Fic rec: Torchwood: A Sweeter Oblivion by the-silver-sun
Spoilers: "Exit Wounds".
What do you get when you find a fic called A Sweeter Oblivion which is deliciously smutty and still breaks your heart? You get a fic rec and a good one. This takes place after Exit Wounds, and explores how much Jack needs to find some peace and how hard it is for him to do that. Every tremble in this fic is tied down to its emotional center, which is no mean feat when you're writing sex like this stuff. Really you should all go read it now and be blown away just like I was.
It had been Jack who’d taught Ianto how to lose himself entirely in physical sensation. Jack who’d had taught him to live in the moment, to be able to surrender himself, and in that surrender find a freedom he’d thought never to ever feel again. Slowly, Ianto knows, Jack has been teaching him to be able to do the same for him.
