Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh anduria_trianys just hits a few of my kinks with this fic... *starry eyed* As much as I adore mythology of any kind, I've first been introduced to Greek and I'm a fanatic in that sense! Anyway, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the rift has been acting crazy and been sending Janto through space and time. As the summary states, their latest trip brings them to Ancient Greece in the 10th year of the Trojan War. Being in a time and place where one doesn't belong puts them in a precarious position as is, but knowing what will happen, will Jack and Ianto let events occur in their natural order or will they attempt to chance events, inadvertently changing history as they know it, consequences and paradoxes be damned?

EXCERPT:

He smiled as he recalled the little sojourn to Rome – the reign of Hadrian... Although, now he came to think about it... Ianto’s eyes widened in concern and he stared...

“... Last time I looked, Rome didn’t have a beach, so…where are we?”

Jack frowned. “We seem to be in the middle of the sea... but... then, I suppose the right question isn’t ‘Where are we?’ but ‘When are we?’ Because you’re right; this is not Rome – and those over there look to me like they could be Greek ships.”

... together they swam towards the shore... several tents and campfires came into view, all set up beside the ships. But what they saw as they came closer were several large wood pyres, some of them still smoking.

“My God!” exclaimed Jack. “Just – when are we?”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Spin-off of Jack and Ianto's Foray into Troy (recced above). Okay, so I really don't have much to say about this except: Jack + [Ancient] Greeks = DEBAUCHERY GALORE! *grins widely*

... Actually, now that I think about it, Jack plus just about anything leads to utter debauchery... XD

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

“Ianto... I need you…I need you to love me.”

Ianto... looked up... but still managed to appear beautifully confused. “Jack, surely you know I love you...”

“I don’t mean that... I just need you here... to hold you in my arms and... your chest against my heart.”

Ianto... realised what his partner was saying... saw the sheer depth of his emotions displayed openly... “Jack…” he whispered, drawing him into his arms... Jack’s arms were around him and he was leading him through the water in a tender dance to the music of the beating waves mirroring the rhythm of his heart.

“I’ve wanted to do this for so long,” Jack murmured into his hair... “Just…stand here, with you, doing what we’re doing... You and me, right here; holding each other and dancing in the Aegean…that’s all I want right now. I just want to be right here…just with you, right here.”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh I have no words to say about this 'verse and do it justice! It's an absolutely wonderful series that weaves fantasy and reality so flawlessly together to produce this brilliance! *starry-eyed* It has something for everyone - a John-centric story ("A Very Private War") for fans of John or a story for PC Andy fans which is fully Andy-centric ("The Mermaid of Mermaid Quay") or if you're a Janto freak like me, then you can just read the whole thing! ^___~ *LOL* The fics are recced in chronological order in accordance to time line (ex. "Memories of War, Memories of Love" is the epilogue of "A Very Private War," but occurs after "The Joining.") So, read the fics in the order they're recced below! ^^

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I have to admit that I was quite reluctant to add this story to the recs, not because it's BAD (cuz it's brilliant!), but because it was beyond DARK and I was seriously tempted to stop reading every once in a while since it just kept getting darker and darker. It was heartbreaking the whole first three chapters and a majority of the fourth. Funny thing being that as I was reading the first third of chapter 1, I was tempted to just keep the warnings a secret (because I was seriously under the impression that it had kinky Master/Slave sex... It's Jack and Ianto, so I'm sure you see where I got the impression from and forgive me for that soon to be proven wrongful assumption) and just look at the title! It doesn't give even the slightest clue! Then I get to the end of the one-third marker and realize that it's got some VERY shady subjects already, but it doesn't seem so bad...

-___-;; Let's just say that in the progression of reading the fic, I realized how extremely short-sighted I was; the fic's too f*cking traumatizing (because unlike the fic The Oncoming Storm, you don't have some 17+ chapters to get used t... err... come to terms with the warnings), so it's safer it just be blunt and tell you...

... USE EXTREME CAUTION!! It's REALLY not for the faint of heart, so if you're squeamish even the slightest, then be smart and DON'T read it!

If there was a higher rating, I would likely use that since NC-17 seems too less...
