Title: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics
Author:    [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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: Five complaints that Ianto Jones has thought about registering concerning Torchwood (and one that he did)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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.

Status: Complete, 2335 words
Warnings: Sex and heartbreak
Comment: Set post Cyberwoman and Countrcide, Ianto is trying to come to terms with losing his girlfriend *and* nearly being eaten by cannibals. This fic is one of the few that I have read that actually explores how horrific and traumatic this would be for Ianto and appreciates what anyone would have to do to stay sane. Really heartbreaking and genuine with some Jack and Ianto soapy shower fun thrown in there too. Best fic I have read this year so far [and believe me, I don't get out much].

"Time passed in Torchwood as time always did: noisily, messily, and with a great deal of shouting. He was numb to most of it."

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh GOD! SO MANY ANGSTY FICS! T____T But, there’s hope yet since this fic starts out angsty, but ends on a hopeful tone (if one doesn’t think about all that happens the rest of S1, anyway… *coughs*). So, this is the author’s take on how Janto relationship changed through the course of S1 (atleast until after “Countrycide”).

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack had never felt as used as he had in the beginning of his relationship with Ianto. The occasional shag without any promise of a repeat, with absolutely no emotional attachment.

Of course, he didn’t realise why until later, and by the time he did, he didn’t begrudge Ianto because of it. The young man had been in emotional turmoil - every second of the day that he was alive and sane was a blessing. His mind tore him in two and his heart just made the fight worse.

"Three days after Lisa dies (again) (forever), Ianto finds himself back at the hub.

His dreams rain fire so that when he opens his eyes, he sees streamers-orange and red and an insidious sulfur yellow—and they burn.

Maybe it’s the salt tears.


He can’t sleep, can’t stay another minute with his head against the sweat-stale pillow case, the one he hasn’t changed in days, which isn’t like him."

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Strangely enough, for me, the question of whether Janto's (sexual) relationship started before TW S1 or not depends on my mood, and I’ve read all versions. Regardless, I do like Erin’s take on how things started between them, the slow build-up of feelings and emotions.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

There was something about Jack Harkness - always had been. Ever since he’d unquestioningly tried to catch the man... trying to subdue a pterodactyl Ianto couldn’t deny there was something... 51st Century pheromones Jack had said and Ianto had thought it was a line, although... it was probably the truth. Ianto hadn’t been thinking of Lisa as he lay on top of Jack... laughter on his lips and Jack’s hot breath on his face... It was overwhelming Ianto’s senses now… he leaned in to kiss Jack tenderly, pulling back slightly and resting his forehead against Jack’s. He breathed in deep, inhaling Jack’s scent one last time before pulling away to look meaningfully in Jack’s eyes.

“Thank you.” Ianto breathed, before... turning to leave. Jack didn’t move until he heard the cog door rolling back... letting out a long sigh... hee... turned to the decanter on his desk, but at the last minute changed his mind. He wanted – needed – sleep, and as he lay between the sheets that night he thought of life and not death.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh sneaky, sneaky Jack! ^^ Taking place post "Cyberwoman," Jack's "hunting" Ianto by constantly following him around and coming-on to him while Ianto is trying his best to ignore Jack and mind his own business. Unfortunately, Ianto should KNOW that Jack is a force that can't be ignored. This back-and-forth game is so amusing with Jack testing Ianto's limits, I'm eager to see it played out! ^^ And what's better, it comes with a dose of Gwen-bashing! ^_______________^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack... wouldn’t let any of his team get away with anything illegal. Except Ianto, maybe. The rest of the team had expected Jack to execute or... retcon him... However, they’d understood why Jack had given him... suspension and then allowed him back... Ianto had been right... None of them had ever asked him anything about his personal life... It was... this... that had born his forgiveness... Even though Jack had been the first to grant him clemency, the captain had kept a much closer eye on him... rarely leaving him alone...

Today... he saw that Ianto was reading a book... Jack... manipulated the camera down to get a closer look... Apparently, the movement... made... whirring sound, as Ianto whipped around... and glared at the camera. Jack had a feeling that Ianto knew it was him... With that, Ianto tucked the book into a drawer, locked it and walked out of the Office and into the hub. Jack cursed himself silently, but felt the thrill of a new challenge for himself...

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Another post-"Cyberwoman" fic. I've read many and while most follow... suspension of Ianto, Jack coming to see Ianto during the suspension, Ianto's decision and subsequent return to TW3 post suspension, and so on and so forth. And while I LOVE those fics, I haven't read many that deal with the immediate aftermath before Jack orders Ianto's suspension - all those feelings of betrayal, anger, despair, etc. In this fic, Ianto is utterly broken and Jack's emotions war between anger at the betrayal and helplessness. As such, this fic is DARK and violent to a degree (just because Jack can't seem to be able to control his anger), so bear that in mind.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack returned to the cellar to find Ianto still kneeling where he’d left him. The young man looked completely and utterly broken and as Jack strode into the room he didn’t even look up. Jack’s initial anger had melted away leaving him almost empty... Ianto just kept starting at the floor... breath... coming in short ragged, almost painful, gasps. Jack frowned as he noticed how pale Ianto appeared... There were tear tracks visible... cutting through the grime. Jack... had never realised... just how young Ianto really was. But kneeling there, face splashed with the remains... and his clothes soaking up the blood, he looked no more than a boy and Jack suddenly felt... his anger morph into terrible, guilt-ridden understanding... The sight killed Jack. Ianto looked shattered. His eyes, red raw from crying, now gazed blankly at Jack. Jack swallowed then... coldly... indicated to the door, watching detachedly as Ianto stumbled forward, the younger man’s body barely functioning as he obeyed the order.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I can't believe I forgot to rec this fic! U.U Anyways, this is the author's take on TW S1 and (hopefully) eventually S2! It mostly follows canon events, but the author modifies it enough to be AU, especially the beginning chapters... and it's a BRILLIANT fic and long as hell! *_____*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

When a job went wrong, go back to the beginning.

Good advice, Ianto had always thought. And no job had ever gone as wrong as completely and as spectacularly as Torchwood. How many last days at a job were filled with destruction, tears and blood? But how to go back to the beginning, he had wondered. Torchwood was gone, burned, might as well salt the earth and walk away.

But Ianto hadn’t been able to let go for the simplest and most dangerous of reasons – love. Lisa was still alive and he had sworn to save her... He woke with tears... again. Lying there, unable to summon the strength... he let his mind wander. What to do, where to go, who to trust, how to find help… And then Vizzini’s rule crept into his mind. Go back to the beginning…Torchwood…the beginning… And Ianto knew what he had to do.

Torchwood. That meant Torchwood Three. That meant Cardiff…and Captain Jack Harkness.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto Jones began his fascination with time at an early age... It all really began with his mam. She was forever telling him to count things and she taught him many of life’s important lessons in this way...

It was only a fortnight after that conversation that his tad was killed by a hit and run driver. Ianto thought it a bit odd that instead of staying around for the funeral his mam insisted that they pack all their essential belongings... and depart... that very afternoon. That evening found them... in a... single room in the B&B. Ianto had never seen her look so pale before... sparkle... gone out of her eyes... her body... stiff and unyielding...

When he woke up the next morning she was gone. Only one of the suitcases was left; the one with Ianto’s things in it. There was in addition, a small package wrapped in brown paper tied with string and a letter addressed to him in his mam’s handwriting. The rest of the room was as empty as his heart.

Returning to Torchwood after she'd died hadn't been a choice. He'd merely yielded to the inevitability of his situation. He could no more outrun the consequences of his actions than he could change the phases of the moon, and when he'd shown up for work that day, he'd had very clear expectations. At the very least, he assumed he'd be retconned and removed from Torchwood Three completely. That was his best hope; in truth, he'd expected indefinite imprisonment in a UNIT facility or exile. He had no reason to believe that anyone at Torchwood would speak for him, nor would he expect them to ever trust him again.

Comment or excerpt from fic: Well, no prizes for guessing who's lj I've been stalking lately. Found my way there via one of [livejournal.com profile] beachan18's former recs and it truely is a treasure trove of Janto goodness. This one is post-Countryside (a personal favourite) and I particularly like Jack's care in his handling of Ianto following the events of Cyberwoman and then Countryside. For once he demonstrates patience and restraint which of course is all very well...but it's lovely when he lets baser Jack finally come out to play too :)

~*~*~*

He watches Ianto move slowly around the Hub, pausing to breathe heavily whenever Owen whirls past him with an accidental bump, or when reaching for a extra box of camomile tea on the top shelf (Gwen has taken to drinking herbal teas in the evening and proselytises about the effects despite constant mocking from Owen) causes his jacket to pull too tightly across his shoulders. Jack keeps his hands to himself, refrains from even a friendly brush of hands on the lower back and the spread of warmth it would produce.

He is careful with Ianto, keeping a safe distance between them so that Ianto knows he won't be suddenly attacked (Jack has taken to keeping his hands behind his back when talking to Ianto, which causes great hilarity among the rest of the team), but also asking questions, paying attention, making it clear that Ianto is valued.

Jack leads him down the stairs, to the left, and down again to the communal bathroom. Here, it occurs to Ianto, is a good place for an execution. Jack won't want to make any more of a mess for them to clean.

EXCERPT:

”I’m sorry. I just couldn’t get rid of him. It’s the only thing I have left of her, the only thing not tainted… I know you ordered me to dispose of her stuff but…” his voice faded again as he started to cry.

“Ianto,” sighed Jack, “I never meant for you to get rid of everything you ever shared with her... please don’t ever think that I want you to forget her completely... You can’t forget something that you loved so much and were willing to risk everything for and I would never ask you too... few people have ever loved with the force that you do. It’s special, Ianto, hold on to the good parts but don’t let the bad parts destroy you. Please”

... Ianto smiled and nodded slightly, saying softly, “Thank you – for being so understanding.”

“Don’t mention it,” replied Jack, just glad to see Ianto smiling again. Without thinking his hand found its way to the small of Ianto's back and he guided them both away from the darkness and back towards the light.

I absolutely LOVE this story because like many of you, I very much dislike the fact that much of Janto relationship happens off-screen. They show it in fast-forward; a kiss under the pretense of CPR, then *BHAM!* proposition for sex, then *BHAM!*, then an actual kiss, then *BHAM!* date, etc. I mean, I can understand that they can't show everything because of time constraints and whatnot, but that doesn't stop me from being annoyed. Anyway, this is all that in slow-motion. The slow burn of heat and anticipation is enough to drive anyone crazy! But I love it, anyway! ^______^

Jack was back.

He’d barely had time to think about what that meant, let alone how he felt considering everything that had happened. The damned blowfish taunting him, his hands shaking so badly he wouldn’t have hit the wall with his bullet, much less the alien. Captain John Hart and his bloody diamond. God, the goose chase alone was enough to frustrate Ianto, but the attacks on the team. His team, his friends. Ianto drew in a deep breath to try and calm his rising anger.

Jack was back.

And Ianto hadn’t a clue what that meant yet.

_____________________________________________
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.
