A Different Jack

Title: A Different Jack
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Ianto. Mentions of Tosh, Owen, Jack, Gwen and Lisa
Words: 150
Rating: PG - but the darker side.
Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Torchwood.
Spoilers: everything up tp the end of season two.

Gwen was with Rhys; Jack was attending to business so finally Ianto had the time to do what he had so badly needed to do for weeks.

Some would consider it a mistake; foolish. Some would consider it a step back when it looked like he had come so far.

But as he locked his door and removed the battery from his phone he knew it was what he needed to do.

He toyed with the bottle of bourbon in his hands. His father had received one just like it, and there had been one for Lisa. He’d bought numerous ones for his friends at Torchwood One. There had been a couple for himself.

But this bottle was for Tosh and Owen.

This was his night. This was his time. Tonight he would lose himself with a different Jack and for a few precious hours he would feel no pain.

Nice and dark. And who hasnt lost a few hours with that Jack or a cousin thereof.

Thank you. Yeah, I have to admit some of Jack's buddies have stolen time from me.

Can you expand on this pretty please? Would love to see what happens next as this little fic could get quite dark, lovely writing!

Very good and just like Ianto to go about it in such a systematic fashion.

[jooles34.livejournal.com]

Thank you; really glad you think this works for Ianto; even mad things like getting blind drunk would be done at the best time for everyone else and planned to the end.

[mv-girl.livejournal.com]
