bluecastleWhile I'm thinking thinky thoughts about who I am as a writer (feel free to chime in if YOU know. I'm not sure I've figured it out) I thought I'd stick a request out there. In the week leading up to mah birfday ... I find myself wanting fics which deal with how/why/when/whyever Ianto 'went gay'/fell in love/came under the influence/decided to sleep with of Jack (actually I guess those are all different fics sort of, but hopefully you know what I mean).
I've read a lot of pretty satisfying post-Cyberwoman fics which deal with the suspension and Jack and Ianto forgiving each other and leading up to the oh so delicious hand-on-shoulder in Small Worlds (which might have been the moment I fell in love with Jack/Ianto, you know. It's so intimate, given all they've just been through).
But have you read/written/do you know of fics that look at Ianto's thoughts etc and his developing "relationship" with Jack? Like ones that really delve into the interpersonal connections between the two, not just 'was it before or after TKKS they started sleeping together?' That's part of it sure. But when and why does this professedly straight guy, with a disabled girlfriend, start to think about Jack as more than a means to an ends. Season One. Season Two? Pre-season? After Myfanwy and those pheremones?
I mean ... WHY Jack? Why is it "just him" ??? Has anyone really really explored this?
If you think you know of fic that apply... drop me a comment. Wouldja?

It's so intimate, given all they've just been through). - while in FL, GDL said that 'small worlds' was originally set before 'cyberwoman' and that the hand-on-the-shoulder scene was added in after they worked out that 'cyberwoman' would actually come before (to me, this means that that particular scene is the only one that really directly deals with 'cyberwoman' and can sort of put the rest of their interaction in a completely different light!)
i'm not helpful, sorry
