The Wedding sticking strictly to Jack and Ianto has four segments. The pre-wedding flirt, Ianto showing he's not just Jack's Boy by backing up Owen, the telling "shut up Gwen getting married" car fight and the dance. First two are straight forward. The fight in the car is about Jack unresolved feelings for Gwen and Ianto being sick of it, but its time to work and that topic is on hold you know until the Dance. Unlike others i assume Jack doesn't have time to go out and have random hookups, not when there really isnt a need to so the only threat to Ianto's relationship with Jack is Gwen (Jack's list of things to do while she's gone goes in the Gwen Meta also). Cutting into the dance and snubbing Gwen has two purposed one to save them from themselves and the other is to publicly claim Jack and remind both of them she's married now. Also probably spite, I'd be pissed. There is also a third idea, that this isn't work this is personal.
Most of Adrift is the Gwen Meta to come later, if only posted for Astarte's sake. Its also about how Ianto has grown in the group that Ianto is the one that Jack will listen to no longer Gwen. Its a Gwen issue not them. Though we get the pretty scene interrupted by Gwen and Ianto going against Jack, its not about them personally, it about them professionally.
In Fragments (the present) and Exit Wounds Ianto looks like the one that keeps them professional while at work and Jack is the one that breaks it, the small hand over heart thing just after Gwen leaves and then pulling him into the hug after getting him out of the cell its the smaller things.
And, ah, Doctor Who actually once again gave us insight into them, more then I suspected they would. "The Solider in the bar" Ianto called him on it but didn't actually seem worried and dropped it in light of "Fuck the Earth has been stolen" more important matters. Later with the Doctor and Jack's double take, that was actually jealousy on Ianto's part and Jack knows it. So to correct above the Gwen's wasn't the only threat to Ianto, the Doctor is, but since they keep saying the Doctor wont be in Torchwood its not really an issue there lol. I can't tell if Jack's just surprised or upset by the idea. I'm just assuming it was bad editing and music that lead to Jack seemingly obvious to abandon them only for them to die. I just assume Ianto and Gwen were hiding it from him, so he didn't have to watch them die and Ianto's smile kinda gives it away.
But that ends the meta and where they are we don't know. And though i love have to put all this effort into my meta... I just want to know if I'm right damn it! Also I'm blaming Astarte for the length of this edited response. She encouraged it, even though she'll deny it. and sorry. I think this rant/meta was dying to come out and it might as well be here. lol.
glad you liked the vid and it helped you understand them better *runs away and hides*
sure. I may end up cleaning this up and posting it again anyway. But staying up all night gets me going and rambling... sorry. I think it was to many story analysis classes in college.
