Highlander/Torchwood (NC-17)
Title: Pas de Trois
Pairing: Methos/Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones

Why this must be read: A. Lanart's Mystery 'verse began as a way for Jack to learn how to be an immortal (lower case "i" intentionally.) and evolved into a complex universe that followed the Torchwood canon 'verse, with the addition of Methos. Unlike most fics that cross with Torchwood, Methos doesn't join Torchwood; instead, he visits periodically as friend and lover. It also turns out that Ianto used to be a Watcher, though is presumed dead at Canary Wharf - something that is tangentially important for one of the most sensual scenes in this. Pas de Trois is my favorite of the series and for something that is mostly a PWP, it also holds a lot more. This is the fic that starts the Ianto/Jack/Methos as lovers relationship. What is lovely about this, is the lovely complexity of emotion from all three. By this time, Jack has separate relationships with Methos and Ianto; the decision to add Ianto to the Jack/Methos relationship does not feel forced. You can read this without reading the rest of the 'verse, but the whole 'verse is well worth a read.
