Comment: What if John Hart were exactly the sort of man everyone thought he was when he first appeared? What if Grey somehow got free in the Hub? What if after being buried alive, Jack came back with something? And how, on top of recovering from Tosh and Owen's death's, would Gwen and Ianto cope?

This is an AU after Series Two ended, and there is a very strong sense of "the end is where we start from" throughout this fic- the sense that despite all of Torchwood's losses, they'll somehow be able to recover. There is a plot, but most of the action centers around Jack and Ianto, and I think you'll find it a very satisfying read.

Rating: NC-17
Summary: Magic is just a different sort of science
Status: Complete
Length: 30 chapters
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.

Note the chronology...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto stood in the archives, staring at the small black device in his hands. He had already flipped open the lid. The blue flashing numbers were casting an eerie glow, illuminating his conflicted features.

He was scared. The risks that were involved in time-travel were huge... But nothing worth having was ever easy. And Tosh had worked so hard... Tosh had said she would go back in time... see her ancestors... to learn from them and their achievements... Ianto said he would go forward... see if the world... was... worth it, if the people were worth it. They both knew exactly whom it was he wanted to see, but neither of them mentioned him.

Ianto brushed away a stray tear... Tosh had been brave and strong. She hadn’t been able to get her wish, but he could do this one last thing for her. He wasn’t going to let the last bit of her brilliance go to waste.

He pushed the button.

So, based on TW 2x01 "KKBB," but not exactly the same. John is darker and the fic is angstier than canon, but the fic takes us behind-the-scenes through Janto's relationship and how it's being rebuilt (slowly...), so... *shrugs and grins*

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Well, this fic is one HECK of a roller-coaster ride! Having watched only the last two episodes of DW so far, I must admit that this fic can be made into actual cross-over episodes should anyone consider it! It's fast-pased and exciting and we meet characters that were lost to us again and that just made be cry others that just made me want to maim them... BUT! It's a marvelously written fic and very complex and so very exciting!

But at times, I was forced to wonder how multiple paradoxes didn't occur since characters... *coughJackcough* DO cross their parallel selves... ^^;; But even so, a MUST READ!

~*~*~*~*~~~

EXCERPT:

There was no simplicity left in the world... It was unbearable, the loneliness... There was so much out there... and most of it was out of reach... Torchwood dealt with the scum of the universe, not its wonders... there was something out there, something magnificent... but from where he was standing... it... couldn’t be farther away...

... As Ianto walked, a tremor swept violently through the city. The earth rumbled... and Ianto... thought he’d seen everything, but... that familiar, blindingly bright, blue and silver light tore through the sky, space, and time itself, causing... the world to collapse... a fresh wave of golden energy poured out of the Rift. Time itself came to a stop... and... all stared up at it in alarm... facing an abyss that threatened to consume them. And then... it was consuming them, pulling them off the ground and sucking them in like a vacuum... and... Seconds later they were hurtling through time and space.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Well, now this is a truly brilliant, BRILLIANT fic! It's one of the very few stories I read that has Ianto and Jack meet at Torchwood 1 before the whole Torchwood series. It's an AU fic that disregards the battle at Canary Wharf and the deaths of Jack's original team at Torchwood 3. The first meeting between our Jack and Ianto takes place when Jack is temporarily recruited to work on a highly specialized project called Project Hades with one Ianto Jones. The first meeting start with a BANG (literally) and sparks fly! This is such an addictive fic, one I want to read and read and wish the author would just post the whole damn story in it's entirety so I can keep reading!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

“So... You can die.”

... “Everyone can die.” He says simply, “But unlike everybody else I can do it more than once.”

She narrows her eyes... and inherently Jack knows he doesn’t like her. He trusts her, but he doesn’t like her...

“You understand... We have to make sure.”

Jack doesn’t understand what she means. Or perhaps he does, but his mind hasn’t come to terms with it yet...

“Jones,” she says sharply, “kill him.”

Neither a flicker of protest nor a murmur of question when the man, no, boy... moves, and for a fraction of a second as the gun is raised and the trigger squeezed, their eyes connect and Jack feels something. But there’s no time to figure out if it’s anger, fear or even betrayal before the bullet shatters his skull.

"I'll touch it." He said... "It's just a box. Maybe it's a future genie lamp, have you thought of it? If we rub it three times like this," and he touched it, his finger right where he felt it could've been a button.

He didn’t have time to finish his sentence, though. Jack's eyes widened in terror as he saw Ianto's hands in contact with the dark metal artifact... A blue light took over the room, blinding both Jack and Gwen for a moment. When they were able to open their eyes again, there was one less person on the Hub.

... "Ianto!" yelled Jack... "That was a freaking transport device! It was activated by his touch!" Jack's voice was loud and desperate, but not as much as his eyes.

The captain's eyes were terrified... "We lost him. I lost Ianto." He murmured to himself.

EXCERPT:

Jack collects details.

He takes in the sight of a white wrist peeking out from the sleeve of a suit jacket as he’s handed a cup of tea, and he tucks it away in his mind alongside the scent of the real Jack Harkness’s neck as they danced, and the taste of Estelle, and the sharpness of John’s fingernails on his shoulders, and the freckles of a boy he kissed so many years ago in the future, and the feel of a woman’s lace bodice sometime in the past. He holds them with him, these snippets of the people – from everywhere and by every definition – he’s loved...

... Ianto Jones is not the most, or the best, or the only – but he is the right now, the exhilarating present. His heart is thudding madly against Jack’s chest, and Jack has time to wonder if that’s how it feels to have a second heart...

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.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

He was right.

Jack shut the door to Ianto’s flat at precisely 12.01 officially the next day. Padding across the dark flat, Jack felt awful. He felt as if he’d cheated on Ianto, which was stupid since he hadn’t. Not technically...

Jack felt exhausted - emotional women weren’t really his strong point but what made he feel even worse was the fact that Ianto had been so understanding. The way Ianto had been so reasonable about Jack disappearing so suddenly from his bed and then standing him up at both lunch and dinner. Jack sighed and leaning against the doorframe, stared into the bedroom... smiled slowly as he realised Ianto had very deliberately left Jack’s side of the bed clear... The fact Ianto was rolled so tightly in the cover and on the verge of falling off his side of the bed, showed to Jack far more than words could ever say.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is the author's take on the back-stage happenings of Jack and Ianto's relationship. 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.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: *mumbles* Can't believe it! An apocalyptic event! *clears throat* So, it's all [livejournal.com profile] melindakitty's fault. She started writing this monster of story that I've got absolutely, completely hooked-on and I wanna keep reading it! Unfortunately, it's just been started and I have to wait. It's got various forms of Janto + John pairing and at first just made me go, "AWWW, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I DUN WANNA!! *pouts*," but I was promised some good Janto action throughtout the fic, so... *cheeky grin*

So, a journey for our beloved Janto. Through trials and tests and obstacles, they will most definitely become stronger both by themselves as well as together, but we'll see if they're successful in having a more meaningful, strong, and a lasting relationship together and maybe even a happily ever after...

I'm more than ready for the ride! ^___^

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

When he recovers his senses, Ianto’s arms feel better around him than any have in quite some time. Sensitive fingers stroke his hair. He kisses his way up Ianto’s throat. Smiles down at his new lover.

Ianto kisses him, smiling too. And for a few brief, happy moments there’s no past and no future and no grief and no monsters, just the joy of being right here, right now, together.

It can’t last -- nothing ever does when you outlive everyone -- but Jack decides as he kisses Ianto again that he really doesn’t care. Eventually, the kid will leave and go find the kind of sane, settled life he deserves. Eventually, the Doctor will return and Jack will forgive him for leaving. Eventually, he’ll return to the stars and leave Torchwood in competent hands.

But in the meantime...

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Another torturing!Ianto fic... and just why the hell are there so many?! *cries* So, post-Exit Wounds and Jack pushes Ianto away and is slowly breaking apart what's left of the team. And what's worse, he cheats on Ianto with John and Ianto accidentally walks in on them. Poor love... *huggles Ianto tightly*

The way the author wrote Jack, I REALLY wanted to rip him a few more holes (as I said in the comments), but I had more important things I felt like doing, namely huggle and protect Ianto. Though, since the author promised more stupid!Jack, I'm sure I'll have many more chances to maim Jack and kill John. Surprisingly though, I hold Jack responsible. *tsktsk*

That you’ll always be here… Lie to me and tell me that the darkness and the pain I feel are just an illusion. 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: This fic takes place during "Exit Wounds," particularly from the point of John's arrival into the hub that had him at Ianto's gunpoint. This is a much darker take on the actual episode since it delves into Gray's psychotic nature and shows just how far and deep he's consumed by the darkness and insanity. The fic is modified a bit to allow these changes, hence the slight AU-ness. Also, BEAR IN MIND THE WARNINGS SINCE THEY'RE QUITE GRAPHICALLY DESCRIPTIVE AND AS SUCH, REALLY NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

A young man came... ambling down the cell corridor... His clothes were grey and padded... Ianto could see the resemblance between Grey and Jack... There was a brutal scar on... his face and neck... his blue eyes... steely...

Grey... moved... to stand in front of Ianto. “Ianto Jones. Loyal, pretty Ianto Jones. Eye Candy, John calls you... John told me all about each and every one of you!... gave me everything I needed to know to take Jack’s life apart... told me about Owen Harper, the cynical doctor... about Toshiko Sato, the delicate technical genius... Lovely PC Gwen Cooper, so heartbreakingly in love with Jack... And you, Ianto Jones, the faithful office fuck... You really are so very, very pretty.” Twiddling with his own wrist device, Ianto’s cell door suddenly popped open. “Come out, pretty office fuck,” Grey said, crooking a finger.

“Come in and get me,” Ianto snapped, unbuttoning his coat and tensing his muscles.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to Learn From the Past, Live For the Future and fourth story in this series. Very exciting story so far and it looks to be action-packed! Of course, first you'll have get through roughly two chapters of heartbreak (so far... I WANT JANTO TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY THROUGH JACK/WILL, TOO!! *bawls*), so here's hoping for good news from that front as the story progresses! So, Janto trying to get Jack pregnant and failing, a person from future TW3 comes to present TW3 via the rift, an enemy of future person (and future TW) follows said future person and starts killing people in the present... Think that's 'bout it for now! *grins*

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This one is another Post-KKBB fic.Characterization is spot on, and I love it when Jack realizes Ianto is jealous. And the shower scene omfg *drools*. PLUS, it has a little Gwen bashing for those of you who don't like Gwen. Well, sort of xD. I love it when Ianto tells Jack about him not being a consolation prize and how Jack just wants to kiss him and hug him but Ianto won't let him. xD Loved the ending, it's really sweet. ^_^
