I love that not even Jack can figure Jack out. *snickers* The only thing that is clear is that Jack loves Ianto more than he has loved anyone else and would do anything for him. Which is the way it should be. This was a really sweet chapter. Although I was driving myself nutso at first trying to figure out what exactly it was that the Torchwood Team saw Ianto and Jack doing in Jack's Office on the CCTV. *grins*.
Jack is a very complicated man. LOL. But at least he does have it pretty clear he does want to be with Ianto because he loves him like he never loved anyone in his entire life.
And I guess Jack’s confusion is -mostly- due having lived in so many, different centuries. From the future, to the past, to the present, times changed a lot, so he wants to do things right for Ianto, because he loves him and obviously wants him happy.
He married before, but he didn’t believe in it much, but he wanted the women he married to be ´respectable´ and all. Now with Ianto, he has the choice and he goes like, Hmmm, I didn´t quite see the point, but it is quite romantic... LOL
And poor Ianto, who is a little drunk goes all confused trying to figure out Jack.
Oh, I guess I would have being wondering too if I wouldn´t have written this, I didn´t notice that X-D
But like I said, Jack. Romantic at <3 He did ask Gwen, if Rhys had proposed in one knee, can´t see him doing less himself

I've been enjoying this series very much and this chapter is no exception. I have to chime in with GW and say I'm not quite clear on what the team saw on the CCTV. I'm waffling on whether or not Jack does want a ceremony-but I'm clear-I'd LOVE for them to get married. I'm sorry this is almost over and now that you've set up this AU I hope you plan to write more in it.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the story, I had a very good time writing it, even though it was a bit challenging, because it is from Jack’s POV. (I mostly write Ianto´s POV)
And this is what Gwen and Co saw...
"So, you propose, on one knee, give him the ring and you’re not going to go along with the rest?” She enquired looking at Jack pointedly.
I probably wasn’t clear enough when I wrote it down. *hides* Heh.
What Jack wants, is to make Ianto happy. No more no less, the ceremony thing is something that confuses Jack because for him is not a big deal, but is like- his beliefs as to what really matter, (their love) clashes with what he thinks would be really romantic. (the ceremony most people expects...) So, he´s torn ;)
I have two AUs in mind. One which is half written, and might be split into two multi-chapter stories... and another one I thought about yesterday night. I just need time to write because those are long(ish)!
Thank you for the feedback :) And sorry that bit was a tad confusing!
I loved this chapter. How Gwen just doesn't get it (because she really wouldn't). And Jack & Ianto were so funny discussing if they wanted to have a ceremony or not! I can totally see Jack not really seeing the point, but wanting a romantic gesture. And Ianto just happy that Jack's committed to him in a big way...sharing his life-force and willing to die for him...much more of a romantic gesture IMO than going through a ceremony. Can't wait for more!
Gwen, Oh Gwen... no, she’ll never get it. Sorry to put it this way, but she’s as narrow minded as she can be. At least, that’s what I see in S1 & S2... I do try very hard to like her, but she makes me cringe.
Is a pity, cuz Eve Myles seems very sweet! I blame the writers.
Yes, it definitely is as big as it can get when it comes to romantic. Giving up your immortality to be with the one you love as much as you can. How much bigger can it get? But he likes the little things too, like the rings. I think Jack is a very romantic person at heart. Glen Miller, the questioning Gwen if Rhys asked in one knee... little things we get to see through Dr. Who and TW make me think he really is up for those things BUT, it has to be with the right person ;)
I know what you mean about Gwen...I really, really try to like her for a whole episode, but then she'll say something that just pisses me off. I blame the writer's too. The one episode that almost liked her all the way through was FOOTR in S2...then she had to make that smart ass remark about "Oh that's what we're calling it now." when Jack asked Ianto to help him out with the local knowledge. Just grrrr....
