Title: First Time for Everything
Author:  [livejournal.com profile] criccieth 
Genre:  backstory, angst, drama, ect
Rating:  NC-17
Summary: All relationships have their stages and their first moments
Status: Incomplete, looooong
Warnings: Sex, domestic abuse, suicide attempts
Comment: This isn't the sort of background I normally buy for Ianto, but the details and emotions are so vivid here that it's hard not to buy it. The story is shaping up to be complicated and full of interesting interactions between Jack and Ianto, some of which looks like it has/is going to involve a sort of time travel. Updates are long in coming, but seeing as the length of each section is ridiculous, I'm not going to complain too much.

Excerpt:
For two years Ianto has been doing his best to forget, to bury the memories. And now, if Harkness does turn out to want what Oliver wanted…It won’t be the same, he tells himself firmly. Won’t be trapped. Won’t be a prisoner this time. As soon as she’s better, we’ll leave. Slowly, his hands stop shaking. Lisa, he reminds himself. It’s for Lisa. Whatever it takes, remember? Doesn’t matter what it costs. You can handle it. It’s for her. But he feels so cold.

[identity profile] hanuueshe.livejournal.com

Title: Come Away, Oh Human Child
Author: sparking_off
Rating: T
Word count: ~9200 - split into two parts by LJ claiming it's too big. Sigh.
Timeline: Set during ‘Small Worlds’, no spoilers past that.
Characters: Ianto-centric, Jack/Ianto.
Summary: An alternative take on the events in ‘Small Worlds’, from the point of view of someone who knows the fairies intimately.

Title: The World’s More Full of Weeping
Author: sparking_off
Rating: K+
Word count: 5779
Timeline: Set in the time between ‘Greeks Bearing Gifts’ and ‘Out of Time’, although there’s no reference to ‘They Keep Killing Suzie’.
Characters: Ianto-centric, Jack/Ianto
Summary: Ten years after the death of Ianto’s mother, he returns to her childhood home to say goodbye and to be himself, away from the dangers and secrecy of Torchwood, and away from the confusion that is his relationship with Jack.

Commentary: The idea of Ianto as one of the fairies' Choosen Ones isn't something new in fandom. What is new is the idea of Ianto as a fairy- a fairy lord, even. sparking_off's Ianto is a comflicted fellow, stranding between two very different worlds, both a which are frightening in their own way, not in the least because he loves them both. The writing style itself is very subtle and soothing, and sometimes nonlinear as well, as Ianto deals with the effects of things which to the reader have no cause. If you're a fan of strong Ianto or romantic Janto, this is a story for you.

REC: JOHN ELLIS by FAJRDRAKO

Title: John Ellis
Author: [livejournal.com profile] fajrdrako

Other/Implied Pairings: Owen/Diane
Summary: John Ellis explores Torchwood.
Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot
Word Count: 1,406
Warnings: spoilers for Torchwood 1x10 “Out of Time,” Homophobia
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Well now, this is a bit different from the usually written fics based on TW episode 1x10 (Out of Time). Rather than being a coda, it takes place somewhere in the middle of the episode, most likely before John goes to see his aged son and loses all hope of fitting into this strange future. It is fully from John’s POV and his helplessness is already evident.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He wandered around the Hub, exploring. A severed hand: how disgusting. Many things he could not identify. Metal, stone, mysterious goo in glass dishes. A morgue, kept locked. Computers everywhere, but he couldn't see many books. How could they trust the computers? How could they give the machines such power over them? They didn't seem to notice, or care. There was too much glass - was it safe? How did they keep the place warm and lit? It must be a colossal use of power, of expenditure, of waste.

He was worrying too much, but he couldn't let go… He wandered on. He wanted to escape, but how can you escape a time? You can only escape a place. Everywhere he went, he was still caught in this inexplicable future.

He'd never thought it would be like this.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: WHOA! What a way to start a fic... BANG! The remaining TW team's on a mission when UNIT comes with guns blazing (and sticks up their rears) to ruin everything! But it is oh so amusing to see Jack rip a new into the UNIT commander, though! *glee* It sounds like James Bond, Torchwood style, so if all the violence, swearing, and sex that's being promised isn't incentive enough, then Jack and Ianto in tuxes should be! *drools*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The large doors blasted open, lights shone like a thousand suns and a terrible noise like a screaming banshee bore down on them. Gwen swore and threw herself backwards through the door as men in black uniforms rushed the area... A helicopter landed, cars drove up, and someone spoke in a bull horn. Somewhere, in her ear, Jack swore loud and colorfully... The aliens reached into the boxes and hauled out very big, very powerful guns. Gwen, realizing what was about to happen, threw herself onto the ground and curled into a small a ball as possible. The aliens fired. The weapons didn’t help. Sub machine guns rat-tat-tatted and gunned the aliens down instantly. Some of the bullets ripped through the door and hit the wall around Gwen. She shrieked, and in her ear both Ianto and Jack roared.

Everything went very quiet, save for the rotor blades of the helicopter...

Don't know where you get the ideas from Christine, but I hope you keep them coming! ^_____^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto was humming softly as he went about fixing... a coffee... sliding into his seat, he mindlessly picked up a small package that had been sitting there... Giving the thick envelope a gentle squeeze, he could feel... something... there. A box?... he tore at the opening... and let the contents slide into his waiting hand.

Ianto frowned as he looked down at the pack of cards before him. Tarot? Turning them over, he closely examined the pictures on the front... The images appeared to shift slightly, rearranging itself, settling into place... Each card was unique, unlike any Tarot deck he’d ever seen before. Pausing, he glanced over at the envelope. The... printing simply stated To Help You—no name... He didn’t remember actually picking this up... Shifting his gaze back to the cards, Ianto thought he saw something move again. There! The image... seemed to shimmer... Sucking in a short breath, Ianto realized it was the restaurant Jack and Gwen had gone to investigate.

REC: FOR BEING IANTO by CRIMSONBRIGHT

Status: COMPLETE
Length: One-shot / 2 TOTAL
Word Count: 1,826
Warnings: post: Torchwood S2 ("Exit Wounds"), implied Character deaths
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is mostly an angsty fic with a heavy dose of hurt/comfot, especially in the second part. We usually see Ianto taking care of Jack and Gwen post “Exit Wounds,” but this is just the opposite – Ianto on the brink and Gwen forcing Jack to acknowledge the fact that they need to hire more people before Ianto looses it.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

“Jack, I need to talk to you.”

Jack looked up from his paperwork as Gwen strode determinedly into his office... Ute-oh. She looks to be gearing up for a long one...

“We need help. We need to start thinking about…replacements,” she said, hesitant but no more determined.

Jack froze at those words. Replacements? Owen and Tosh? They could never be replaced. Even though he's thought of it, it felt slightly like betrayal. “We’re handling things well, Gwen. For the time being, we’re set. We don’t need anyone,” he said but a whisper in the back of his head called him on his denial.

“Jack! Open your eyes!” she... dragged him to the window... pointing below. “Look. Down there.”

Jack closed his eyes at the sight briefly, then forced himself to do as Gwen suggested.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack was bored.

In fact, he was more than bored, he was practically catatonic. He was also painfully aware that today was the day for stock taking – a day... on due to copious amounts of calls from Whitehall about expenses – and he hated it.

Ianto had already shoved a huge pile of paperwork... and he was almost three quarters of the way through.

It had taken him a good three hours to get that far.

If Ianto had been with him, he would’ve pointed out that Jack hadn’t actually spent two of those hours in his office, but the captain would’ve countered that it was still looming over him, so it still counted… Sadly, Ianto wasn’t up in the main area… so… the particularly amusing conversation that had panned out... hadn’t happened.

He sighed heavily and twisted his pen through his fingers, leaning his chin on his free hand.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Well, we move away from the angst-fest of the last few days to something more fluffy!... Well, fluffier than the previous ones. Fic based on the “Sleeper” episode from TW S2. Taking place from the moment Jack, Beth, and Gwen comeback after stopping the last sleeper agent at the military base and goes from there to post-“Sleeper.” Slightly angst, but it’s fluffy and romantic with a dash of Gwen-bashing and a whole lotta smut! *grins*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto pulled the SUV door open, catching Jack’s limp body... and… debated what to do. Jack needed to be comfortable but there was no way to carry him down to his bunker. Unbuckling Jack’s seatbelt, he lifted... to get Jack stretched out across the back seat. The greatcoat had a tear... but nothing he couldn’t fix. He took off the greatcoat, tossing it over the front seat and cursed. Jack’s light blue shirt was blood soaked.

He shook his head. “You covered it with your coat, you twpsyn, why didn’t you let me know?” he muttered. He deftly undid the buttons of Jack’s shirt, revealing the blood soaked undershirt and a gaping wound... He lifted Jack’s head and slid into the seat, cradling him in his lap... “I wish you would’ve told me, we could’ve talked on the comms. You know I hate when you die on your own... But I’m here now...”

A few minutes passed and the silence was deafening.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I do so adore fics where Janto are doing something domestic and this is no different! And the images of Ianto trying on a new suit is just a bonus! *grins*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto glanced around... instinctively looking for Jack. The Captain had opted to wait outside the shop, already bored by shopping, as Ianto had known he would be. Quite why Jack had wanted to come in the first place had confused Ianto, but he wasn’t one to argue when Jack wanted to spend time with him.

He spotted Jack a couple of shops away, hands in his pockets, head tilted to one side, as if he was contemplating something in one of the windows. Smiling to himself, he shifted the weight of the shopping bags in his hands and went to stand beside Jack.

There was a sarcastic quip on his lips as he approached, but it was forgotten as he saw what Jack was staring at. A three-piece suit hung on one of the mannequins, black, with a crimson lining that matched the tie knotted around the neck. It was a well-tailored suit and Ianto was certain that it would have a price tag to reflect that.

He remembered their vacation to England, long ago... Now two years later... Dee balked when the UK came up again... and... As Dee lay in the bed... he cursed that he still could not shake the feeling of something about to go horribly wrong.

FINALLY! *rolls eyes**grins*

EXCERPT:

“Jack?” Ianto called, none of the alarm he felt showing in his voice. The gun held firmly in both hands, however suggested otherwise.

“What’s up?” Jack called back...

“Can you come here please. Sir.” Ianto replied just as calmly

That got Jack’s attention. While he sighed in frustration at Ianto’s continued use of the damn ‘sir’ thing he’d never heard it inflected in quiet that way before. Frowning he left his paper work, secretly hoping it didn’t breed... and... multiply on im. He was already half convinced Ianto must have a bloody breeding program hidden in the archives somewhere... and clattered down the steps to the main part of the Hub.

He froze at the sight that greeted him... He freaking hated Monday’s...

EXCERPT:

Jack was sat on Ianto’s... couch, Ianto’s head in his lap as Jack lavished attention on him. He was doing ordinary Friday night couple-y things and for once Jack had no desire for excitement and adventure. He found some days he craved this... the mundane... He loved the excitement... the thrill... the running... But... that wasn’t enough anymore, and he realised something quite suddenly.

“When did we become something more than a quick fumble in row M of the archives?” Jack mused aloud. He waited... watching the steady rise and fall of Ianto’s chest… “Oh, Ianto Jones.” Jack sighed wistfully… “Some days I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Jack smiled fondly… gaze… solely on Ianto… “That’s what I love about you... You’re always there no matter what... You make everything more bearable... by just being you... You make forever more bearable… I’m a changed man because of you Ianto Jones... Changed for the better.”

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.

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:

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: Another hurt!Ianto fic that brings Ianto’s mortality to the forefront. *sniffles* Ianto’s not dead yet and I’m already bawling my eyes out!

~*~*~*~*~

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: 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: I’ll take this as my reward after finishing my school work! *laughs* I concede that Ianto can mentally torture Jack, whether it’s by wearing the Cute Suit or tight jeans, but it’s just as fun to see the reverse of this because it is just so hard to up Ianto most of the time and seeing him paranoid just makes me giggle like crazy!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto eyed the far too innocent expression on Jack’s face warily from the other side of the Hub, having decided he wasn’t getting any closer... than this. Whatever Jack was up to it never... boded well for Ianto... Last time Jack got that look... Ianto hadn’t been able to walk... never mind thinking clearly for the rest of the day.

Jack gazed... at Ianto, the most innocent expression he could manage plastered on his face, knowing full well it would have his lover on edge. That Jack wasn’t actually up to anything was utterly irrelevant. He loved winding Ianto up... It was almost more fun than actually being up to something.

Of course being up to something was a hell of a lot of fun too. Jack smiled indulgently... leaving a bemused Ianto tense and waiting for the shoe to drop, although since it was Jack it’d be more like a bomb. A shoe just wasn’t a big enough statement for Captain Jack Harkness, Ianto conceded to himself.
