Why this must be read:
This story takes place just after Ianto has been hired. I love Owen here, and his view on Ianto. The characterization is just right for this moment in the time-line. I love how Owen interacts with Ianto, and how they are both just a little bit messed up.
This was the first Ianto/Owen story I read, and it cemented my love for this pairing.
There’s no denying that Ianto Jones is both extremely competent and extremely good-looking, but there is also no denying that he jumps at practically every noise and his hands are not exactly steady. Owen would expect no less from a man who, around a week ago, was caught up in a Cyberman attack at his previous place of work (for God’s sake, the Battle of Canary Wharf was so recent that Ianto still has stitches in his jaw from what was apparently a very narrow escape). However, he wouldn’t expect someone who’d only just avoided being turned into a metal serial killer to come straight back to work. For one thing, if it were Owen, he’d be claiming as much paid holiday as possible while he ‘recuperated’, regardless of whether he needed it or not; he wouldn’t be eagerly running to brand new employment.
It’s not the action of a man in his right mind.
