I love this! I was really surprised there weren't more completely AU fics from this prompt LOL I'd love to see what happens next *winks*

Oh, thank you so much! I <3 AUs, so the bunny snapped at me.

I don't think I'll be doing the SGA one, since I don't know the fandom AT ALL, but I love the picture. You're going to get lots of "Jack stormed in yelling, Ianto at his heels" bits from that one!

*laughs* That's okay, there are a couple of the requested cross-over fandoms that I've never even watched.

Ooh I like, any chance of a continuation?

gracie_musica March 2 2010, 22:57:14 UTC

I don't think so, this one seems to be tidy and contained. But who knows?

Thanks for reading!

Very cute story and I love by chance meeting.

gracie_musica March 2 2010, 23:00:42 UTC

Thank you!

(I am working on the Idris Auction Fic as soon as I'm done playing comment catch-up. I have it plotted)

luvinthe88and20 March 2 2010, 23:09:25 UTC

ooh awesome. So than my Sarah Jane in verse would be next because Idris was Teach.

gracie_musica March 2 2010, 23:12:34 UTC

Yes! Yours is actually almost done. One more scene left. Well, two. Well, one transitions into two. You get my point.

Aww! That definitely seems like a Ianto thing to do, comforting a stranger. :)

Wonder if Jack's ever successful in tracking Ianto down? ;)

gracie_musica March 3 2010, 03:46:13 UTC

It does, doesn't it? He's a sweet person, even despite Torchwood.

Ooh, you write it and tell me if he does! *grins*

Ianto sighed as he re-read the letter from his family. He knew that they did not approve of his 'lifestyle' but to actually put it in writing made his heart break even more.

He jerked back from his seat as a large hand reached in front of him, holding a take-away cup.

"It's hot cocoa. Their coffee does taste like shite. So girlfriend dump you also?"

"Um, thanks. No, my family does not approve of my life." Ianto forced a smile on his face as he recognized the man he had brought cocoa to recently.

"Damn. I hate when that happens. I guess you might need something stronger. I know this cute little pub down the road a bit. Let me buy you a drink and you can tell me all about your life." Jack held out his hand towards Ianto who grabbed it tightly.

"I'd like that if you let me buy dinner and you can tell me all about your life."

"It's a date!"

*melts just a little* That sounds so much better than anything I could ever write. Mine would sound worse than a "Dick & Jane" book. lol That's why I stick to reading. :D

OH this is a nice change from everything else. Really lovely job!

gracie_musica March 3 2010, 03:37:49 UTC

Thank you! I loved everyone else's fics, but I really wanted to do something different. :) I'm glad that you liked it.
