TW fic: "Revenge Not Sweet, but Savoury" (Jack/Ianto, PG, 548 words)

[kayliemalinza]

Those of you on my flist will recognize this. I've decided to cut it from the beginning of the Mysterious Sexless NC-17 Jack/Tosh/Ianto fic, so it gets to stand on its own. There's only a few infinitesimal edits here and there

Comments

Buahahaha. How does your brain do this?

I'd say the title is my favourite part (punny!) but the whole thing is. So there.

[kayliemalinza]

Force of habit? idk idk. I'd worry that these fluffy one-shots are becoming de rigeur, but I figure I have enough longer, angstier stuff to give me street cred. Heh. ::imagines ficcers lounging threateningly on street corners and dealing crack to schoolkids::

Pun in the title? Moi? Surely you're making things up. >P

[demotu]

I wouldn't call these fluff, just... modern pastoral with an edge of the existential? Idk either. Your Ianto is such a lovely dark purple, I want to lick him and see if he tastes like pennies.

[kayliemalinza]

I'm sorry, this comment just killed me. See what you did? I'm dead now. Good job, demotu. Good job.

Psst, look at my journal header.

[cirrocumulus]

I am 73.4% sure the next fic I post will be about ducks.

It is slightly creepy that you say this, because I swear I was just driving to Target today and passed a pond by the side of the road that had mallard ducks in it and I immediately thought, "you know, Ianto seems like the kind of person who'd randomly have a fondness for ducks."

SO I APPROVE OF THE DUCKAGE.

Also I still love this story, of course. It's subtextually sweet and pseudo-domestic but in this sort of transient way that is very them, I think.

[kayliemalinza]

It's only creepy if you suspect that I was following you in my car. Which I wasn't. (I was following you on an invisible motorcycle.)

Well, crap, now I want to change my journal header to "my domesticity is transient" but I just changed it a hot minute ago because demotu's getting down with the crazy talk. Why is everyone so pithy today? Sheesh.

[cirrocumulus]

It would actually only be creepy if your invisible motorcycle was somehow equipped with a telepathy device that could read my duck-inspired thoughts. So you could use them for EVIL.

Haha, I should frame this moment of pithiness on my wall!

[kayliemalinza]

Um, it's not "somehow." All invisible motorcycles are equipped with telepathy devices-- it's standard. Are you dumb or something?

Evil is a special feature, though. I'll have to check my manual to see if I got it.

[santousha]

I just love this! it's adorable, not overly fluffy. In character, hilarious and just a joy to read.
This is J/I done right!

[kayliemalinza]

Thanks so much! :D

[electro_club]

You are some kind of genius, you know that, right?
I loved it for a change.

I am 73.4% sure the next fic I post will be about ducks.

Please? =(

[kayliemalinza]

I loved it for a change.
omg omg does that mean you normally *hate* my fic???

::runs away and cries::

idk about the ducks yet, but only because it might get longer.

[electro_club]

I was aiming for irony, but I wasn't very well succeeded, was I?
Sorry. =(

::runsaway and cries::²

[kayliemalinza]

(oh goodness honeybunches I was kidding)

ARE YOU TRYING TO ONE-UP MY RUNNING-AWAY-AND-CRYING??? Oh bish, it is on.

::runs away and cries TIMES TWENTY::

How about jack and ianto play a game of duck, duck, goose, or something like that ;)

[kayliemalinza]

I actually have a draft of the duck fic already, but duck, duck, goose is cute too.

Thanks for commenting!
