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: Let Me Kill You Sweetheart
Author:

blackbird_song
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Angst, romance, hurt/comfort
Status: Complete
Length: ~9000 words
Summary: Ianto gets a case of 'flu that forces him to explore the way that he interacts with life, all very much against his will.
Commentary: Oh, alien viruses, how strange can you get? The short answer is "very". The long answer... takes over 9,000 words to accurate describe.

This story is largely about Ianto's struggle to deal with the effects of the virus, but through his befuddled eyes we also get the story of Jack dealing with a virus which inevitably ends in tears.

Status: Oneshot
Length: ~2,600
Warnings: Jack/OFC, post COE, (
Comment or Excerpt from fic: In the interests of full disclosure, yes I did beta this fic but I would have reccomened this fic had I come across it any other way.

This beautiful story is about Jack dreaming of all the people he lost during Series 2 and 3 of Torchwood.

erin_giles' character voices are spot on and I could see all of this as I read it. The first time I read this fic I started crying about half-way through and by the time I got to the end I could barely see what I was reading.

This fic broke my heart, and breaks it again every time I re-read it, but it was bloody worth it.

Author: Otrame (otrame)

Rating: G
Summary: Many years in the future, Jack visits Ianto's grave.
Status: Complete
Length: 894 words
Warnings: Character Death (very past tense)
Comment: You've all heard "the end is where we start from". What you may not have heard is another line from Little Gidding T.S. Eliot penned: "Every poem an epitaph". That is the line that came to me while reading this fic. For something so short, it packs a lot of punch. There's an awful lot of sorrow and grief; there's also acceptance, and grace. There's beauty. I could go on and on about how powerfully touching this fic is until my commentary was longer than it was, but essentially, the reason I found this so memorable is because it's a memorial. Not only to Ianto, but to everything we saw between him and Jack.

Status: Complete
Length: ~12,00 words, 2 parts
Warnings: Series 3 spoilers
Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is an amazing fic that takes place about a thousand or so years from the end of series 3. It's a pretty amazing exploration of the Jack/Ianto connection and, for being as short as it is, delves deeply into the mind of Jack Harkness when it comes to relationships and more specifically his relationship with Ianto. It will make you laugh, cry and all sorts of other things simultaneously.

Word Count: ~ 918
Warnings: multiple Characters deaths
Comment or Excerpt from fic: *sniffles* Another totally heartbreaking fic! *cries*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Jack drank his shot and winced as it burned his throat. It was the sixth he’d consumed and it still burned. It doesn’t get better, he thought morosely, it never fucking gets better. But this was his nights off now. Trolling around in pubs instead of spending his time at home…the home he could no longer bear to step into.

He held up his glass to signal the bartender, then noticed someone looking at him from across the bar. A woman, blonde, smiling at him. She was obviously drunk, but fuck it all, she was cute and Jack needed…he knew what he needed, but he wasn’t going to get that so this woman would have to do.

He approached her, “Hi, I’m…Chris.” Not Jack. She wouldn’t say it right. “You...live around here?” a crap chat-up line he knows, but she doesn’t seem to care. Jack knows how that feels.

Title: Keeping Time
Author:

kerryblaze
Genre: Crossover, angst, hurt-comfort...
Rating: R - sexual situations, and language...
Summary: Jack leaves Torchwood and Ianto behind. Ianto must go on as leader of Torchwood until he dies. Or so he thinks.
Status: WIP
Length: Eight parts, length not specified.
Warnings: Character Death(s), slightly spoilerish for one of the companion novels and both seasons of TW.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: I totally read this whole thing in one sitting. I just - yeah. I can't begin to say how much I'm enjoying it so far. In a nutshell : Jack leaves Torchwood, Ianto is in charge and he's the leader for a while, so he notices someone following him over that time. He's a bit older, but damn if he's not awesome in this one.

Excerpt :
Ianto knocked on the door. He stood back, cleared his throat, straightened his tie, and yanked the hem of his suit jacket down. On the other side of the door, a familiar voice, cheerier than Ianto had ever heard it, called out. "Did you lose your keys again, lover?"

The door opened. Ianto smelt beef cooking and his empty stomach rumbled. Rhys's broad grin faltered when he saw Ianto and not Gwen. He peered behind Ianto's shoulder, looking for her, as a piece of Ianto's heart shattered and died.

"Rhys… I…" His voice cracked. 'Dammit! Hold it together. Be professional.'

Rhys knew. He looked into Ianto's face and knew. He stumbled backwards a few steps and dropped the tea towel that he'd been holding. "No - no. Don't you dare…"

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Another hurt!Ianto fic that brings Ianto’s mortality to the forefront. *sniffles* Ianto’s not dead yet and I’m already bawling my eyes out!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

"You know, we really dodged a bullet today," mumbled Ianto... He was lying... down, head pillowed on Jack's chest... He felt the sharp intake of breath even as Jack's arms tightened around him, almost painful in their grip.

"Don't say things like that."

"... It's true. I could have died... today... And it made me realize that there are some things I need to say..."

"No," said Jack, "We are not having this conversation, not now." A finger on his lips silenced him.

"It's been empirically proven that ignoring an issue is not a successful method of ensuring its failure to occur. Conversely, discussing the matter is not going to make it happen any sooner... Jack, one day I'm going to die, and for a few minutes back there, I thought it was going to be this day. And… All I could think about was how I was going to be leaving you behind with so much unsaid."

Warnings: Smut…
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Ooh, been a while since I’ve read cheating!Jack fics and now’s a good time because I’ve been wanting a reason to be pissed at him after reading Teach’s “Unbreakable.” Since his intentions were good in that fic, I’ve been forced to hold off being pissed at him, so thanks to Abby for an outlet! *grins and hugs* Regardless, I wouldn’t mind seeing Jack begging Ianto for forgiveness…

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

... Jack shrugged his coat off and Ianto pulled away just enough to yank his shirt over his head as Jack quickly unbuttoned his... He groaned as… Ianto’s lips moved bitingly down his jaw, tongue barely touching across his neck and Jack’s head thumped back as Ianto started to suck his pulse greedily, lingering for a second too long and Jack wavered as his head snapped up to look at him. Ianto realised where he had been.

Jack gazed at him and Ianto looked back dangerously, leaned his head into his neck again, inhaled deeply and kissed with a lick as he tasted him before looking back up at him. Jack’s eyes flashed with guilt for a second before glancing away and rerouting, he wouldn’t apologise. Ianto knew he wouldn’t and he knew he wouldn’t because always this - this desperate longing and visits in the night and unspoken words that died on his lips in kisses and staying until morning in Ianto’s bed was apology enough.

Comment or Excerpt from fic:Ianto asked if Jack wanted to come for lunch, and Jack said yes, he did, thank you very much, and so they went to lunch. They went to a small bistro, and ordered sandwiches. While they ate, Ianto asked Jack about his fears of aliens and scary movies. Jack made an embarrassed sound, and shook his head.

"I know they're not real," he said when they sat outside in a small café, trying to explain. "But, I don't know, they just seem so real on the screen, and I just get so into it, like this life..."

He fell quiet, not quite sure what he'd been about to say, but certain he really shouldn't say it.

"Like there should be more to this life?" Ianto suggested.

Jack grinned ruefully.

"Aliens. Maybe," he said and looked up at the sky above.

I love this so much. It's really plotty and interesting, and the interactions between Jack and Ianto are just so sweet. Link to chapter 1 below.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is one of the most gorgeously written fics that I've ever had the pleasure to read... and believe me, I've read a LOT! Taking place slightly before "Exit Wounds," but post-2x09 "Something Borrowed," it starts off with Ianto's body carrying a "foreign entity" (*coughBABYcough*) and what follows are a series of events that're nothing like any mpreg fics I've ever read! Very unexpected! And the twists and turns in this fic just keep you at the edge of your seat!

*starry eyed* I'm in absolute AWE!!

*_______________________________________________________*

I don't have the slightest clue how else to explain this fic other than to urge you to read it yourself, so GO READ!!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

Ianto... froze at the unmistakable sound of Jack's revolver cocking behind him... Ianto slowly raised both hands... and... slowly turned... to look up at Jack... "Jack... What..." What did I do...

"We're not going to hurt you," Jack said... "... You're showing up funny on the scanners, and we need to figure out what's going on before it takes you over or kills you..."

Owen... pointed a hand-held scanner at Ianto's chest, sweeping it slowly downward... "Damn... Definitely something alive in there--pretty small, though. Get it with the singularity scalpel, no trouble..." Owen let out a strange noise then, staring at the scanner... "Haven't seen one... in a long while, but... Homo sap, I reckon."

Ianto blinked at it. "It's human?"

"It's a baby..."

Warnings: spoilers until and post-Torchwood 1x06 "Countrycide," implied: Violence, Abuse (physical), Torture, Non-Con
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Fic dealing with the aftermath of Countrycide when Ianto is forgotten and things are worst than before with the added threat of past betrayal. 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...

EXCERPT:

Ianto Jones was a heavy sleeper. Notoriously so. He had hardly had a poor night’s sleep in his life. At least, that was before he moved to Cathedral Road.

The house was beautiful; classic Victorian Semi-detached, lovingly maintained in its period style. The fireplaces were all original and functioning. It had a pleasant, bijoux garden, spacious kitchen, and a ghost in the attic.

That hadn’t been mentioned in the Home Information Pack.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh this is one of THE most heartbreaking fics I've ever read! It's written in a totally different element, very fantasy-like and very different from any other fantasy~esque Torchwood fics I've ever read. Because of the topic, I was expecting the story to take place in dreamscape because of the fantasy feel, but I was proven wrong... by more than a mile and my heart just broke even more. Very heartwrenching piece where Jack and Ianto are forced apart by out-worldly circumstances.

... I probably just confused everyone with that comment, but... *sniffles**keeps a box of tissue on hand*

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

It’s a lonely planet. It’s five times the size of Earth, but there’s just one kingdom. The rest is landscapes... lush and beautiful... but it goes on forever, and lacks any true sense of life.

... Thunder rumbles... as Jack makes the journey... the storm showing signs of arriving earlier than predicted. Jack doesn’t care. It can rain a monsoon and he’ll stay out here, because he’s never been able to resist heartbreak.

The Garden is beyond the castle walls, a short walk... Jack uses it often, a place to think, surrounded by flowers and babbling brooks and the song of the bird. It’s a small slice of perfect paradise in an otherwise vastly desolate planet and it’s the Garden that makes Jack return to this dull little world every thousand years, because he’s weak and needy and still misses sections of his past when he wasn’t so alone... It’s all he can do, until the right hour when the universes connect for a brief moment in time.

And in Torchwood, the journey of Captain Jack Harkness in one of the more interesting subjects, especially because of his immortality. I can honestly say that when I read this fic, one of the first words in my mind was "Perfect." It's a wonderfully written piece!

EXCERPT:

Jack can still smell the deep scent of black leather wherever he goes.

It’s on him, it’s in him, and it doesn’t matter that he sometimes scrubs himself with so much force he bleeds, he can never get rid of it.

The smell wafts around him like a ghost. It’s a constant reminder of what he lost and it won’t stop haunting him... he’s still tormented by a battered leather jacket and Northern accent even as he dreams...

... but he’s found other reasons to value life, reasons that don’t always include a Time Lord and his blonde Companion, and it’s surprised him... In the still of the night Jack clings to Ianto... as Ianto continues to care for him, and nothing else seems to matter much anymore. Things have changed, people have changed, and Jack has another home now. It’s worlds away from the Blue Box but it’s his, and it just might be enough.

Warnings: spoilers through and post: Doctor Who 4x13 "Journey's End" and Torchwood 2x13 "Exit Wounds"
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Sequel to the above fic. The Doctor coming to Cardiff "just for the hell of it" is suspicious and being the Doctor, the situation is never as simple as it seems... or is it? His arrival gives way to misunderstandings and jealousies between Ten-Martha-Jack-Ianto that more humorous than anything! And Jack's unique way to get to the root of the problem will make more trouble than it's worth!

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

The Doctor... still wasn’t sure why he'd called Jack instead of Martha... He should've called Martha directly... but he'd called and left a message that he wanted to meet with Jack. Of course Martha called him back. He'd pretended to not know she would be there and made arrangements to meet them both for lunch today.

He didn't have a plan, no idea what he was going to say or do. He had nothing beyond the vague idea that he needed to get Martha away from Torchwood –away from Jack. He still didn't even know why he needed to do that. She had chosen to leave him... she needed her own life with someone that could love her... He couldn’t do that... And he didn't want that kind of life with Martha anyway, did he?... Again he felt that surge of…something…course through him... There was a nagging voice in the back of his head telling him he knew exactly what that feeling was... But he was going to ignore that voice. He didn't get jealous, it was ridiculous.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: I remember reading this fic way back and I fell in love with it by the middle of the first chapter! Being hooked on to it ever since, I'm surprised I didn't rec it already! ^^;; Anyway, Jack is forced to attend a U.N.I.T. conference in Scotland... All alone. But before he gets a chance to kill U.N.I.T. in anger, he gets one HELL of a surprise! His trip doesn't look all that boring at all now!

All I can say is that this fic's FUNNY! And CUTE! And ROMANTIC! And just makes me want to swoon!

EXCERPT:

Spending three days at a large estate in the rolling hills of Scotland would have been ideal under any other circumstances, but being forced to attend a U.N.I.T. conference wasn’t Jack’s idea of a good time... His reverie was interrupted... “Ach, there you are Captain... Your Aide asked me to... let you know that he had arrived...”

“My AIDE?” Jack asked, dumbfounded... “Who the hell is passing themselves off as my Aide?”... As Jack strode along the wide corridors, he got angrier and angrier. Bloody U.N.I.T. was always interfering. The last thing he needed was some flunky paper pusher following him around for the next three days... He had barely stepped into his room... when he felt someone pinning him to the back of the door and kissing him with fierce intensity. Light bulbs and fireworks rocketed through Jack’s brain at the same time.

“Ianto, oh Ianto,” Jack whispered against the other man’s mouth.
