"There were four," Owen said to Ianto, his breath coming quickly after the long chase on foot. He turned in a slow circle, keeping his gun aimed at the shadows. "Where's the fourth?"

"I lost it," Tosh answered, baffled, from the Hub. "I'm going through all the nearby CCTV footage." She paused and Ianto could hear the steady taptaptap of her ( Read more... )

there's no sign of the morning coming
you've been left on your own
like a rainbow in the dark"They'll come around," he told her gently. Because they would. They had to. This was a hope he still clung to, and now he would tell himself it was for Toshiko's sake ( Read more... )

Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved."I'm sorry about your car," said Jack, his voice disconnected ( Read more... )

Ianto clicked his tongue, the sound echoing through the empty Hub.

"Come here, girl," he called.

Reasons why Ianto Jones needs a therapist.
(or, how I learned to stop worrying and steal shamelessly from thetenspot)1. "Post-traumatic stress," the American says over his shoulder, to someone else Ianto can't see.

He has so many people to miss. He thinks sometimes that he should set up a rota, make a list, set aside nights to mourn; one for his father, one for cousin Rhodri killed by a drunk driver when Ianto was a teen, the rest for Lisa and the eight hundred people who died the night she should have-- and one for Suzie ( Read more... )
