Ianto awoke to what felt like an attack from a giant octopus. He felt an enormous weight lying on top of him, limbs twisting and wrapping around his body, and suckers moving against his neck and latching on firmly. But it wasn’t until he felt something moving inside the bottom of his shirt, up along… View Post
Jack’s eyes widened and his lips parted in shock as he realised Ianto had heard his conversation with Gwen and when he saw the furious look cross Ianto’s face, he didn’t hesitate. He turned his head around to the side and called out urgently. “GWEN!” “What?” Gwen’s impatient voice came from a distance. They heard… View Post
Unusually for him, Jack hadn’t found himself a tall building to stand on top of. He was in fact currently standing across the road from his grandson’s school, watching him from a distance. Jack did this from time to time, just checked in to see how Steven was growing up, how he was getting on.… View Post
Hours later, and after exhausting the Hub’s entire hot water supply, Ianto and Jack finally dragged themselves out of the shower. A supposedly quick shower to wake themselves up properly had soon turned into an invigorating “Round 2” that returned the two men back to the hot and sweaty state that had led them to… View Post
Given that the team had worked throughout the night and it was now actually morning, it wasn’t really a case of letting them go early, it was more a case of just getting them all the hell out of there. Preferably sooner than later. When Ianto had finished with Max’s body, he raced back upstairs… View Post
Ianto straightened his tie. Tonight, one way or another, this would end. He had decided to tell Jack about Lisa. Tanizaki was due, but if Jack could – would – help, Tanizaki could be sent away. Ianto and Jack had grown closer lately, and with Jack’s knowledge about everything, there was no way they could… View Post
Ianto, Jack and Owen gathered around Tosh, who was sitting at her workstation, as they assessed their current situation. “Everything’s gone. The computers, mobile coverage, lifts, everything. We’re sealed in.” Tosh looked up at Ianto helplessly. “If Suzie set up the lockdown, how did she do it?” “Entered an override?” Owen suggested. “No, she’s officially… View Post
Eleven Months Earlier Owen stormed into the Hub, complaining about being wet and cold and how he was never doing that again, no matter who told him to, and bollocks to how important it was. Jack followed closely behind, an enormous grin on his face, clearly amused by Owen’s ranting. He was carrying a container… View Post
Two unknown dark-haired women were driving in a car, speeding down a long, empty road in the endless darkness. Maybe they were driving towards a hospital, maybe they were escaping from something one of them had done. The driver, who was somehow now Gwen Cooper, turned and smiled. “A bit more colour in your cheeks,”… View Post
When the committee was first formed in 1879, there were originally eleven members. After a short while, two members in particular had impressed the Crown that much with their ability to get things happening that they were soon elevated to be senior members. Unbeknown to anyone else the two of them had a hidden agenda.… View Post
Out of all the thoughts that had flown through Tosh’s mind over the last couple of days – be they those of her own or those of others – none were more frantically bewildering than those that started swirling about her head while Suzie was kissing her. And then when to her surprise, she found… View Post
As a young man growing up on the Boeshane Peninsula, Jack Harkness had lived his life to the fullest, and the unofficial adage of the 51st century of “So many species, so little time” seemed to have been created with Jack in mind. Growing up without the guidance of his father, who had died the… View Post
Ianto woke the next morning to find that he had a very sore neck and that he was alone in the Hub. After talking for many hours throughout the night, both he and Jack had eventually fallen asleep on the sofa. Sometime later, Jack had apparently woken and placed a blanket from his bed over… View Post
By the end of Jack’s suspension, Ianto was relieved to find that his recurring nightmares of Lisa rampaging through the Hub seemed to have faded away for good. He still had his fair share of nightmares, just as he’d had throughout his entire life, but there were no more of the terrifying nightmares that woke… View Post
Jack got back up to the Plass and stopped, temporarily at a loss. 110 years of either being imprisoned in or living in the Hub, 110 years of waiting to find out what he needed to know so that he could be free, and now that he was suddenly cut off from it all, he… View Post
When they heard the big gun go off, and were sure the Cyberwoman had been destroyed, the rest of the team came out cautiously from their various hiding places. They stood around the edges of the main Hub area, nobody exactly sure of what to do next. None of them were comfortable looking at Ianto… View Post
