Title: I Heard A Whisper (The Way I Might Have Been)
Author: such_heights
Rating: standard
Length: 10,000 words, one-shot
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Jack/Ianto, +Team, +DW cast
Genre/Category: adventure, romance
Warnings: none
Spoilers: DW S4, TW S2
Summary: The whole world's in danger, if Ianto's to believe the bloke who's showed up claiming to be his time-travelling parallel universe boyfriend. It's the start of a funny old week.
Why you should read it: If I were to quote some of my favorite lines from this fic, we'd be here all night. Suffice it to say, such_heights writes these characters with a deft and delicate hand, capturing all the voices perfectly, and with so much affection and humor that reading this story is a really joyous experience, despite the notes of dark and pathos that hover in the background -- well, it is Torchwood after all. If it didn't have a little angst, it wouldn't be right, would it? I'm a big fan of sweetness that never turns saccharine, and this story provides that in spades. In this Turn-Leftian take on the Torchwood 'verse, we see what would have happened if Ianto Jones, ordinary bloke, had never come to work for Torchwood. The consequences are, of course, disasterous. But don't worry! Jack and the Doctor are on hand to fix it, and that always works out smoothly... doesn't it?
