Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh GOD! SO MANY ANGSTY FICS! T____T But, there’s hope yet since this fic starts out angsty, but ends on a hopeful tone (if one doesn’t think about all that happens the rest of S1, anyway… *coughs*). So, this is the author’s take on how Janto relationship changed through the course of S1 (atleast until after “Countrycide”).

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack had never felt as used as he had in the beginning of his relationship with Ianto. The occasional shag without any promise of a repeat, with absolutely no emotional attachment.

Of course, he didn’t realise why until later, and by the time he did, he didn’t begrudge Ianto because of it. The young man had been in emotional turmoil - every second of the day that he was alive and sane was a blessing. His mind tore him in two and his heart just made the fight worse.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: A gorgeous fic dealing with a beautifully broken!Jack. His feelings for Ianto, his denial, and finally his acceptance just when things are about to go out of control is so realistic and so wonderfully written! *__* I’m just so glad it’s a happy ending!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

There was fire. And screaming. And blood… oh god, so much blood. And he didn’t know what to do... he was supposed to do something but... he just didn’t know what… ‘Doctor!’ he screamed... Why wasn’t the Doctor here... helping? ... But he didn’t care. He didn’t want the Doctor near him. He wanted… something. It was lurking on the very edge of his mind, hazy... like a mirage. Taunting him to just reach out and… latch onto it.

Strong warm arms around him, a strange accent murmuring sweet nothings in his ear.

This is what he wanted. Or rather, who… His mind couldn’t even grasp who it was, and yet it was all he could think about. It was all that was keeping his brain from taking in the extreme direness of the situation, the horror of what was happening around him. All that was keeping him grounded, keeping him sane.

All that was saving him.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Ooooh! Another mpreg fic to add to our wonderful collection! But since Jack's involved, things aren't always what they seem and everyone is in for a heck of a surprise! ^^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto Jones could count the times he had seen Jack Harkness being nervous and uncertain on his hand... That was over the course of five years. Earlier that afternoon was the fourth time when Jack asked Ianto if they could go out for dinner that night...

“So what’s going on, Jack?”

“Well… I need to talk to you... but... I don’t know how to start.”

“Just say it.”

“Ah shit,” Jack mumbled under his breath. “Okay. Fine... Remember that I told you I was pregnant before?”

Ianto nodded… Jack stared into Ianto’s eyes, forcing himself not to look away... “Ianto, I’m pregnant.”

Ianto’s jaw dropped.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Thrice Blessed and a totally cute fic. Jack’s three weeks from giving birth and his forgetfulness is getting worse by the second. And while Ianto’s stuck catering to our beloved Captain’s wishes, Gwen is enjoying his predicament.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

“Ianto!” came the yell from Jack’s office.

Ianto rolled his eyes... “I believe it’s your turn to cater our fine Captain,” Ianto commented dryly, glaring at Gwen.

“Oh no. Not me. I know why the others are so eager to spend more time out on the field,” Gwen stated. “’Cause if I could, I would.” She smirked up at Ianto, while leaning back in her seat.

Ianto glared at her... “You promised you’d help me,” Ianto pointed out to Gwen.

“The way I figure it,” Gwen replied, “it’s all your fault anyway...”

“It’s never my fault,” Ianto huffily insisted.

Gwen smirked up at him. “Yeah. I suppose Jack got himself up the duff.”

“Jack initiated that time, yes. So it is his fault.”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Well, I do very much like fics where my OTPs are emotionally tortured, so this fic fits the bill! This is an emotionally tortured!Ianto fic that is just so beautifully written. It goes something like... Ianto loves Jack but realizes that Jack doesn't, he and Martha go on a vacation for three weeks where he spills his beans to her, Martha gives sound advise and concocts a plan, they come back with a changed Ianto, but...

*cheeky grin*

Rating: R
Other/Implied Pairings: N/A
Summary: “When Ianto Jones fell through the Rift during a negative spike in activity, Captain Jack Harkness knew he had to get him back.”
Status: Work In Progress
Length: Multi-chapter / 5 TOTAL
Word Count: TBC
Warnings: spoilers for and post-Torchwood 2x11 "Adrift," Violence, Self-harm
Comment or Excerpt from fic: WHOA! The title shoulda given it away, but I was quite ignorant and it made me go, "HOLY SHIT! O_____O" So, Ianto becomes a victim of the rift and upon his return, he seems more normal than any of the previously known victims. But this normalcy hides a secret that is uncovered when Gwen is hurt and now Ianto is as abnormal as they come.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

When Ianto Jones fell through the Rift during a negative spike in activity, Captain Jack Harkness knew he had to get him back. Not because he was his lover, but because he didn’t want him to end up lost forever among the stars. He had to find a way to get him back before it was too late. No one deserved that fate.

But without a trail to follow, finding him was near to impossible. Three months passed without a lead to go on, and the team lost hope. Jack, forever the optimist, kept Ianto’s coffee mug and personnel information in the computer as an active member, even though he knew if Ianto came back after that long he probably wouldn’t be the same.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: So much happening and so many emotions - what a ride! This is a fast-paced and plotty fic where Ianto's kidnapped by someone and surprisingly, it's not anyone from Jack's past for once. Hurt!Ianto and angry!Jack are a given, but Tosh has an important role and is on the forefront (FINALLY!). So it's a race against time to find Ianto and save him, but unfortunately, the demand is for something that Jack doesn't have anymore.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The waterfront restaurant was the ideal place for a date, a fact that hadn’t gone unnoticed if the happy couples crowded inside were anything to go by... and he knew that they were watching him... For all of them, however, the situation was perfectly clear: Captain Jack Harkness, intergalactic Casanova, had been stood up. It certainly wasn’t the first time... but Jack had never expected Ianto to punish him, humiliate him, quite so publicly... Jack would have never called Ianto... cruel... He... pulled his greatcoat on, already striding... in the direction of Ianto’s house. He wanted answers and... he wasn’t prepared to leave Ianto alone until he had them...

Jack... hammered on Ianto’s front door... not caring that he was making a scene... until it occurred to him that Ianto’s silence was uncharacteristic... The spark of worry flared into a flame and he began to dig around in his pocket for the bunch of keys... He stepped into the hall, eyes widening in horror as he looked around.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh Ria's got another fic cooking! ^___^ So, post-"Exit Wounds" and John's joined the team along with another character (OC). But after a field mission gone bad, Jack realizes that there is no other choice but to hire a medic, in turn replacing Owen's place at Torchwood. But just when they are getting back on track, things turn from bad to worse for Ianto when more than one tragedy hits his family and his carefully built, fragile walls crumble around him.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack shook his head as he watched Gwen and John supporting Ianto into the autopsy bay. From what he had gathered, while he had gone out to... capture a rogue Weevil... Ianto and Gwen had been called out to answer a call... It had sounded like a relatively simple job... A simple clean-up operation. Unfortunately, the intelligence they had received had not been entirely accurate... and... one Blowfish had quickly become five, two of which were severely intoxicated... and, just to make things even better, they had been taking hostages.

Luckily, John had been at the Hub on standby and had been able to get to them fairly quickly once had had learned the gravity of the situation... but... If those aliens had killed anyone...if they had hurt Ianto any more than he already was...just the thought made Jack shudder in anger. But... what the incident had also done was bring home an important truth - something that Jack knew he had been putting off for far too long.
