Why this must be read: Subtitled Or, five people Ianto slept with after Jack left, this fic is about Ianto dealing with Jack's leaving in the series 1 finale. But it's no "magical healing power of sex" story: Jack's presence is felt throughout like a missing center. The whys of who Ianto sleeps with is the more important element than the hows.

I love this complicated, sexy Ianto, the humor throughout--capturing Ianto's quiet snark is no easy thing--and any fic that has Ianto/Doctor gets an automatic win from me.


It doesn't need to be good sex; it just needs to be somebody who isn't Jack. This club is full of horny students, and Ianto likes the idea of pulling someone younger, someone who thinks they know what it's all about but doesn't really. He knows he looks like a student himself, and that's fine; only another facade between him and the world, another way of being something other than what they see. White t-shirt, old jeans worn thin at all the right places, turning him into someone approachable. Thanks to Jack Ianto knows what to look at in a man's body. How to make himself something men want to look at.
