Title: "If It's Not Love Then It's The Bomb That Will Bring Us Together"
Disclaimer: Being a bloke who likes to slash pretty men doesn't make me RTD, I don't work for the BBC, and as much as I might like to, I don't own Jack or Ianto or any part of Torchwood. I do, however, order pizza under that name on principle.
Pairings: Overall: Ianto/Andy, Jack/Ianto, Jack/Ianto/Andy, with occasional guest cameos.
Rating: Series ranges from relatively safe to hard NC-17. This one is in the PG-ish range.
Notes/Summary: Part #35 of the "It'll End In Tears" cluster. Thanks to sanginmychains and resourceress for giving this the sweet, hot beta-fu over and over. References 2x13. Title is from "Ask" by the Smiths.

Also, I've sort of held off mentioning this, but love_jackianto did me an awesome cover for IEIT. Seems the sort of thing one should unveil when the final installment goes up, no?

( Jack had found him readily enough, though Ianto was pretty certain that using the Hub’s security system to do it was unfair. )

FYI: As noted in a meta post, I'm breaking up the ending a little more than originally planned. We're now looking at 33 or 34 installments. Sorry about that.

( The vicious, man-eating alien is not, in Ianto’s view at least, the most remarkable thing about Gwen’s wedding. )

Notes/Summary: Part #23 of the "It'll End In Tears" cluster. However, I'm doing the prompt table equivalent of taking a Mulligan and taking advantage of those lovely Author's Choice prompts I've got sitting around. Don't worry, though. We'll be back to the given prompts with #24. Thanks to sanginmychains, demotu, and resourceress for giving this the sweet, sweet beta-fu.

( Andy isn’t necessarily complaining at being sprawled on the edge his sofa, just shy of falling-down pissed with a girl whose name is still a little unclear (Emma? Emily?), but it’s Trav who dragged him out to go drinking, and Trav who introduced them, and like all things Trav-related, Andy is expecting it to go pear-shaped at some point. )

Have I mentioned recently that I'm not dead?

Thanks to sanginmychains and resourceress for giving this the sweet, sweet beta-fu. This one's been a long time coming, not least because the time between mid-July and early September this year basically kicked my ass. Thank you all for being patient with me.

( Ianto stares past the ghost of his face in the glass. )
