Comment or Excerpt from fic:

Jack folded his arms and pouted. "I haven't been on a picnic in years. Nothing beats eating in the open air while connecting with Mother Nature."

"Sir, we're in the middle of Cardiff and it's mid-November."

"We can drive outside Cardiff and the weather's been fine and clear for the last week," Jack shot back.

"We haven't tried going on a picnic for the last week," Ianto retorted.

"Well we're going on one now, Mr Jones, so make some sandwiches and a thermos of coffee!" Heroically resisting the urge to stick his tongue out, Jack turned on his heel and made a suitably dramatic exit.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Perfect Post-Exit Wounds fic that deals with Ianto's grief and how he deals with what happened, and how he has to take care of Jack and Gwen. Very raw and honest and beautiful and it made me cry. :(
___________________________________

Jack takes the coffee mug (black and strong) from your hand like it’s any other morning, but he lets his fingers brush against yours and there’s a look of hollow-eyed gratitude on his face. Gwen comes in a little later, pale and bruised around the eyes, and when you hand over her cup (milk, one sugar) she looks like she’s about to start crying again.

But you have no time for tears. You have damage control to do. Gwen goes off to the police station, Jack to God knows where. You stay in the Hub to monitor the Rift activity and repair the damage Gray and John did to the equipment.

It’s like any other day and when you find the coffee mug Tosh left on her desk the day before yesterday you just take it away, wash it out and put it back on the shelf with the others, not even reflecting over the fact that this was the last thing her lips touched.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Ianto's insight amuses me. Fantastic fic, really. Words don't do it justice. :3 I laughed at Ianto's POV then I drooled over the sex bit. Sexy and yet amusing, that's what it is. :D
_____________________________________________
The hardest part, of course, was reconciling his dreams and fantasies with his life. Prior to When Ianto's Life Decided To Just Fuck Off In It's Own Direction (as Ianto liked to call the rather horrible demise of his beloved Lisa), Ianto just explained it away as the byproduct of stress of caring for a half cyborg-half woman, keeping her hidden, and remaining in constant contact with Jack. Anyone of those surely would result in problem's at home, of a sort, or you know, having fantasies about the Boss that Ianto doubted would be even in his Aunt Bedilia's favorite bodice ripper (much to his horror).

Some of his fantasies had even gone so far as to add in words of compassion and longing that seemed to be misquoted out of some Austenian novel, complete with Ianto ending up sobbing in Jack's arms or else swooning into them upon Jack's declaration of undying devotion. None of which Ianto had allowed to exist.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Post-Fragments fic where Gwen walks in on them, AGAIN, and gets a surprise when she sees just how much Jack cares about Ianto. I'm surprised this one hasn't been recced before since it's such a lovely fic.
___________________________________________________

Stops dead with her body frozen and her face burning, afraid to move because this time she can't just laugh and announce her presence; she knows she isn't supposed to see this. No one is supposed to see this... stillness, in the sprawl of pale skin over gold, with Ianto's dark hair tucked under Jack's chin, his eyes closed as Jack stares at the ceiling. Long seconds pass while she holds her breath, finally taking a slow inhalation when she realizes that they have no idea she's there.

Unbelievable that they're so unaware. Idiotic, really -- they should know better and she should just stand up and back away but... she can't. She can't take her eyes off the light touch of Jack's fingers over Ianto's skin, a hypnotic caress that carefully avoids the bulky white bandages, and for a moment it's like she can feel that touch herself.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Lovely Post-Countryside fic where Jack takes care of a distraught Ianto.
_______________________________________
Jack slowed the car down a bit and stretched his left arm back to pat Ianto reassuringly on the leg. The second he made contact with Ianto's body the other man jerked away with a strangled scream and kicked out. Jack was so surprised he snatched the wheel and had a hard time to steady the car again.

Ianto was still screaming and had scrambled back to the far corner of the car. His gaze was unfocused, he was trembling and when Jack hit the brakes and the car came to a sliding stop, Ianto opened the door and tumbled out of the car.

"Ianto!" Jack shouted and hurried to undo his seatbelt.

When Jack got out of the car, Ianto had already run half way across the field that lay next to the street. Not making one mistake twice, Jack shut the door of the SUV and locked it, before he set after him.

"Ianto!" He shouted again, but got no response.

He likes a good red wine though, a Syrah if Ianto’s going to buy some for him. Which Ianto does often.

Ianto won’t lie. He likes Merlot much better but it’s worth it to buy the kind of wine Jack likes because then Jack drinks it, and if Ianto’s really lucky, Jack might get drunk and end up just like this: melted across the length of Ianto's couch, grinning, content to let Gwen and Owen field any Torchwood stuff tonight, and playing with his words.

"Ianto," Jack murmurs, three-quarters of the bottle in, his eyes dark and his mouth soft. It comes out more like, Yantoe, instead of his usual, Yahnto. When he flattens the sound out, it sounds silly enough that Ianto has to laugh and come close enough to kiss him.

_____________________________
Picking his way through the usually immaculate room, Jack stood next to the couch looking down at Ianto.  His face was relaxed in sleep, his mouth slightly open, snoring softly.  The jeans that covered his long legs were faded and worn in all the right places.  The shirt he was wearing was wrinkled and unbuttoned just enough to show a beaded necklace and the shadow of hair that lightly covered Ianto's firm chest.  It was times like this that reminded Jack of exactly how young Ianto actually was.  Watching him move about the Hub in his three-piece suits, confidently doing any job requested of him, it was easy to forget he was only twenty-five.
Ianto shifted slightly in his sleep, a small frown crossing his face.  Jack knew the way he was sleeping couldn't be comfortable.  He bent down and carefully lifted Ianto into his arms, smiling when Ianto snuggled into his embrace, his face nuzzling into the curve where Jack's neck met his shoulder.

Title: Training
Author: [personal profile] crabby_lioness
Genre: Drama, Angst, Romance
Rating: R-rated
Summary: Ianto mourns Lisa while Jack begins a slow, subtle seduction with the help of a vintage military training manual.
Status: Work In Progress
Length: 5 Parts so far
Warnings: Spoilers through Countrycide
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Really love training fics, and this one is no exception. Basically, after Cyberwoman, Jack realizes that Ianto is one person he should definitely have on his side and how much of an asset he could be so he decides to train him and stuff (and basically all of this is a cover for his real motivation: wanting to seduce Ianto.) Link takes you to the Prologue, which is called Damages.
___________________________
And Ianto's loyalty to Lisa. It had been decades since he had seen devotion like that! Did the man have any idea how rare it was? Sure it had been misguided, and Ianto now hated his guts, but Jack could work with that. Ianto still wanted to work for Torchwood. Give him time to calm down and then slowly, subtly redirect that loyalty towards Torchwood and Jack. Give him a new direction for all that passion and a second chance to prove himself worthy, and Ianto could make a superb castellan. Then it would be look out world, here comes Torchwood!

It would be disastrous to even hint at those plans now. Now was the time to look furious, which wasn't hard because he really was furious about the debacle. Later on when Ianto began to get over the shock, he could appear to relent and begin to plant the seeds of Ianto's seduction. A good con is all about timing.

Looks, brains, and unswerving loyalty? Oh yeah, Jack Harkness was having all of that.

Length: Oneshot
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a great team-bonding fic, and I loved how everyone is interacting, and how Gwen is happy for Jack and Ianto. :) (And I LOLed when Jack got the shivers when he thought about Tosh and Ianto trying to take over the word.) It's also very romantic in the sense that Ianto has PDAs with Jack and how he doesn't want to hide what they are anymore. AND Ianto is such a control freak.
____________________________
"Oh, come on, it'll be fun!"  Gwen exclaimed.
Ianto made a frustrated noise in his throat, and grumbled, "Gwen, the last person I snogged was Jack, Truth or Dare doesn't really work in a moving vehicle, we don't have any alcohol for I Never (and Jack always wins that one anyway), Jack's driving too bloody fast to play I Spy and I'm not wearing any underwear so there's no point in trying to guess the color.  Jack, keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel!"
The girls both squealed as the SUV momentarily swerved into the other lane and Owen yelled, "Shit, Ianto, are you trying to get us all killed?"
"What are you complaining about, Owen?  You're already dead."
"Yeah, but I'd like to keep my undead body more or less intact!"  Owen groused.  "Talk about pictures I'd like to retcon out of my brain."

"I'm still back here, you know," he croaks at Jack, who is busying himself with something in the front. "I don't think I can drive home by myself."

Jack clucks softly, saying "I didn't forget about you. I need to be here in the morning though, since I told the others to take the day off."

Ianto tries to frown, but his face is too swollen in odd places for it to have the proper effect. "I still need to get home."

"You'll stay here, where I can keep an eye on you." Jack pauses a moment. "I can't take back the beating they gave you, but I can damned well make sure you don't slip into a coma from that concussion you've got. Thick skull or not, Ianto Jones, I don't want an argument."

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Because protective and friendly Owen is always a plus for me, especially when he's protective of Ianto. :) (And I also love fics that take place after/during that scene gar!)
_____________________________________
As Ianto takes Jack’s hand and moves into his arms, it becomes quite obvious Jack’s mind – and heart – aren’t really into it. Were he anyone else he probably wouldn’t have noticed in the first place, but he’s danced with Jack before and this right here isn’t dancing *with* Jack. Because Jack has a way of making you feel special, cherished, like you’re the only one that matters when you’re in his arms – or at least that’s how it felt to Ianto last time – and at this very moment Ianto feels anything but.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what – and who – Jack is thinking about. That, in turn, makes Ianto dwell on a subject he usually avoids contemplating, because he may have come into this relationship with his eyes wide open he hadn’t quite thought he would up against *this*.

Because I think Jack was so adorable in wanting to get some time away with Ianto and pretending to be on a mission. :D And to a spa no less. :)

“Are you joking?” Gwen finally asked, and Ianto felt just the smallest flicker of amusement over the sharp note in her voice. This wasn’t pleasing Ms Cooper, no, not at all.

“Why would I be joking?” Jack looked genuinely perplexed. “We need to find out if this place is being run by aliens and the quickest way to do that is get inside and look around. Last time I looked, being a guest at a spa is a good way to get inside a spa.”

“Yes,” Gwen said, “but you and Ianto? Wouldn’t it attract less attention if it was a man and a woman?”

Like you and Owen? Ianto thought silently, then dismissed the idea. No, he had the distinct impression that Gwen had assumed that it would be her and Jack. He quashed the spurt of jealousy and made certain that his expression remained its most blandly impassive.

________________________________________
"...which brings us to stationary supply orders..."

Ianto flicks his tongue against his thumb in order to better nudge over to the next page of his papers. Jack swallows dryly and becomes determined. Desperate times call for desperate measures and as long as the archivist is sitting there being sex personified, Jack is a desperate man. He takes his coffee-damp finger and reaches it towards Ianto's wrist. A perfectly starched three quarters of an inch of light gray shirtsleeve extends past Ianto's jacket and brushes the base of his hand. Pressing firmly, Jack leaves a neat fingerprint stain in medium roast blend on the top of Ianto’s wrist, on the near inch of light fabric.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: So during a weevil-hunt with Ianto, Jack loses his memory. I really like how Jack is described as very innocent-looking and child-like. :P Though he's still a pervert who likes to feel up people, but I love it how he's so innocent while doing it and acting like a kid who just has to touch everything. Few grammar mistakes here and there but it doesn't take out how enjoyable it is.
__________________________________

Jack didn’t know what to do. He sat quietly. Ianto had asked him very nicely, not like Owen who had shouted at him. Jack wanted to behave; he wondered if they really liked him, all these people that knew him. All they seemed to do was shout at each other. It scared him, especially since they didn’t seem to know what they wanted to do with him,

He moved the chair, turning to the desk. Glancing over his shoulder he saw the four of them involved in an argument. So carefully, he put up a hand and put his finger against one of the pieces of paper on his desk. He moved it to one side, taking it out of the folder and he looked down at it. There was a symbol on the top and then a huge amount of black scrawls. Jack looked at them, he didn’t understand them. It was his room, his office, where he worked and he didn’t understand a single thing around him.

______________________________
He was not going to talk about the thought of Ianto with a gun. That was not going to mentioned. It was too much for one 51st century man to resist. If he was back in his own time, before the Doctor and before the two lost years of his life, he would have had Mr. Jones naked and sweaty within an hour of meeting him and never, ever let him go. Ever, ever, ever mine now you can't have.

Instead they were in the 21st which all sorts of stigmas and repression and their sex was dangerous still, with diseases and babies and such. No, here he had to work at things, wait and see. Not to mention Lisa was still hanging above them like a prophecy of doom and even all of Jack's wanting for those beautiful, long-fingered hands wasn't going to change that.

_________________________
They were playing strip chess. Ianto had agreed to Jack’s half joking proposal, and Jack had stared off into space for most of the day thinking of hands unbuttoning shirts and showing off what other lovely parts Ianto had, because if he could drive Jack to utter distraction while completely clothed, then naked Ianto must be able to make your brain explode. Squish, gone.

Boom. No more Jack brain. Jack brain all gone. Didn't even leave a note. Left in dark of night. Took good china and toaster. Whooh.

Jack was not going to start taking Ianto on field assignments to get Ianto dirty so he’d have to use the Torchwood showers. That would be immoral. He was going to start taking Ianto on fieldwork assignments because Ianto was smart, and capable and kept a level head.

His fingers continue caressing the silk, and as they slide past the black to the pink, a smile forms on his face. A pink quite similar to the shade his beautiful Welshman blushes when that first tentative step towards a real relationship was made over a fumbling offer of dinner and a movie. It is such a wonderful shade of pink that colored his face as they danced at her wedding, and later at their own; or the flush of being caught quite literally with their pants down in the greenhouse. It also reminds the Commander of the pink skin found on their little boy and girl when they were born. He is exhausted, but not willing to miss the sheer wonder reflecting in the eyes of his beloved partner as he carefully counts fingers and toes on both little bundles of life.

When it becomes clear that it won’t be Jack who starts a conversation, Ianto clears his throat, slides his hands into his pockets, nods towards the coat: “very Wuthering Heights, sir.”

Jack snorts at that: a sharp, rough bark of laughter, and he looks sidelong to Ianto, lowering the cup from his lips to reveal a grin.  “Does that make you my Cathy?”

“If it’s all the same to you, sir, I’d prefer not to be.  If I remember correctly, it’s not a happy story.”

His grin faltering, ever so slightly, Jack shrugs, looks once more out over the hills.  “And there I was thinking you just didn’t want to be the girl.”

“Tosh! Whoa! Whoa!” he heard Owen’s voice shout.

Jack raced outside to find Gwen and Owen grappling to keep a hold on a struggling Tosh who was screaming something nonsensical, her face twisted in rage. By their feet was a large knife, the blade stained with blood. The red liquid mixed with the coffee that had leaked all over the floor from the smashed cup. Several steps away, Ianto stood, his face pale and stunned.

He was clutching his left arm that Jack could see was bleeding from a large tear that cut through the wool of his suit and ran from his forearm down to his elbow.
