he is dashing, you have to give him that.
In the middle of all my being-rubbish and being-busy, I somewhat bizarrely ended up writing Torchwood fic. Why? Well, I...don't know. It's a show of dubious quality, and I'm sure there's more than enough fic out there, but I had The Urge for some reason and it just sort of happened. OH WELL. (Apologies for the lack of Tosh, by the way - that's

They Grip the Ground
Quote: "I am a tree," Owen said, creeping forward. "Fuck. Fuck. I am a harmless little tree walking towards you, and you don't care, because I am a tree."
Negotiations
Quote: Ianto had to admit, he'd been almost relieved when John turned on them. John was a bit too attractive, and the way he looked at Jack set Ianto's nerves on edge. Quite clearly undressing him with his memory, as well as his eyes.
Moving In
Quote: Ianto swore, under his breath, in Welsh.
Jack immediately made it his mission to elicit that response as often as humanly possible.
Worship The Trousers That Cling To Him
Quote: The next day Ianto finds a shiny new espresso-machine in the coffee station. It has a big red bow on it and a card that says “For Ianto! Others, do not touch!” Naturally, it has also been covered in fingerprints by other members of the team, whose usual response to something shiny and forbidden is to fondle it a lot.
Death Note
(spoilers for the end of Season 2)
Quote: Seventeen syllables wasn’t a lot really, if you thought of what he’d written down with just four dates. Two entire lives.
Graphophilia
Quote: Jack Harkness has a very strong sense of narrative causality, which is why he occasionally broods on rooftops in the wind. It's not because he's incredibly vain, whatever Owen may say. And Ianto. And Gwen. And Henrietta. And Alex. And Claude. And, if he's honest, Martha, and Rose, and the Doctor, and John, and … most of the people he's met in his long adult life. No, it's due to his finely-tuned sense of cinematic appropriateness, not his overwhelming vanity. His overwhelming vanity is responsible for him spending £50 on hair products every month, though.
Trying to Communicate
Quote: "There's a cat," Ianto said. "On my back."
"Hello moggie!" Owen said. "Where'd you come from?"
"IM IN UR BASE -- "
"And it's talking."
" -- SITTIN ON YANTOE."
(No, seriously. If you read nothing else on this list, I highly recommend this one. XD)
All the Dishes Rattle In the Cupboards When the Elephants Arrive
(Or 5 Ways Ianto Might Have Met the Doctor, in Chronological Order)
Quote: "I can't believe there isn't an easier way to break up with Jack than this?" the Doctor says, light and joking, as if it means nothing. "Surely you don't really need to fob him off on someone else?"
Ianto shakes his head but he doesn't look away from the stars. "You live in a time machine. If Jack wanted to visit me, he could still do it. If he was very careful about when he turned up, I'd barely notice he was gone."
"He'd live most of his life away from you."
"Jack's going to live most of his life away from me anyway. It's that pesky living forever thing."
Five complaints that Ianto Jones has thought about registering concerning Torchwood (and one that he did)
Quote: Ianto shifted and tried to keep from flushing by sheer power of will, shooting Jack a reproachful glance. Yes, fine, soon. Now behave yourself, will you?
Jack’s grin was pure triumph.
“You know,” Owen remarked to nobody in particular, “It’s truly a sad day when I’m the only one in the room thinking about work.”
First Day
Quote: "Ianto Jones. I hired him last night after he almost got me killed by a pterodactyl. Good times."
