Double Drabble - Provider (TW)

[peg22]

 It was bound to happen. Unavoidable, really.

My very first Torchwood fic. Just a double drabble. Since I only dabble.
Could be spoiler-ish. Not really. Just observations by my favorite Tea Boy.

It's Jack/Ianto
Separately so delicious. Together they make fangirls head explode. In a good way.

You’re the one who makes the tea. Which is why you hand him a beer as he brushes by you to lick his wounds in his office. You’re the one who makes the tea because you know when he needs tea. And when he needs a quick snog before the others come crashing through the morning stillness of the Hub. Or when there’s a practical use for a stopwatch. Or a straight man. Certainly an anomaly since everyone knows the one thing Captain Jack Harkness has hardly any use for is a straight man.

 

You’re the one who makes the coffee. Which is why you pull out the bottle of single malt hidden inside the biscuit tin and place it on his desk. You’re also the one who first notices that even though he came back, he’s not all there. Or here. But you know he’s made his decision and you know he’ll never waver from it, even in the darkness of a night that stretches endlessly in front of him. And with his breath ragged against your neck, his hand fisted in your hair, his chest shoving you hard against the wall, you realize you’re also what he wants.

Oh, yes!

This'll do nicely. Those first two lines in particular are dynamite, as is your closer. And it's all so very Ianto.

Off to rewatch "Meat" now... I wonder if they'll let Jack keep his "homoerotic" line when the ep airs on BBC America.

Only the vaguest clue about Torchwood, still waiting for it to show up here. But it matters not with sentences like this: And with his breath ragged against your neck, his hand fisted in your hair, his chest shoving you hard against the wall, you realize you’re also what he wants.

Multi-fandom beckons, petal. Give in and drabble away to your - and our - hearts content..

I wish I liked this show more, because I =love= Captain Jack. But I find the crew they surrounded him with in Torchwood to be largely unlikeable. And I don't like the way the mantle of leadership has siphoned away a lot of Jack's rogueish charm. During so much of the first season he just felt *heavy* to me, weighted down.

But your fic--luscious. It could almost make me a Jack/Ianto fan. ;-)

Very nice drabbles. A lot of emotion in them. Thanks!

he one thing Captain Jack Harkness has hardly any use for is a straight man.

That says it all, doesn't it? Or actually--Captain. Jack does have uses for straight men, straight women, monkeys, small aliens. The man would snog anything.

But only a few people make it into his heart.

Very nice!!
