yeah, we saw so much of Owen and Gwen and Diane and Gwen and Rhys and even Tosh with Tommy and Mary! But we never got to see any of Jack and Ianto like this!
But I suppose it gives us more freedom with things like fanart and fics. It would have been really nice to see some of whats in peoples fics in the real show before Ianto died :(
I think that the only real intimate moment between Jack and Ianto was in 'To the last man' and Children of Earth Day Four during Ianto's death scene, other than that we only see (I think) three other kisses!
Anyway, thats enough from me...I'm really glad you liked it =D
Yeah, Ianto and Jack's relationship was never treated equally to any of the other relationships in the show, yet to me their relationship was the most interesting and the most important. There was so much to explore, yet it was almost ignored. Two men, one mortal, one immortal, from very different backgrounds centuries apart, trying to make their relationship work while doing a dangerous job that keeps temporarily killing one of them and could permanently kill the other at any moment... There's far more potential there than in Gwen & Rhys' ordinary relationship.
Personally, I ignore the existence of CoE; in my Torchwood everyone is alive and well, and not all aliens are intent on world domination - there are fluffy, friendly ones too - so Jack and Ianto have time to snuggle like this, fluffy alien permitting!
Lol I love your icon, anyway I love to watch CoE but I cant bring myself to watch that scene in Day Four, I just end up using all the tissues in the house!
And don't get me started on the fact that Janto was ignored! Russell T Davies seems to love gay people (that might have something to do with the fact that he is gay himself) and yet he totally blanks out Jack and Ianto's relationship. I also think that theirs was the most interesting and important, and believe me, you will NEVER find a manip like this of Jack and Gwen on my journal!
Even though we didn't see this sort of thing on screen, I like to think that they did it anyway off screen.
Just read through all your comments with badly_knitted and I concur, 100%! She knows it, too. We quite often discourse along the same lines. They have to have done something like this - if you take the lovely soliloquy from The Dead Line as canon. Ianto mentions waking up next to Jack so many times...
I'm with you re: Day Four. Can't watch it, won't watch it, never again. Even thinking about it makes me grab for a box of tissues. I'm writing stuff for the jack_ianto_las and if anybody else writes anything that leads in that direction, I'm a blubbering wreck. Pathetic, but there you have it.
I blub like a baby too, even if I'm reading something that has a happy ending I will cry!
I just hope that series 4 will have a lot more happiness in it or I wont be able to watch it! I also hope to see some kind of change in Jack due to Ianto's death, I would like to hear him talk to Gwen about it so we know how he really feels.
This is utterly gorgeous and we should've seen this in the series *heavy sigh*
How d'you fancy making something to go with Captain Coat and Coffee-Man? It's a new AU for my longliveianto bingo card and I'd love a banner or icon for it... D xxx
