a week or two ago there was this epic Hockey Game...
Calgary vs. Dallas.
My Team Vs
magikalrhiannon's
We went into OT after Dallas came back from a 3-0 lead to tie it up. I told her we needed to make a bet. If Calgary Won she'd write Anything in Torchwood universe, if Dallas won I'd make her some Torchwood Icons/other fanart.
OT came and went with no goal and we went into a
Shootout where the Flames were VICTORIOUS!!!! 2-1 \o/ I WIN!
so she owed me a victory fic of choice. I hummed and hawed thinking of a prompt for days. I wanted her to write something AU.
AU/future!fic - Centuries have passed since Ianto disappeared through the rift (Episode Adrift references... that can be how it starts if you'd like..) and Jack has lived a thousand lives since then. Hes lost all hopes of Ianto ever returning to him.
Jack takes up a Job working as a professor in a university on some planet teaching Earth History (or whatever you'd like) and who walks in but his new Transfer student... Ianto Jones.
Inato looks the exact same. Jack looks a bit older (obviously) Jack is floored, speechless, cannot believe his fucking eyes when he sees Ianto sit down for his first lecture.
Ianto Doesn't remember anything of his life before he went through the rift. but once he sees touches Jack (probably innocently.. like shaking his hand or something) it all come flooding back.
Jack tells Ianto how he spent centuries looking EVERYWHERE, Every Galaxy, every planet for him.
Ianto is his student. so extra EXTRA cookies for Student/Teacher dynamic
oh and have Jack wear glasses.
she took this not so simple prompt, and transformed it into this masterpiece.

Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Summary: What happens if Ianto is taken by the rift, and Jack can't give up the hunt for him?
Where to begin. Where to begin.
I know I don't have a lot of TW fans on my flist. but if you are a fan, watch the show, love Jack/Ianto READ THIS FIC. RIGHT NOW. you will not be disappointed.
I can't even begin to describe what I felt while reading this story. It is so beautifully done. The happiness, the pain, the sheer and utter grief.
Even though it is AU, it is still very VERY much canon (save a few things.)
There is angst like WHOA, but its bodes well with the whole story and if very much in character. The places she takes Jack, I never want to have to see him go through this kind of thing EVER again *snuggles Jack* & did I mention its HOT LIKE BURNING. She found the kink button and just kept pressing it over and over until her finger was sore.
GO READ IT. NOW.
Thank you bb for this amazing story *hugs*
