Warnings: Smut
Comment or Excerpt from fic: It greatly amuses me to see Jack get jealous and possessive where Ianto is concerned! And it just as easily pisses me off when he flirts with everyone and goes behind Ianto's back and sleeps with others, but doesn't like it when Ianto flirts with others. *siiigh* Sometimes I just wish Ianto would just bitch-punch Jack into oblivion...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

It had all started so innocently. Both of them had noticed the ladies looking. Ianto said they were looking at Jack, but Jack knew better... Still, they had enjoyed the attention... joked about it... But Jack had never dreamed that Ianto would take him up on his dare... He watched in disbelief as three of the women surrounded Ianto... and started slathering him with tanning oil... Jack hadn’t believed he had a jealous bone in his body, but he’d been wrong. Watching Ianto being touched and fawned over by those silly girls, Jack felt himself getting... Angry. He was jealous, and he was doubly pissed off about it. When he saw one girl... press herself against Ianto’s back, Jack almost lost it... Ianto... saw Jack get up from their blanket and start towards him, stomping... angrily...

Jack’s eyes narrowed as he picked up the pace... Ianto... looked up at... Jack... looming disapprovingly over him. Fuck. Jack was really pissed off; he hadn’t expected that. And Ianto... knew it was time to go.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Another Post-KKBB fic where Janto try to reconcile their fractured relationship. This might seem similar to 805belladonna's fic, Where Do We Go From Here? - recced HERE - but that's only in the initial chapter(s), so don't worry! ^^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He spoke with his work voice: casual and slightly sarcastic, usually enough to make Jack melt completely. Usually. That tone of voice in the privacy of his flat was not common, and it was enough for Jack to sense danger.

“Ianto, we need to-“ Ianto cut across him again, standing up and turning, meeting his eyes.

“Later, Jack.” The tone was strong in Ianto’s voice, making Jack nod once before watching Ianto leave the room.

...

Ianto returned, a few minutes later, with two mugs of coffee... smiled briefly before leaving the room... He sighed heavily and moved off to his bedroom to go through the motions of finding Jack’s clothes. In reality, the drawer that Jack had filled with spare shirts, trousers and underwear had remained untouched in his absence. Ianto wasn’t ready for Jack to see just how much he’d missed him quite yet.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is such a wonderful fic! It's mostly Jack's introspection during the "Year that never was" flowing into KKBB on his feelings and Ianto and love, specifically, his feelings of love FOR Ianto.

It's starts out angsty and you'll feel like kicking Jack for being an idiot, but it has a happy ending, I promise! ^^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack choked back a sob when he thought about how Ianto must have seen Jack’s attitude toward their relationship. He had been foolish enough to think that he didn’t need to care for anyone until he was reunited with the Doctor.

... Back on the Valiant... Jack had stubbornly told himself that yes, he did love Ianto enough to let him go. That was the only thing to do when he fell for someone who would undoubtedly leave him... It was only when time had reset itself and the past year had become a memory... that Jack questioned what he had been thinking...

... Glancing over at Ianto, who was sitting behind the wheel, Jack couldn’t help smile to himself.

Once upon a time, he had decided he did love Ianto enough to let him go. But now, sitting here next to the wonderful man himself, he knew that he loved Ianto too much to let him go.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: O.H. M.Y. G.O.D.!! That is one disturbing, emotionally torturing!Ianto fic! The descriptions are most gorgeous and the pain is oh so vividly felt. Ianto's slow descent into madness is stemmed by the apparitions of Jack he keeps seeing, hearing... feeling...

It's so heartbreakingly painful to see it and it reduced me to tears.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He’d spent the better part of the past two weeks mooching around his office... But it gave Ianto the chance to explore the building’s intimate places like he’d never done before... wandering... pining, and discovering.

... he’d found out that there was a state between the hub sustaining itself and Lockdown. Like right now...

Ianto stared at the tendrils of feathering sapphire floating around... Blue light pulsating... Warbles of great aquamarine. Cold Northern Lights.

Ianto felt submerged beneath something greater than himself. Like a dot of sand trapped inside a pearl, rolling in the vast stomach of the ocean. His hand went out to touch a single thick ripple. Its slow undulations faded over his fingers, it fluttered and writhed, the air making love to his hand.

The hub seemed alive tonight.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a total angsty fic where Jack goes to extreme measures to ensure the safety of the remaining Torchwood family the only way he knows how. But the question remains, are the good intentions just that or a misguided attempt...

... *twitch*

... Okay, so enough with the deeply profound explanation! *rolls eyes at self and mumbles about being crap at explaining* I LOVE THIS FIC!! It's heartbreaking and emotional and painful all woven together into this piece of WONDROUS writing! With the author's habit of breaking apart the boys... *pointed glare* ... you can more than expect a very angsty ride! It's an immensely intriguing take on the concept of one character retconning another in order to protect them from the evils of the world...

I CAN'T WAIT!! ^^

That when I open my eyes the world will be full of love and happiness and nothing can hurt me ever again...please…” he murmured, “Just lie to me.”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one of the very few stories with the most roller-coasting ride of Jack and Ianto's relationship that I've ever read. It's seems to be a "one step forward, two [sometimes more] steps back" situation and it's quite DARK and very ANGSTY and depressing and just when you think they've come to some kind of resolution, they're interrupted either by the phone, the comm, the alarms... GWEN! >________<

I'm waiting for some happiness, especially for Ianto! *huggles tightly*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto felt his stomach knot as he saw the mix of expressions playing across Jack’s face – concern, worry and worse of all the hint of hopeful anticipation. Ianto quickly turned away fighting to keep his voce normal... and... Ianto watched Jack walk away for him and across to Gwen and it killed him...

... ”I’m not a fool, Jack. I know you and she...it’s so obvious…I mean if she wasn’t with Rhys then who knows…” his voiced faltered and he looked away, his statement hanging in the air.

Jack didn’t know how to respond. He wanted to grab the younger man, to tell him he was wrong, that he felt nothing for Gwen…but he’d be lying. He did feel something for Gwen. He couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to. But the fact Ianto could read it so easily unnerved him...

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I WAS thinking that Caz was gonna leave "MAMoT" and was gearing-up to nag her until she either wrote an epilogue and/or a sequel. Glad I don't have to do that anymore as she decided on the latter... *cheeky grin*

Also, glad it wasn't what I thought it was at the end of "MAMoT"... I was seriously freaking-out! *glares at Caz*

EXCERPT:

Ianto cursed himself as the hot water sprayed from the shower, burning his arms as he hastily adjusted the temperature. He rather enjoyed his shower as part of an early morning ritual, which, he knew was pointless. Only for the fact that working at Torchwood wasn’t the cleanest of jobs. Feeding Myfanwy, taking care of Janet, evading Jacks wandering hands, and that was all just before 9am.
