Length: ~3500 words

Title: Heaven in Hell's Demesne
Author:

crystalfic
Genre: Angst, hurt/comfort
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete
Length: ~800 words
Warnings: Torture, violence
Summary: Sometimes, all it takes to call you back from a nightmare is a familiar voice.
Commentary: Anyone who takes a good look at my recs can tell that I am a sucker for fics dealing with the YTNW. This is a short fic, and it deals with many the familiar tropes of the subgenre, but with such wonderful characterizations that I couldn't help but bookmark it. Jack's humor, Ianto's understated care, it all shines through with perfect clarity.

Title: Questions
Author:

kinkerbelle13
Genre: Angst, relationship, romance, AU
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete
Length: ~2600
Warnings: Canon character death
Summary: Basically, Jack and Owen have a conversation.
Commentary: Don't let the summary fool you; this fic continues long after the conversation between Owen and Jack is over, both chronologically and narratively. It's starts with one question Owen asks, and it takes a while for Jack to find an answer to it. In the meantime, Torchwood marches on, the world nearly ends a few times, and through it all, Jack wonders.
Exerpt:( A conversation... )

Title: World Enough, and Time
Author:

soraismus
Genre: angst, romance, mystery
Rating: PG
Length: ~2,400
Status: Complete
Warnings: Character death of the only sort of temporary kind.
Summary: A man gets so many chances.
Commentary: If you take a look at the tags, you'll notice that we at

janto_recshave this thing about giving Ianto more time. We make him immortal. We make him a timelord. We have him die of old age, or at least in his thirties. World Enough, and Time is a sweet little piece that plays with the idea of Ianto returning again and again. As

taffimaisaid in the comments, "For a story that had Ianto die about fifteen times, this is really adorable."
Excerpt: Jack's died ten thousand times; he's only lived once. As far as he knows, as far as he's ever experienced, only one of those things makes him different from every other human.

Title: And You Will Know Her By The Smile In Her Eyes
Author:

gilascave
Genre: Romance, family, angst, AU
Rating: PG-15
Length: 21,500 words
Status: Complete
Warning: MPreg
Comment: There's something about this fic that stuck with me. Maybe it was the underlying message at the end of the fic that Ianto and Jack were very similar people after all. Maybe it's the way Ianto pragmatically and stoically tries to regulate his emotions and behavior. Maybe it's the sneaky bit of implied Doctor/Master slash. Probably, it's the fact that this fic is just plain adorable. So, read and enjoy. This is comfort food fic at it's best.
Excerpt: ( Fluff under here )

Title: Something New
Author:

unfeathered
Genre: PWP, Kink
Rating: NC-17
Summary: "Don't move. Don't open your eyes." Written for the prompts: Gun-play, object insertion, D/s.
Status: Complete
Length: 1,949 words
Warnings: Gunplay, D/s, really, really kinky
Comment: This is shameless PWP, as much about fun and affection between the two men as it is about the level of trust playing with these kinks like this necessitates. On a more personal note, I've always liked the idea of Dom!Ianto, and who doesn't like Jack's gun?

Title: Laid Bare
Author:

csigeekfan
Genre: Angst, Gen
Rating: Teen
Summary: ( SPOILERS FOR CHILDREN OF EARTH. )
Status: Complete
Length: Oneshot
Warnings: Spoilers for Children Of Earth
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Jack gets naked in public. I know what you're thinking, but sex is not the case. It's gorgeously written, the imagery is superb and the feel of it is just... guh. Jack getting naked isn't what it's always been, it means so much more. It plays a great part on Jack and Ianto's relationship here.
This fic is poignant, heartbreaking. You'll feel for Jack in this one.

Title: Hourglass
Author: Lazuli Kat
Genre: Drama, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Death is not the only form of loss.
Status: Complete
Length: Very long
Warning: Mental illness, character death
Comment: What if John Hart were exactly the sort of man everyone thought he was when he first appeared? What if Grey somehow got free in the Hub? What if after being buried alive, Jack came back with something? And how, on top of recovering from Tosh and Owen's death's, would Gwen and Ianto cope?

This is an AU after Series Two ended, and there is a very strong sense of "the end is where we start from" throughout this fic- the sense that despite all of Torchwood's losses, they'll somehow be able to recover. There is a plot, but most of the action centers around Jack and Ianto, and I think you'll find it a very satisfying read.
Except from Fic: ( Cut for length )

Title: Adam
Author:

invisible_lift
Genre: Mystery/Angst
Rating: ranges from PG to R
Summary: "No one knows what happened to the real Ianto Jones."
Status: Complete
Length: Six chapters
Warnings: Despite the title, NOT a spoilerfic for "Adam." Reference to "Ghost Machine." R-rating on some chapters due to violence.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This fic is actually an expansion of a chilling ficlet

invisible_lift posted while working on "A Hatful of Hollow." For a fairly simple premise, there's quite a lot going on here. You get glimpses of the mundane (for Torchwood, anyway) daily tasks at the hub, friendships among the team, and a very dark Jack indeed. Link at the top takes you to the 1st chapter; one below brings you to all six.

Jack kissed him gently, almost tentatively, letting his tongue dart in to taste but not to explore. It was a delicate, light sort of touching, but surprisingly pleasant. Ianto was seriously considering leaving the scanning equipment where it was and suggesting they make use of the boardroom table immediately when he felt something cold and hard pressed against the side of his head and heard a metallic click.

“Where is he?” Jack growled against his mouth.

Read Adam...

Title: Cycle
Author: misswinterhill
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Fluff
Rating: T
Summary: Jack did stupid things, crazy things, extravagant things, but this topped almost all of them. An apology present. This is set post OOT and up to the morning after KKBB. Minor mention of Adrift.
Status: Complete
Length: 3800 words
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is the fic you might know as "The one with the motorcycle". Unashamedly cute, and with a happy ending, this is one stroy you can always count on to bring a smile to your face.

Title: The Theory of Two Centres
Author: sam_storyteller
Genre: Action/Romance/Humor/Angst
Rating: Hard R
Summary: Ianto Jones woke up in a bed that wasn't his, in a flat that wasn't his, wearing clothing that definitely wasn't his.
Status: Complete
Length: 8 Chapters
Warnings: Post-season 2 finale.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: retconned!Ianto. <3 I looked at the masterlist and saw that this hasn't been recced yet and wow, I can't believe it hasn't! This is one of the best TW stories I've ever read, it has everything. Action/Adventure, romance, retcon, an awesome plot and guh. Just guh. I love Jack and Ianto's relationship in this, I especially loved how the author wrote Jack. An Ianto who has lost 4 years of his life, he's so different from nornal Ianto! *_* And it's interesting how not a lot of things bother him. :D

Excerpt:

"There's a Rift in the fabric of space and time that runs through Cardiff," Harkness said. "It spits things out. Sometimes it takes things. The things it brings us are alien, anachronistic. Each of these points represents a Rift spike. Somewhere the Rift has opened and dropped something here that was never meant to be here."

Ianto gave him a sceptical look. "Now you're just having me on."

"I'm not."

"This is Cardiff, it's a fucking wasteland, nothing ever happens here," Ianto said.

Harkness looked sad. "I always wondered what you were like before London got its hooks into you," he said.

Title: And Indeed There Will Be Time
Author:

kaydeefalls
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Mystery
Rating: R
Summary: In 1919, Harriet Derbyshire was killed while investigating the disappearance of Torchwood Four in Dublin. In 2009, UNIT pulls a dying man out of the Irish Sea with a one-word message: Torchwood. Martha joins up with Jack's team in Cardiff to track down the errant branch of the organization – before a time-traveling race of aliens can change the course of history as we know it.
Status: Complete
Length: 43,000 words
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is an amazing story. The plot is a wonderfully twisty time-travel mystery, with aliens and paradoxes and cross-time clues. All the characters are really well-done, and especially Martha and Mickey get a chance to shine. The author does a really good job guiding the reader through the complex plot and has also created some truly spectacular original characters. It's also a marvelous Jack/Ianto story, showing their relationship as strong and trusting. One of the best all-around pieces of Torchwood fan fiction I've read.

Title: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics
Author:

alex51324
Genre: ANGST. Like whoa.
Rating: R-ish for language and themes
Summary: Obligatory post-Cyberwoman Janto. My attempt to answer the question of "How did Ianto get from calling Jack a monster in "Cyberwoman" to suggesting sex games in "They Keep Killing Suzie"?" Because what the fandom really needs is more of those. Anyway, here's my take.
Status: Complete
Length: Two parts
Warnings: Dubious consent, drugging
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Here's a really interesting take on the post-Cyberwoman story. It's really well done and full of angsty goodness. Ianto is very sad, messed up, and in character, as is Jack. It's definitely a story you want to squirm at and ask questions of, because for some reason you don't want it to work that way, but it so DOES. :D

Title: All These Days After Tomorrow
Author:

rm
Genre: General
Rating: PG
Summary: "I'm having lunch with Alice today," Jack says, fastening his cufflinks.
Status: Complete
Length: Oneshot
Warnings: Spoilers for Series 3. If you are staying unspoiled, don't read it.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I love how silent this story is, and it mostly in dialogue. A conversation between Jack and Ianto about her, if you don't know who she is already. Also talks about Jack not aging, which I found really lovely. If you're looking for a break from the smut and the angst and the fluff, here's a general Jack and Ianto for you, the kind I love. Not that all the others aren't good, it's just that I've already got past all that stuff. I know they have sex, they've had their angst, now I just like the general Jack/Ianto. This fic is set in Series 3 I think and we already know Jack/Ianto are together in it. There are no kisses to indicate they are and if you didn't already know they were in a relationship, you'd feel it. It's like it's just there. Okay then. Now i'm just not making sense.

"You always take this conversation so well," he says. It's ridiculously obvious that he's unhappy.

Ianto shrugs. "What am I supposed to do, exactly?"

"Be disturbed," Jack offers lightly, in a way that Ianto thinks is vastly cruel and unfair to all concerned.

"Sorry," he says, keeping his eyes on the road, "no interest in contributing to the family drama."

"No. Of course not. Always so calm, so even, our Ianto."

Ianto snorts. "We both know that's not true."

We're gonna try a different one, because I fail at reading the masterlist and redundantly posted yesterday. I looked rlllll carefully this time and hopefully I don't fail. Again. ^_^;;

Title: Of Presents, Give-and-Take, & Memory
Author:

blue_fjords
Genre: Angst, Fluff, CHRISTMAS
Rating: PG-13 (for swearing, implied m/m sex, butchering of the Welsh language)
Summary: In which Dead!Tosh gives presents from the beyond, Ianto is the King of Shitty Christmases, Jack learns a few helpful Welsh phrases, Gwen tries her hand at a roast, Rhys provides reinforcements, and Scotch is consumed by all.

So I've been writing again, and I love this community and it's ability to give me fics that inspire me, and it made me sad that there has been a dearth of recs for a while. So I decided to haul into the vault of my personal favorites, check the master-list and see if they haven't been recced yet, and then rec which ones haven't until I run out. Because I love you guys!

Title: Death #7402
Author:

hatofhornigold
Genre: Humor with a bit of smut thrown in
Rating: R
Summary: Jack has died many times. Inevitably, some of his deaths must have been kind of embarrassing.
Status: Complete
Length: One-shot - 370 words
Warnings: Naughtiness and accidental violence
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I couldn't stop laughing when I read this the first time. No, really. If you've watched our dear Jack on Dr. Who, you couldn't help but notice his tendency to hide things in inappropriate places... and I won't ruin it for you, but this fic just plays on that in a hilarious manner. The dialogue is brilliant and it's so in-character it'll make you want to jump up and down and squeal. :D

Title: Five complaints that Ianto Jones has thought about registering concerning Torchwood (and one that he did)
Author:

strangecreature
Genre: Five Things, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: R
Summary: The author describes the story as "Crashing around behind the scenes for a wide swath of the first season."
Status: Complete
Length: 4400 words
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I admit, I'm a huge sucker for the "Five Things" format. Bias aside, though, this is a really good sample of the genre, using the format as a frame and as inspiration, not as a crutch. The story begins during Ianto's first weeks at Torchwood Three and follows the progress of his relationships with the team--and Jack--up through the events of the first season. The "complaints" fit in nicely with Ianto's sense of humor--and sarcasm. It's a nicely well-written and subtle story.

Title: Torchwood One Archive
Author: James aka

zortified (Writing journal:

gilascave)
Genre: Angst, Drama, Crossover
Rating: PG-15
Summary: Jack has returned to Torchwood and to Ianto. Ianto is determined to make the best of it but he knows it won't last forever. Their time together threatens to get even shorter when the Doctor shows up unexpectedly.
Status: Complete
Length: 11,500 words
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a good, solid, plotty story. The characters are well-done, and I was especially pleased to see Jack and Ianto interacting like the emotionally awkward men they both are, and equally pleased to see them acting so physically comfortable with each other. Theirs is an odd and difficult relationship to capture, and I think this story does it very well. In addition, the story itself is interesting and engaging and has a fascinating premise. It's also the kind of story that you'll really want to read twice, just to admire the new layers of meaning that show up on the second read. Really well done.

Title: If Not Wisely
Author:

liadan14
Genre: Angst
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Ianto keeps count. He hardly knows why--it's not like it matters, it's not like Jack cares, it's not like he wouldn't sound like a creepy stalker if he were to say something like, "I remember our seventeenth kiss. It was in the archives."
Status: Complete
Length: ~9,500 words in 3 parts
Warnings: None

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This story snuck up on me. I started reading it and certainly thought it was good, but as the story unfolded I found myself absolutely drawn in and held fast. It's beautifully written, showing Ianto as the more-than-slightly screwed up person he is without taking him out of character. The build-up to the end was very well-done, and the end itself was a perfect grace note to a wonderful story.
