Comment or Excerpt from fic: Okay, so I was searching for Janto fics to read from different places and what do you know?! All I find are angsty fics that either end in death, someone leaving the other or someone cheating on the other... *twitch* So I decide that it's enough searching for today and come here to rec and what do I find?! The first fic that I wanna rec happens to a Jack cheating on Ianto fic! >_________<

*twitches in utter annoyance*

So, this is one screwed-up story, just heartbreakingly painful...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto... could feel something cold settling in his stomach and he didn't like it.

Owen jumped off the side of the table and came round to look him squarely in the face. "Quick, Ianto, what happened last night?... Do you remember leaving the Hub?"

Now that Ianto focused on it, no he didn't... Why couldn't he remember driving home? He shook his head.

... "Shit." Owen said again, then launched himself toward the medical bay.

"Wait," Ianto said following him. "What's going on?"

"I have a fairly good guess." Owen called over his shoulder.

Ianto had a guess, too, but it didn't make any sense. "Retcon?..." That sense of dread was descending over him, like he was standing over a precipice... and was just about to realize how far a drop it was. "That's not possible..."

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh wow! Talk about totally heartbreaking and painful! This is one of Bella's darker fics and gotta say that I DO kind of see this happening if our Torchwood universe was just a tad darker. Regardless, bear the warnings in mind because it IS very, VERY dark and contains graphic descriptions of rape and non-con!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto ran... as fast his legs could carry him. Behind him he could hear Jack gaining... Pure fear kicked in... He was sobbing; his eyes completely blind from the tears that fell in a torrent... He glanced down and saw his hands still covered in blood – her blood; god there was so much. He let out a howl of grief, stumbling on the uneven surface. He fell against the wall and tried to catch his breath. He’d never been so scared in his life. As he stood bent over, he heard Jack shouting... cursing... pounding down the corridor towards him. Ianto took off again, running as fast as he could, trying to ignore his burning lungs and the pain that was starting to seep into his legs.

As he rounded a corner he tripped and... landed heavily. For a moment he was stunned, the world spun round him and all he could hear was the pounding of the blood in his head. Then he felt himself being grabbed, strong hands lacing through his hair and suddenly he felt as if he was flying.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel of Loss of Innocence (recced above). This deals with Ianto's decision and the aftermath taking us to the end of the episode in canon. Though not as graphically descriptive, it's still quite dark, so bear the warnings in mind.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

As he opened the door he saw Ianto sitting cross legged on the floor surrounded by books. The Doctor started to smile but as Ianto looked up, the smile faded and the Doctor was at his side in an second, one arm going round the younger man shoulders, "Hey what’s wrong?" asked the Doctor his concern audible in his voice.

Ianto wiped the tears away... "Nothing. I was just reading about…” he gulped for air before continuing, “About 21st century…” He held the book out. The Doctor took it from him and scanned the page quickly noticing the bold writing and murmured, "21st century where everything changes and we have to be ready.”

"Jack says that all the time... God, I miss him.”

The Doctor didn’t reply... Looking up he asked softly, “Do you want to go back?”

“I don’t know,” whispered Ianto...

Rating: PG
Other/Implied Pairings: N/A

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a “kind-of” sequel to Snippet 1.1: Connect the Dots… I was unsure on how to post and decided to do both as different posts.

Much angst, more than its counterpart, it delves into the complication of Jack being pregnant with chicken-pox… It’s ends hopeful and happy, though! ^^

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Aah, another kid fic! Must admit that this was the very first Torchwood!Kid fic I read. When you read Kid!fics, it's usually about the kids of the TW3 members, so this was new. There is just something about the actual Torchwood 3 team themselves turning into kids... *laughs* Reading about Kid!Jack is always wonderful because for one, you don't see many of them at all and secondly, you get to see snippets of a life that is usually a whole 180 from what is shown in the actual show. Of course I must admit, what made this fic even more appealing was the slight Gwen-bashing... *coughs sheepishly*
