only fools fall by transjackianto (jackianto, lisaianto | complete | 182,645 | M)

“Oh my god,” he gasps out when his laughter has died down to softer chuckles, “I am so glad I stuck around to hear that.  Thank you Jack, I needed to laugh today. Now if you’ll excuse me,” he pushes back from the table for the third time but Jack stops him again with a hand over his own. It is a softer touch than before and that unnerves Ianto more than anything.

He looks up, terrified he’s going to see some kind of earnest emotion on Jack’s face.  When he finds Jack looking instead like he swallowed a handful of pins he relaxes. He’s not sure he could handle finding out Jack had some kind of ridiculous unrequited crush on him.

“I know,” Jack groans, dropping Ianto’s hand and letting his head thunk against where his arms are crossed on the table, “I want to punch myself just for saying it, but I mean it Ianto. I need you to be my boyfriend.”

Aka, Ianto just wants to make it through his summer as a newly single sixth form graduate and eagerly await the end when his ex comes back from her summer trip and they can reunite.

His ex-friend Jack Harkness throws a wrench into the works.

can you see me now? by liaunderpressure !! its a gwen/tosh au where tosh is in love with gwen instead of owen <3

Can you see me now by liaunderpressure (GwenTosh | WIP | 1537 | G)

Now turned around, Tosh got her first proper look at Gwen. She’d seen her police ID photo, but that did her no justice. The real Gwen was gorgeous; porcelain skin and pitch black hair and the greenest green eyes she’d ever seen. Her face was delicate but determined and strong, the confused expression making her all the more adorable. Wait- oh no. This was about to become a slightly trickier case. She wouldn't enjoy the part where Jack wiped her memory. Gwen Cooper was someone Tosh would like to see again.

Torchwood au where Tosh falls in love with Gwen instead of Owen. Basically a load of self indulgent

The Stars Might Stick You Where You Stand by methylethyl (jackianto | complete | 20,394 | Explicit)

Following the fall of Torchwood One, Jack Harkness went to ask Torchwood Three for a job. He didn’t expect to fall a little bit in love with its director, the practical and ever-calm Ianto Jones. He also probably didn’t expect that Ianto Jones would end up holding the answers to his most precious secret.
