Tortured by the Master with lie after lie, fiction after fiction, he tries to piece together the truth and cling to scraps of hope that they might still be alive.

Fourty-two Weeks by Eudoxia (JackIanto | complete | 4575 | M)

The Picture of Javic Thane by thirteeninafez (JackIanto, Team | Complete | 22,392 | T)

The painting was an old Victorian portrait, showing a man sitting in an almost throne-like chair, posture perfect and facial expression stoic. Deep colours swirled from brilliant brush strokes, perfectly capturing the image it was displaying. It took Ianto a second to realise that the figure in the maroon, nearly purple suit (and matching bow-tie) was in fact the same man that was currently holding the painting in the Hub. “That’s what came through the Rift?” Ianto asked incredulously, trying to ignore the smile that was tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets." (Andre Malraux)

Worship by bravetosh ( JackIanto | Complete | 3812 | E )

“I meant what I said before,” Jack almost whispered, and Ianto looked over at him. “About offices?” Ianto tried to smile, tried to pretend he wasn’t terrified of what Jack might be about to tell him. “No.” Jack gave a strained little smile of his own. “About coming back for you.” Jack tells Ianto where he's been. Ianto does what he can.
