~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

"You know, we really dodged a bullet today," mumbled Ianto... He was lying... down, head pillowed on Jack's chest... He felt the sharp intake of breath even as Jack's arms tightened around him, almost painful in their grip.

"Don't say things like that."

"... It's true. I could have died... today... And it made me realize that there are some things I need to say..."

"No," said Jack, "We are not having this conversation, not now." A finger on his lips silenced him.

"It's been empirically proven that ignoring an issue is not a successful method of ensuring its failure to occur. Conversely, discussing the matter is not going to make it happen any sooner... Jack, one day I'm going to die, and for a few minutes back there, I thought it was going to be this day. And… All I could think about was how I was going to be leaving you behind with so much unsaid."

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I’m sure there are a few Janto crazy people out there that wish that “KKBB” went a tad bit differently - *coughespeciallyJackandGwenscenecough*. So, imagine my happiness when I could add another version of canon KKBB to my collection! A little angst & hurt/comfort, some Gwen-bashing mixed together and topped with a nice dose of romance and smut! ^_________^

EXCERPT:

Jack Harkness had never been categorized as a coward before. He’d sometimes been selfish, almost certainly been vengeful - for those who deserved it. You could also say he’s been downright cruel at times but he’d never been as cowardly as he was right now.

Hey, kids. Did you miss me?

Silence... His team said nothing, just looked at him, various expressions of shock on their faces. Except for one.

No, Ianto had always been very careful at keeping his emotions in check. Something came into his eyes... but before Jack could decipher it, it was gone. Jack kept his grin firmly in place, not letting the fact that his heart was doing flip-flops at the bottom of his stomach... He could deal with their anger over leaving them without a word... deal with their rejection even…all but one.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Talk about a doozy of a title; it didn't let me put the whole thing in! *pouts* Anyway, the summary is self-explanatory, really. Regardless of the outcome, it guarantees us Janto smut, so YAY! *grins*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto jumped slightly when he heard the door to his flat open unexpectedly... Relief washed over him as he recognised the familiar sound of heavy boots being kicked off by the door. He let out a small chuckle... He held his book still as he listened to Jack’s footsteps pad through to the living room, pause, and return to the hall.

“Ianto?” he heard the familiar voice call... The bathroom door pushed open to reveal Jack smiling the patented Harkness grin... “... And look how I’ve found you! What you up to all wet and naked in there, Mr Jones?”

Ianto rolled his eyes and set his book on the floor beside of the bath until he got some peace and quiet... “Clearly, I’m taking a bath, Jack...” Ianto sighed, and not the good kind of sigh that he usually found escaping his lips when content in a warm bath, “... I’m trying to relax.”

Jack’s face broke into a grin.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

“IANTO!!!”

The scream echoed round the small chamber that passed for Jack’s bedroom. Looking up from where he was currently dressing – in the process of fastening his tie - Ianto quirked an eyebrow and sauntered over to the door that led to the small bathroom.

Leaning against the doorframe, he asked dryly, “You yelled?”

“Look!” exclaimed Jack turning round to at him, “Look!” he pointed...

When Ianto just looked blankly... for a moment then burst out laughing.
