Title: Going Back
Author: winterkill
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Romance
Rating: PG, I think
Summary: Set after S1 (and hence spoilers for S1 and AU for season 2), the team survive by the skin of their teeth. But something inexplicable has happened between Owen and Ianto, and when Jack returns, he has to reassert himself as the alpha male.
Status: Incomplete, but recently updated
Length: 4 chapters so far
Warnings: None that I can think of. Slight violence.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a beautiful, beautiful story. There is, I'll admit, a lot of focus on Owen and Ianto's friendship, and Jack doesn't come back til the second part, but then it explores the effects of Jack leaving - and returning - on Ianto (and they're very in love and it's beautiful). It also explores the team dynamic in a really interesting way. Poor, sweet Ianto! It's a different take on the Jack!returning fic; it doesn't rely on the usual plot devices. Ianto is strong but recovering from physical trauma and the team takes care of him and it's incredibly sweet and a bit heartbreaking in the best way.
Excerpt: “What Owen is trying to say is that you treated all of us like shit running off with the Doctor like that,” added Gwen, her voice low and furious. “And if you don’t take Ianto and adore him, and make this up to him after all he’s been through, then I’ll rip your bloody arms off.”
