"Ianto, Earl of Cardiff" by gilascave (PG)

[blog-of-cool.livejournal.com]

Hello, all!  I'm Maggie, and I'll be driving the Whoniverse van this month!  I must admit, I don't actually have my license yet, so if you notice any glaring errors such as not using my turn-signal, failing to tag properly, etc. please feel free to speak up!  (Yes, I know, far too many exclamation points.  I'm just a bit excited, is all.)  I tend to read mostly Torchwood and Sarah-Jane-Adventures fic, so that's what's mainly on the horizon.  I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I did!

Why this must be read:

This is a fairly old fic, which means it's since been horrendously, horrendously Jossed, but it's still one of my absolute favorite fan-created Ianto backstories.  It's a bit crack-tastical, as the author hirself admits (am unsure of ze's gender, so using neuter), but absolutely amazing.  It explains so much!  Set pre-series, the team finds out that Ianto Jones is more interesting than they first suspected.

Excerpt: "So are you telling me that Tea-boy was raised by primitive alien librarians?"
