant. Even though Gwen was married, in some way, she belonged to him. In his heart, she was his and Ianto was his in all other ways that a lover could be. He had Gwen once, he had her for a brief, passion filled moment, but he had Ianto for the rest. He knew the man was up to the challenge. There wasn't a need for words - Jack knew how Ianto felt.

Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: ~ 3,339
Warnings: Abuse (verbal), Violence
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I've actually never read a fic with this setting. I was still in a bad mood and as much as I like Owen at times, he was being a prat and just a plain bastard... Anyway, Owen discovers Janto's relationship and goes crazy blaming Ianto and Jack defends Ianto and tells Owen to stuff-it... in many more words...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Owen glared... then took a step towards Ianto and hissed, ”I knew you were trouble!... knew you couldn’t be trusted... You’re pathetic... shagging the boss to get what you want! Really is there nothing you won’t do...”

... Jack placed himself between... yelling, “Owen... ENOUGH!” ... Without warning... punched him in the face...

"... What’s so special about him?” murmured Owen “He’s just a casual shag... an easy body while you wait. Isn’t that what you always say? That it never means anything… Isn’t that what you said to me?”

Jack gave a half laugh snapping bitterly, “You still going on about?! That was a one off... I was blind drunk and so were you. Trust me there was never going to be anything between us... it was nothing more than a drunken mistake. But Ianto,” Jack’s smile increased, lighting up his whole face... “Oh but with Ianto it’s so much more... so much more than you could even imagine..."

REC: THESE FIVE KISSES by EXILEONMAIN

[itoshii-chan.livejournal.com]

Title: These Five Kisses
Author: exileonmain
Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Romance
Rating: PG-13
Other/Implied Pairings: implied: Jack/Jack, Jack/Gwen
Summary: The things Jack remembers when he dies.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: ~ 850
Warnings: set during Torchwood 2x01 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," Character death (temporary)
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh this is bittersweet, but more towards the sweet side! Jack's thoughts while reviving after John throws him off the building and leaves. Through the blackness of death and memories, Jack's only peace and comfort comes from remembering kisses made memorable by extraordinary people! :)

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Twenty minutes. Give or take.

The process of his body putting itself back together after he died takes twenty minutes depending on how he died. There was rarely any peace anymore when he died. There was black and memories that taunted him from afar, but peace was a thing of the past...

He saw many things in the blank time that he was dead. Sometimes he saw memories... The second the bones started to sync together, the muscles stretched back into place, he was remembering kisses. None were particularly special to the naked eye, but perhaps it wasn't the kisses themselves that were memorable, moreover the people he shared them with.
