Why this must be read:

[livejournal.com profile] adina_atl’s story has a fabulous opening line (“The first time Ianto spotted Jack microwaving his greatcoat, he ignored it: it didn't threaten Lisa, couldn't help her”) and a brilliant explanation — beautifully fleshed out in [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge’s prequel — for one of Torchwood’s minor mysteries: how does Jack get away with wearing “irreplaceable antique clothing while chasing through brambles and over fences after inimical aliens with sharp claws”?
