Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a brilliant fic that is recc'd at

longliveianto where I first found it, and I thought it should go here, as it gives us so much hope after the disaster that was the-series-that-shall-not-be-named. This is another fic that could be classed as canon if people wanted it to, in the words of the Doctor "Time can be rewritten."

Excerpt:

The man who shouldn’t be looked up through eyes that were nearly swollen shut at the man who wasn’t a man, smiled a smile that could only be described as ‘terrifying’ and shouted, “Doctor! What brings you here? No, wait let me guess. Um - Daleks? No, no we got all of those. Cybermen? No, the last of those died when we killed Y-Ianto’s girlfriend.” The Doctor could hear the slight stutter even through the slurring and wondered what had happened before Jack went on. “No, no, no! I’ve got it! The 456, are they back? Do you want to know how I did it? Or did someone tell you what I did and you’ve come to put me down?” The Doctor flinched.

At this last, the Doctor saw Jack’s eyes light up with a kind of horrifying hope. The Doctor realized that Jack was in worse shape than he thought if he believed for an instant that the Time Lord would actually kill him.

This is one awesome story, read this if you love stories where Ianto lives :D

Title: Go Away A Little Closer
Author:

blackbird_song
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Domestic, Angst, Humor, Men *eyeroll*
Warnings: Don't drink and read. Your keyboard will thank you.
Summary: A hard day brings strife, understanding, and a proposition or two for the future.
Commentary: This is a story where Jack and Ianto get domestic. So domestic, they even buy a house together, and there is talk of marriage. It's also a story where Jack dresses up in Wolverine pyjamas, Blowfish are sort of annoying, and Jack fails at marriage proposals. Do you need to hear more?

Well, then, how about this? There's a sequel, Time Stands Still is when the CP actually (sort of) happens, and is every bit a hilarious and awkward and full of crossed wires and random Torchwood-style craziness as, despite themselves, Jack and Ianto figure out how to live with each other.
Excerpt:( Of course, there's sex too... )

Warnings: Character death of the only sort of temporary kind.
Summary: A man gets so many chances.
Commentary: If you take a look at the tags, you'll notice that we at

janto_recshave this thing about giving Ianto more time. We make him immortal. We make him a timelord. We have him die of old age, or at least in his thirties. World Enough, and Time is a sweet little piece that plays with the idea of Ianto returning again and again. As

taffimaisaid in the comments, "For a story that had Ianto die about fifteen times, this is really adorable."
Excerpt: Jack's died ten thousand times; he's only lived once. As far as he knows, as far as he's ever experienced, only one of those things makes him different from every other human.

Genre: Character Study
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The authors like to joke about their wildly differing views on Mr Ianto Jones. But if they were to both write up lists of '25 Things Ianto Has Done and is Capable of Doing Again', they probably wouldn't be very different at all.
Status: Complete
Length: Two Parts, A and B
Warnings: All standard Torchwood ones
Comment: Ianto has- and likely always will be- the unique status of being a man with a mysterious past. Just as often as we have speculated about Jack's background, we have speculated about Ianto's- if not more so. These two pieces are a good way to illustrate why that is- because although we might argee on a few broader points, very little else is nailed down.

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.

Author:

criccieth
Genre: backstory, angst, drama, ect
Rating: NC-17
Summary: All relationships have their stages and their first moments
Status: Incomplete, looooong
Warnings: Sex, domestic abuse, suicide attempts
Comment: This isn't the sort of background I normally buy for Ianto, but the details and emotions are so vivid here that it's hard not to buy it. The story is shaping up to be complicated and full of interesting interactions between Jack and Ianto, some of which looks like it has/is going to involve a sort of time travel. Updates are long in coming, but seeing as the length of each section is ridiculous, I'm not going to complain too much.

Excerpt:
For two years Ianto has been doing his best to forget, to bury the memories. And now, if Harkness does turn out to want what Oliver wanted…It won’t be the same, he tells himself firmly. Won’t be trapped. Won’t be a prisoner this time. As soon as she’s better, we’ll leave. Slowly, his hands stop shaking. Lisa, he reminds himself. It’s for Lisa. Whatever it takes, remember? Doesn’t matter what it costs. You can handle it. It’s for her. But he feels so cold.

Genre: Closest to hurt/comfort, but that's not quite right
Rating: NC-17
Summary: "Ianto’s numb, and he likes it that way"
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."

Title: The World’s More Full of Weeping
Author: sparking_off
Rating: K+
Word count: 5779
Timeline: Set in the time between ‘Greeks Bearing Gifts’ and ‘Out of Time’, although there’s no reference to ‘They Keep Killing Suzie’.
Characters: Ianto-centric, Jack/Ianto
Summary: Ten years after the death of Ianto’s mother, he returns to her childhood home to say goodbye and to be himself, away from the dangers and secrecy of Torchwood, and away from the confusion that is his relationship with Jack.

Commentary: The idea of Ianto as one of the fairies' Choosen Ones isn't something new in fandom. What is new is the idea of Ianto as a fairy- a fairy lord, even. sparking_off's Ianto is a comflicted fellow, stranding between two very different worlds, both a which are frightening in their own way, not in the least because he loves them both. The writing style itself is very subtle and soothing, and sometimes nonlinear as well, as Ianto deals with the effects of things which to the reader have no cause. If you're a fan of strong Ianto or romantic Janto, this is a story for you.

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.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is such a gorgeous, emotional, angsty fic with a bit of hope.

EXCERPT:

"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.

EXCERPT:

In his office Jack looked up wondering were both Ianto and his coffee were. Setting his pen down, he hit his comm. link and whined playfully, “Iiiiiaaaantoooo, Where are you? Where’s my coffee?”

There was no reply.

Jack called again this time sounding vaguely pathetic

“I’m a little preoccupied, Sir. I’ll be with you in a moment,” soothed Ianto the soft voice going someway to calm Jack down.

But Jack being Jack wasn’t satisfied. Leaning back in his chair he asked petulantly, “What’s more important than sharing a coffee with me?”… Pushing himself up and out of his chair, he wandered across to the door and pulled it open. He froze, staring in disbelief at the sight that greeted him.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack slowly raised his eyes and holding Ianto’s gaze, he asked softly, “Is this what you want?”

Ianto didn’t answer. He didn’t dare trust his voice. He’d wanted this for so long, had wanted to feel something other than pure raw sex. Ianto knew he would never willingly admit that what he longed for was the softer things, the simple things such as cuddling and snuggling. He knew he’d never ask for it, not now and certainly not from Jack. He’d made that mistake once before... only to be laughed at... ridiculed for wanting such... things. So he stayed quiet, his body tense... He was standing still as if afraid that one movement would ruin the moment.

“Ianto,” breathed Jack, “Answer me. Is this what you really want from me?”

Ianto nodded, almost sadly as if expecting the spell to be broken.

To his surprise Jack smiled – a soft warm smile that lit up the older man’s eyes…

Warnings: Ianto/Lisa, slightly weird familial relationships, but other than that you're in for a wonderful ride
Comment: This is AMAZING like you wouldn't believe- tailor!Ianto and uberpowerfulMage!Ianto and jealous!Jack and all sorts of wonderful, wonderful things like that. It features characters from Doctor Who and Sarah Jane Adventures as well as the entire cast of Torchwood- even PC Andy makes an apperance as an adorkable kid in the last chapter. The format is wonderful as well- each chapter opens with a quote from the series, which perfectly, and sometimes hilariously, sets the tone for the chapter.Everything a Torchwood AU should be, this is a fic you really don't want to miss out on.

It's the simple things, the little moments that can completely throw your life off the course it's firmly been set on.

For Ianto Jones, it had been something as simple as offering help with a stubborn horse.

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...

This fic is an emotional ride where Ianto's past and some hidden secrets are brought into light, but it ends on a hopeful note.

Bear the warnings in mind for some disturbing imagery and implications.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto took a few minutes to sit by himself... Anyone observing him would have seen the swollen black eye, the bleeding cuts... A closer observer would have noticed the quick, shallow breathing... glazed eyes... the occasional shaking... Ianto, however, was practically invisible. It was a trait taught to him at his father’s knee... and... little Ianto would learn to internalize life... as... He quickly learned that by becoming invisible he could escape the bruises... bloody noses and the burns... At times like this, though, he wasn’t sure if he liked being invisible.

Being invisible today meant that he was ignored. In one respect that was good... It also meant, though, that everyone had apparently forgotten that mere hours ago he had almost joined the ranks of the fillet-ed... Ianto... broke through his... reverie. Slowly standing, all sound was cut off by the feeling of blood rushing in his ears. He steadied himself against the nearest tree, bracing himself... And that’s when the black spots came back again.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Forgotten (recced at the top). The first half of this fic deals with Ianto/Tosh friendship that has been developing since the last fic and in the latter half, we have Jack trying to bring Ianto into the team by taking him to a UNIT conference on a mission to retrieve alien tech. Ianto is more assertive and so kick-ass in this fic, a total 180 from the submissive and passive Ianto of before. And Ianto/Tosh friendship is just so heartwarming!

Bear the warnings in mind.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

After Jack sent Mary to the sun, Ianto was left to interview Tosh. He was quiet, and considerate, rubbing her back as she cried and somehow coming up with an endless supply of tissues. He was kind, but thorough, the only one of the team not to blame Tosh for her indiscretion. Tosh was still raw, Ianto could see that; he knew the rawness, knew how it could eat at your soul... He’d remembered...

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.

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.
