do not go gentle by someawkwardprose (jackianto, lisaianto | complete | 17,793 | M)

His hands were shaking. Lisa was dead.

He fished out his lighter from his coat (the nice peacoat Yvonne had bought him for Christmas, year before last) and opened a window. Lit a fag with trembling fingers. Lisa was dead. They’d killed her, the whole bloody team, and he hated them.

Lisa was dead, and he wasn’t.

He watched the smoke twist and curl, dancing out of the open window and into the night.

*** or, Broken, if Ianto Jones hadn't stepped into the Ferret.

Inside My Mind (Trying To Get Things Right) by cxptained (Owen&Jack | Complete | 2,7K | PG-13)

People always say they can feel anxiety creeping up their chest.

Owen has no clue what they’re going on about. His anxiety has never creeped. It’s never crawled. It’s never moved slowly in its life.

It’s taken him by the lungs before. It’s grasped them so tightly and so suddenly he thought they might burst. He’s choked on it as it shot down his throat and into the pit of his stomach like a foreign substance his body should reject.

But never has it creeped.

-----------

Owen Harper has anxiety. No one causes that anxiety worse than his mother. Luckily, Jack Harkness is there.
