EXCERPT:

In his office Jack looked up wondering were both Ianto and his coffee were. Setting his pen down, he hit his comm. link and whined playfully, “Iiiiiaaaantoooo, Where are you? Where’s my coffee?”

There was no reply.

Jack called again this time sounding vaguely pathetic

“I’m a little preoccupied, Sir. I’ll be with you in a moment,” soothed Ianto the soft voice going someway to calm Jack down.

But Jack being Jack wasn’t satisfied. Leaning back in his chair he asked petulantly, “What’s more important than sharing a coffee with me?”… Pushing himself up and out of his chair, he wandered across to the door and pulled it open. He froze, staring in disbelief at the sight that greeted him.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Magic Hands. Talk about sensory overload. Not only does Ianto get his wish, but so does Jack.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack slowly raised his eyes and holding Ianto’s gaze, he asked softly, “Is this what you want?”

Ianto didn’t answer. He didn’t dare trust his voice. He’d wanted this for so long, had wanted to feel something other than pure raw sex. Ianto knew he would never willingly admit that what he longed for was the softer things, the simple things such as cuddling and snuggling. He knew he’d never ask for it, not now and certainly not from Jack. He’d made that mistake once before... only to be laughed at... ridiculed for wanting such... things. So he stayed quiet, his body tense... He was standing still as if afraid that one movement would ruin the moment.

“Ianto,” breathed Jack, “Answer me. Is this what you really want from me?”

Ianto nodded, almost sadly as if expecting the spell to be broken.

To his surprise Jack smiled – a soft warm smile that lit up the older man’s eyes…

Comment or Excerpt from fic: It's "The Little Mermaid" Torchwood style, so what's not to like?! ^__^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Even though he was the prettiest, Ianto was a strange child, quiet and thoughtful. When he and his sisters explored the many wrecked ships that lay on the bottom of the ocean, he took no notice of all the wonderful treasures his sisters took great delight in. He cared little for such things.

Only once did he find something which he kept in his garden outside the castle. It was a statue of a young man, carved out in white marble. Ianto had placed the statue next to a rose-colored weeping willow. He would often sit in his garden, staring at the marble statue and dream of the wonderful world the young man lived in.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one of the most gorgeously written fics that I've ever had the pleasure to read... and believe me, I've read a LOT! Taking place slightly before "Exit Wounds," but post-2x09 "Something Borrowed," it starts off with Ianto's body carrying a "foreign entity" (*coughBABYcough*) and what follows are a series of events that're nothing like any mpreg fics I've ever read! Very unexpected! And the twists and turns in this fic just keep you at the edge of your seat!

*starry eyed* I'm in absolute AWE!!

*_______________________________________________________*

I don't have the slightest clue how else to explain this fic other than to urge you to read it yourself, so GO READ!!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto... froze at the unmistakable sound of Jack's revolver cocking behind him... Ianto slowly raised both hands... and... slowly turned... to look up at Jack... "Jack... What..." What did I do...

"We're not going to hurt you," Jack said... "... You're showing up funny on the scanners, and we need to figure out what's going on before it takes you over or kills you..."

Owen... pointed a hand-held scanner at Ianto's chest, sweeping it slowly downward... "Damn... Definitely something alive in there--pretty small, though. Get it with the singularity scalpel, no trouble..." Owen let out a strange noise then, staring at the scanner... "Haven't seen one... in a long while, but... Homo sap, I reckon."

Ianto blinked at it. "It's human?"

"It's a baby..."

Warnings: spoilers until and post-Torchwood 1x06 "Countrycide," implied: Violence, Abuse (physical), Torture, Non-Con
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Fic dealing with the aftermath of Countrycide when Ianto is forgotten and things are worst than before with the added threat of past betrayal. This fic is an emotional ride where Ianto's past and some hidden secrets are brought into light, but it ends on a hopeful note.

Bear the warnings in mind for some disturbing imagery and implications.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto took a few minutes to sit by himself... Anyone observing him would have seen the swollen black eye, the bleeding cuts... A closer observer would have noticed the quick, shallow breathing... glazed eyes... the occasional shaking... Ianto, however, was practically invisible. It was a trait taught to him at his father’s knee... and... little Ianto would learn to internalize life... as... He quickly learned that by becoming invisible he could escape the bruises... bloody noses and the burns... At times like this, though, he wasn’t sure if he liked being invisible.

Being invisible today meant that he was ignored. In one respect that was good... It also meant, though, that everyone had apparently forgotten that mere hours ago he had almost joined the ranks of the fillet-ed... Ianto... broke through his... reverie. Slowly standing, all sound was cut off by the feeling of blood rushing in his ears. He steadied himself against the nearest tree, bracing himself... And that’s when the black spots came back again.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Forgotten (recced at the top). The first half of this fic deals with Ianto/Tosh friendship that has been developing since the last fic and in the latter half, we have Jack trying to bring Ianto into the team by taking him to a UNIT conference on a mission to retrieve alien tech. Ianto is more assertive and so kick-ass in this fic, a total 180 from the submissive and passive Ianto of before. And Ianto/Tosh friendship is just so heartwarming!

Bear the warnings in mind.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

After Jack sent Mary to the sun, Ianto was left to interview Tosh. He was quiet, and considerate, rubbing her back as she cried and somehow coming up with an endless supply of tissues. He was kind, but thorough, the only one of the team not to blame Tosh for her indiscretion. Tosh was still raw, Ianto could see that; he knew the rawness, knew how it could eat at your soul... He’d remembered...

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I can't believe I didn't rec this fic before! U.U Canon upto TW 1x04 "Cyberwoman" and then it's takes a whole another turn centered on Ianto and in turn, his relationship with Jack. Most likely a crap explanation, but the fic's a MUST READ!!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto Jones began his fascination with time at an early age... It all really began with his mam. She was forever telling him to count things and she taught him many of life’s important lessons in this way...

It was only a fortnight after that conversation that his tad was killed by a hit and run driver. Ianto thought it a bit odd that instead of staying around for the funeral his mam insisted that they pack all their essential belongings... and depart... that very afternoon. That evening found them... in a... single room in the B&B. Ianto had never seen her look so pale before... sparkle... gone out of her eyes... her body... stiff and unyielding...

When he woke up the next morning she was gone. Only one of the suitcases was left; the one with Ianto’s things in it. There was in addition, a small package wrapped in brown paper tied with string and a letter addressed to him in his mam’s handwriting. The rest of the room was as empty as his heart.

Status: COMPLETE

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Totally Ianto's POV, it shows his feelings about Jack leaving and his inability to let him go and finally his acceptance. It's an emotional fic that shows Ianto's growth as a person and this growth is shown via Ianto's acceptance of Jack only after he proves himself.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Over the few months Jack had been gone, Ianto had learnt a lot about himself, as both a Torchwood employee and a person outside of work... Being left without Jack showed him how strong willed he was. He couldn’t deny how much the knowledge of being left behind had hurt. But after several hours of crying seemingly endless tears, the tiny droplets of salt turned into dust and he knew he was through crying over Jack Harkness.

He wasn’t the first man to be left by a lover, and he knew he wouldn’t be the last. In the days that had followed Ianto had been reminded of a phrase his mother had told... "No man is worth crying over."

The words had stung at the time – being male, they had actually wounded his pride – but years later they seemed to make sense. While they hadn’t been directed at him, the same maxim applied. There was no use crying over someone who wasn’t there to see the tears and realise the pain they had inflicted.
