Comment or Excerpt from fic: WHOA! The title shoulda given it away, but I was quite ignorant and it made me go, "HOLY SHIT! O_____O" So, Ianto becomes a victim of the rift and upon his return, he seems more normal than any of the previously known victims. But this normalcy hides a secret that is uncovered when Gwen is hurt and now Ianto is as abnormal as they come.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

When Ianto Jones fell through the Rift during a negative spike in activity, Captain Jack Harkness knew he had to get him back. Not because he was his lover, but because he didn’t want him to end up lost forever among the stars. He had to find a way to get him back before it was too late. No one deserved that fate.

But without a trail to follow, finding him was near to impossible. Three months passed without a lead to go on, and the team lost hope. Jack, forever the optimist, kept Ianto’s coffee mug and personnel information in the computer as an active member, even though he knew if Ianto came back after that long he probably wouldn’t be the same.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one gorgeous, GORGEOUS fic with vivid the imagery and deep emotion. It's on a darker side, but the feelings and need Jack and Ianto have for each is so tangible and it's just PERFECT!! *starry-eyed*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The bedside clock was nearly enough to keep Ianto awake... “I can’t sleep without it there,” said Jack, the night Ianto asked him to put something over it... One night the power failed... and left them in sudden pitch black, unable to see... Jack had hunted for a torch, barking orders at Ianto, telling him to... just fucking find something... to break the darkness... Ianto had lit a candle and then held Jack, shaking.

“Poor candle. It’s useless now,” Ianto had said. “Like a lantern in the sun.”

“It’s still important,” Jack had replied... “Even though we have the sun, sometimes I need a candle more than anything...” They’d blown it out and Ianto stored it in the kitchen drawer, wondering if he’d anthropomorphised it because he was still half-asleep or because he empathised with its eventual fate. Jack laughed when he found it... “You’re not a candle,” said Jack, kissing him. “You’re a lighthouse.”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: We all know that Jack suffered on the Valiant, but I always did wish that they spend more time on the lasting effects it had on Jack, but I guess I can't get everything I want and besides, that's what fancfiction is for! *laughs* Anyway, this is andromeda05's take on the lasting effects of Jack's captivity. It's a heartbreaking fic and as stated in the warnings, this is no light-hearted story, so bear that in mind!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

They had every right to be angry, they’d been betrayed... They’d waited days for him to come back, only for him to disappear again. They’d been forced to learn how to survive on their own... they were more cohesive than ever. Stronger than ever before, but once again, Jack found himself at the end of their teamwork and anger.

On the other hand, Jack had equally every right to be angry and bitter. He’d originally been betrayed by the people who were now angry at him-and... he hadn’t quite gotten over the fact they’d killed him. Then, he’d gone... with the Doctor, only to be told he was wrong and spend the next year being called a freak and monster. He didn’t fault them for their human emotions... But Jack wasn’t the man who’d left them five months ago-a year for him. He considered himself strong and resilient, but he wasn’t unbreakable. And as he watched them all glare at him... he felt it for the first time-he was breaking.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one of the most gorgeously written Janto fic series I've ever read... AM reading (since it's a WIP at the moment)! Starting off pre-series, it's got mystery and it's so intriguing and it's roped me in hook, line, and sinker!! There's an underlying plot that has been introduced, but hasn't yet been expanded on (yet) and it looks bigger than anything we could imagine as of yet... *twitches in excitement* And the characterization is just... GUH!! For now, this fic accentuates the relationship between Jack and Ianto, and it's wonderfully crafted... I can hardly wait for the rest!! ^^

The stories are posted in chronological order and are written by Teach with Andi (andromeda05) foraying into this world every once in a while!
