Why this should be read:Because it shows the brutal genesis of fandom's favourite pairing in its favorite context (hurt/comfort) without sentimentality, maudlin and OOC characterization. Because Jack is as harsh and angry as he should be under the circumstances, and yet, in spite of that, he's not without compassion. And there's the dark, unsettling suggestion that Jack and Ianto are more alike than anyone thought. My hat's off tojulad .
Ianto lapses into dumb obedience, allowing himself to be guided back in the bed, covered, and wrapped in Jack's arms.
"You don't have to be nice to me," he whispers, almost derisive.
Jack laughs quietly against the back of his neck. "You don't know me," he says darkly. "You don't know the things I've done." He presses his lips to Ianto's clammy skin. "But you would have destroyed the world to get back something you lost, so you know me better than I thought."
