EXCERPT:

Jack walked purposefully... to where Tosh had picked up the ship... Hopefully this would be... a quick and easy job that got him back to the Hub as quickly as possible so that he could work his way through the list of ‘Reasons why staying in is much more fun than going to a poncy restaurant.’.. As transporters went, it was quite a smooth one, just a brief feeling like walking through four-dimensional custard and the field vanished...

Ianto had taken off his jacket... It was a shame about the date, but business before pleasure... He glanced back... to the comms scan running on the next monitor over. The four dots were flashing away merrily. He took another slice of pizza and promptly dropped it in his lap as one of the dots abruptly vanished from the screen.

“Bugger.” he whispered under his breath.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Usually, I try to avoid character cheating fics (unless I'm in a vindictive mood), but this fic has a twist in the sense that it's Jack and Ianto that cheat with each other on their fiancée/wife, so I'm all for it!

... Guess that makes me a hypocrite, but...! BUT...! It's JANTO!! And though I don't really have anything against Lisa, I DO dislike Gwen, so... *shrugs and grins*

EXCERPT:

Ianto Jones hated weddings... he... was gradually inching away from another hopeful young thing... when a distinctively dirty laugh from halfway across the room caught his attention.

Ianto never really noticed other men but it was hard to ignore this one. If his height and the confident swagger in his shoulders didn't set him apart, the American accent did. He was handsome... no doubt, but it was his eyes that Ianto noticed the most. Even from where he was standing, Ianto could see how startlingly blue they were.

And suddenly those blue eyes met his and it was all Ianto could do not to drop his drink and avert his gaze... Even though he was deeply embarrassed... tipped his glass in the other man’s direction and... allowed himself a smile of quiet satisfaction when he felt the American’s gaze bore into the back of his head.

Now if he could only stop his heart from pounding like a jackhammer. Fuck.
