Janto Fic Recs!
Just two, but they are both absolute musts.

You've heard of an episode tag? This is The Ultimate Episode Tag and then some. It starts post-Cyberwoman and finishes post-Exit Wounds 66,000 words later. It's all the in between bits between Jack and Ianto that we've all wondered about, and so much more. It's absolutely beautiful, with a perfect balance of angst and romance, plot and character study, canon and fanon. Seriously stop whatever you are doing and read this right now.

Remember the DW season 1 episode Boom Town with Captain Jack, and the Slitheen trying to meltdown Cardiff's powerplant? Now, imagine Captain Jack never went on to be part of Torchwood. Imagine Suzie Costello running Torchwood. Now imagine Ianto leaving Torchwood One before the battle of Canary Wharf and transfering to work for Suzie. Now imagine Ianto became suspicious of this supposed power plant ... See where I'm going with this? Now as I've stated before, I'm not a fan of AUs, but this is fabulous and fun and my goodness I'm damn well going to go and read it again right this minute. There's a lot of angst in the TW fandom and this has none of that, instead showing us a completely untainted Jack and Ianto.
