I haven't watched any of the Brotherhood movies. Since reading this, I've looked up your site and started reading all of them.
I adore these fics. There's one line in Lost Weekend about Dan and Chris and about Dan waking up with Chris getting ready to bite him (and I'm paraphrasing) and that made me laugh out loud. I'm glad no one was around for me to have to explain what I was laughing at.
I watched Torchwood last night and it just about finished me off. There really are no words to describe how I felt while watching it. But it was the best 2 hours of television I've seen in a long long time. Amazing stuff.
It was fantastic. I was so nervous to watch it that I almost didn't, but everyone was talking about it and I was already starting to get spoiled by accident, so I did, and I am very, very glad. Ungh. Still can't form coherent sentences about it, but I loved it.
I still don't know how I feel about Jack/Ianto. I think beause I'd like some kind of reasoning behind it other than RTD going "omgzslashy!". It was just... I don't know, it appearred jarringly, so I'm still getting used to it. Plus, I really want Ianto to take a break and go away all heartbroken and bastardy, and meet up with Sarah Jane and kill bad aliens. Well, he'd do the killing, she's be all "There is another way, oh noez!" and he'd be like, "Stfu, life *hurts*", and it would be wonderful.
Oh, you poor thing, you fall for even more impossibly rare pairings than *me*. I didn't think that was possible.
Seriously, though, I know exactly what you're saying, and I agree. I am so worried for Ianto, because Owen was right, he's just Jack's part-time shag, and no matter how often Jack kisses him, or in front of who, he's never going to be central in Jack's life. No one is central in Jack's life but Jack. And it worries me, his going off with the Doctor and leaving them all right after he was resurrected, so I have to worry all hiatus now about when he'll come back and what he'll have broken with his thoughtlessness.
But if this is the impetus Ianto needs to go evil and try to take over the world, well, so be it. That would certainly be an exciting turn of events.
This is why I shouldn't get involved in TV fandoms. We all know I can't handle it.
I *know*. ::is mournful:: And I can't find any fic, so that means *I* have to do it, and that means it'll be terrible and everyone will hate the pairing and never write it again, omg!
You know what got me? Jack leaving without a word, because selfish as he is, he wouldn't just leave like that because he knows what it feels like to be the one left behind. Which makes me think that something big is going on in Who-land. Because if it was a friendly little visit, there would have been all the "Hey, new face!" and "Hey, you're immortal! Can I have my hand back now, you creepy man?" and Jack would have shown the Doctor off to all his friends and everything, all beamy-happy and "This is my boyfriend, lolz!!!". And instead there was, like, three seconds for the TARDIS to appear, nab Jack, and go away again. WHAT.
Mmmm, evil Ianto. Pretty.
Dude. You have forty years worth of backstory to get involved with. Go watch and spazz delightedly.
I KNOW. And my library system owns videotapes of old Who, so I don't even have to buy them yet. Should I start right at the beginning? It's all so daunting.
You would write beautiful angry!fuckedup Ianto/Sarah Jane and the whole internets would be all, "God, it's so perfect! But it cannot be written any better so I won't even try." Big compliment, but not much fun to be the only one playing in the playground.
I take your point about Jack and I think (hope) you're right. I don't like to think of him as *that* selfish, but come on, it's not like the Doctor has been going around pining for him, so clearly there's a reason he seeks Jack out. I can't wait to find out what it is.

And I'm refraining from reading the first part because I just downloaded and started watching Torchwood today. Should be done in a few days, though.
