A/N This is my first post for such a long time as RL has been hectic just recently. I hope you all enjoy it.
A/N 2 This is for stevwil41 who's just started writing. Go for it, you are good.
A/N 3 This has had to be posted in two parts LJ kept telling me that it was too large for one post. Sorry.
Tosh explained to Ianto that much to her relief the wind wasn’t caused by the fairies, but as yet she wasn’t sure who or what was causing it.
“I’m sorry Ianto, but that’s all I can tell you.”
“Ok.” He sounded dejected, “look it’s getting late, I’ve got my laptop at home, why don’t we all go get some sleep then we can decide what to do in the morning.”
“I could stay here.”
“No Tosh, there’s no reason for all of us to lose sleep. I know I won’t be able to sleep, I’m going to keep looking.”
“If you’re sure?”
“Yeah, I’m….”
“Oh so this is how it’s going to be is it?” Gwen had come into the work area as Ianto was telling them to go home. “You want to be in charge, just because you’re Jack’s part time shag….”
“GWEN!” Owen snapped.
“Well you’re the one that christened him that.”
“Listen Gwen, I know what I’ve said in the past, but Ianto’s right, there’s not much else we can do till we know who they are and what they want. Ianto’s got it covered. Let’s all go and get some rest.”
“Oh aren’t we the considerate one. Since when did you start agreeing with Ianto?”
Owen looked at Ianto, nodded and Ianto smiled, “since he made me see that as much as we can cope without him, we do need Jack.”
Gwen glared at Owen then at Ianto, turned and left.
“Don’t worry about her Ianto, she’ll get over it, she always does.”
“I know Tosh, but we had words earlier and I think I overstepped the mark.”
“Hey, you’re worried about Jack.” She got up and hugged him. “We all are. But you deserve to worry more than anyone. I know how much you love him.”
Ianto blushed.
“Come on tea boy,” Owen smiled, “we’ve know it for a long time.” He squeezed Ianto’s arm.
“Yeah, I do love him and now I’m….well….you know, I don’t know what I’d do without him.”
“Yeah, so….let’s go and see what we can find out. I suggest Tosh and I go back to the warehouse, you go home and if any of us find anything we let the rest know.”
“What about Gwen?”
“Oh I’ll contact her shortly. Let’s just let her calm down for now. Jack is the important one here.”
“Thanks Owen. And Owen….”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry….you know….for….”
“Yeah, I know. I probably deserved it.” Owen smiled.
Tosh transferred the information to Ianto’s laptop and they left.
Jack arrived back at the Hub expecting to see his lover and colleagues still there. But as he went through the roller door he saw everything in darkness. Even Tosh’s work station. He tried his comms again, still nothing and there was still no signal on his mobile. Whatever had happened to him had knocked out all his communication devices. He was tired after the long trek back. He needed to sleep. That in itself was unusual, he never slept. Looking at his hands the cuts were still bleeding. Why hadn’t they healed? He couldn’t concentrate, he needed to sleep.
He practically fell down the ladder to his, no their quarters. He would grab a quick nap and wait for the others to come back.
Ianto arrived at his apartment, opening his front door he could hear his laptop buzzing. It never did that unless…. He dropped his coat and his keys and raced into the lounge. His laptop was flashing and he immediately saw the message.
So Torchwood we have your attention now. This is what you are going to do if you want your beloved Captain to survive.
Ianto tried to type a message, but whoever was controlling it wouldn’t let him. He read the rest of the message.
Your Captain is dying, you’ll probably find him back at your headquarters. We’ve been monitoring him, he’s getting worse by the minute and the walk back didn’t help him. Now you have to help us if you want him alive.
The message paused, Ianto tried to type again, this time succeeding. What do I have to do. I’ll do anything to get him back.
Oh very sweet. Now in your archives you have a diamond that will help us get back to our planet. If you get us this we will save your Captain. If not you will lose him forever.
Ianto typed Why is this diamond so precious to you and why do we have it?
It contains life energy from our race. Your Captain imprisoned us in it many years ago and now we want our people back.
Ianto replied If I get you the diamond will you leave us alone?
We stick by our word, we will revive your Captain again.
Again Ianto answered I’ll find it, I’ll bring it to you, just make Jack well again.
There was no answer from the aliens. Ianto raced out of his apartment and back to the Hub. He didn’t know how he got there, he just drove.
Entering the Hub he raced to the archives not really knowing what he was looking for. He needed Jack’s file, so made his way to their quarters. He’d been spending more time there this last few months, he counted it as theirs now, not just Jack’s.
As he made his way down the ladder he could hear a sound. He drew his revolver not knowing what to expect. Reaching the bottom he saw a pale Jack lying on the bed.
“Jack, Cariad, are you….” He could see Jack wasn’t ok.
“Mnnngh Yan….hurts so much.”
Ianto went over to him, knelt at the side of the bed and stroked Jack’s cheek.
“I’m here Cariad, everything’s going to be alright. I’m going to get Owen to come and look after you whilst I see to the visitors.”
“mmm, don’t leave me….want you….”
“Sshh don’t speak, rest, I’ll be back very soon.” He leant over and kissed Jack. He felt Jack respond to the kiss and smiled as he pulled away. Looking down at his lover Ianto knew he had to act quickly, Jack didn’t have much time left. He retrieved the file, went back to the archives and found the diamond. It wasn’t just a diamond, but a box. He could see a red mist swirling around inside. As he raced up to his car he called Owen who said he would go take care of Jack till he got back.
As Ianto headed towards the warehouse he noticed the mist changing colour. When he pulled up outside, the box was now filled with a blue mist. He didn’t care what these creatures had done in the past he wanted Jack back.
He made his way into the warehouse, carefully carrying the box. A gust of wind blew, closing the door behind him.
“I have your diamond. Now leave us alone and give us back our Captain.”
Oh very touching, you think it’s that easy?
“You promised.”
That was before!
“Before what?”
Before we realised it would be so easy to get our diamond back.
“Look, Jack is dying, we need him, he has to stay with us. He’s our Captain.”
Oh but he’s more than that to you isn’t he?
“How….how did you know?”
We know everything. We have the ability to make or break people and we have decided to break you, Ianto Jones.
“You know my name?”
Of course, we know everything about Captain Harkness and his lover.
“What do you want me to do? What have I to do to save Jack?”
Ha, ha, ha, you would do anything wouldn’t you? Well you can come with us and replace that diamond with the glass one we have, then we’ll send you back.
“But will Jack be ok?”
Yes, but we’re not sure if you’ll survive. No human has ever survived our atmosphere for more than ten minutes.
Ianto hoped they didn’t know about his immortality. “Ok, I’ll do it. Do whatever you want.”
Oh so sweet. He’s going to sacrifice himself just to save his lover.
Ianto smiled, held out the box which had now turned a deep shade of purple. “Come on then, show me what I have to do. I’ll do it, just make sure Jack lives, and when I’ve done everything, send me back to the Hub. After all if I’m dead they’ll need a body to dispose of. I don’t want to be left here to rot.”
Of course not, we’ll allow you that at least.
“Thank you.” Inwardly Ianto was praying that he would be ok.
He followed the light and as he went through a doorway he saw them for the first time. It was the creatures that were omitting the light and they appeared to have no features at all. He continued to follow them into another room where he saw an image of Jack in their quarters and Owen standing over him. He closed his eyes praying. He’d not done that for many years.
He was shown the void where the box needed to go. He could feel his lungs struggling to cope with the air and his chest was getting tighter.
You haven’t got much longer Mr Jones. I suggest you hurry and put the box in place.
Ianto moved forward and placed the box in the void. As he positioned it he saw the mist turn back to red. Then he passed out.
Owen had stayed with Jack ever since Ianto had contacted him. He was worried, Jack wasn’t healing. If he was truthful his injuries were getting worse. He had to get some more blood, it just wasn’t clotting. But when he got back Jack was dead.
Owen rang Tosh. “Hey Tosh,” he was subdued. “Can you come back to the Hub, and on your way collect Gwen.”
“Sure, Owen, are you ok?”
“No Tosh I’m not. It’s Jack, he’s….he’s dead!”
“NO!” Then he heard her crying. “What are we going to tell Ianto?”
“Don’t know, but right now he’s trying to save us. Save his Jack.”
She was stunned, she’d never heard Owen call him that. She doubted she ever would again. “Owen, I’m on my way, I’ll call Gwen before I leave.”
“Thanks Tosh. See you soon.”
He closed his phone and went to sit with Jack. “I’m so sorry Jack, I tried my hardest, but it just wasn’t good enough was it? I promise we’ll look after Ianto. I know he’s not going to want to stay here. I promise that if he wants me to I’ll retcon him, make sure he doesn’t remember.” He sat looking at his Captain, his friend, remembering how Jack had been his salvation after Katie.
He heard the girls arrive and went to meet them. No words spoken just tears and hugging. They made their way to the boardroom, Owen finding a hidden bottle of Scotch and taking that with them. They needed it now more than anything. They didn’t know how long they’d sat in the boardroom in silence but suddenly….
“What was that?”
“What do you mean Gwen?”
“That noise didn’t you hear it?”
“No, where did it come from?”
“Sounded like Jack’s office.”
“Ok, you girls stay here, I’ll go see.” Owen cautiously made his way back to Jack’s office. “Tosh! Gwen! Get yourselves in here NOW!”
The girls bounded in to Jack’s office to be confronted by Owen standing over Ianto’s body.
“What? How?”
“Hey don’t look at me Tosh, I have no idea how tea boy got here.”
“Is he….”
“I’m sorry but he’s….”
The girls started crying again. Now they had lost two of their colleagues and friends. Owen carefully lifted Ianto and carried him down to Jack’s quarters, lying him on the small bunk next to Jack. Owen too was moved to tears.
“What are we going to do?”
“We carry on, Jack and Ianto would have….”
“IANTO!” Jack gasped as he took a deep breath.
All three of them screamed.
“I thought you said he was….”
“He was….but….I….”
“Nnngh JACK!”
“Shit! What the hell’s going on?” shouted Owen as Ianto began breathing again. He checked both men over after they had finally come around and declared them ok.
“Why are you all in our quarters?” asked Jack, once he’d sorted his head out.
“You….you, both of you….were dead, nothing, nada. And I don’t just mean for a couple of minutes. It’s been a couple of hours. Would….would one of you care to explain what the hell’s been going on?”
Both men remained sat on the bed, Jack leaned over and pulled Ianto close. Ianto smiled and leant in to kiss Jack.
“Oh please….tea boy, just leave that for when you’re on your own.”
“Mmm, well I think it’s rather hot!” exclaimed Tosh blushing.
They all looked at her and smiled.
“Well! We’re waiting, would someone care to explain.”
Ianto told them everything that had happened to get them to this point. “And I still don’t know who they are, they never told me.”
“I know.” Volunteered Jack. “I’ve had a suspicion they’d be back. Just wasn’t sure when.”
“So come on then tell us.” Owen was getting impatient he’d had a long day and needed to get some sleep.
“They’re the Strethom. Nasty and self centred. The Doctor….”
“Oh him.” Whispered Ianto as Jack pulled him closer and kissed his neck. Even now after all this time with Jack he still felt jealous when the Doctor was mentioned.
Jack continued, “the Doctor banished them but kept their commander in chief, as he liked to call himself, in that box as ransom. They were only to come back when they’d found a planet to live on. Seems as though they’ve done that.”
“Will we see them again?”
“No, now they have their box they’ll not bother us anymore.”
“Good, because we don’t think we can go through that trauma again.” Said Tosh.
“Ianto!”
“Yeah Gwen.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry too.”
“Hey would someone care to tell me why you’re both sorry.”
“I’ll explain later Cariad.” As Ianto looked at Gwen who smiled and nodded.
Jack leant across and kissed Ianto again.
“On that note I do believe we should leave these two to rest. Otherwise anymore show of affection and I’ll be the one who’s sick!”
“OWEN!” Exclaimed the girls together. The three of them left Jack and Ianto alone.
“I thought I’d lost you Cariad.”
“I know, I was scared too. I had forgotten what it was like not to be able to heal. It hurt like hell.”
“Ssshh, no more talking, I’m going to make you feel better.” Ianto kissed his lover and slowly began to make his way around to Jack’s neck.
Kissing his way down Jack’s body he reached an already hard nub of his right nipple, taking it into his mouth he began sucking on it and nipping it. Moans escaping Jack’s mouth sent Ianto’s blood supply heading south. He felt himself become hard and knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold on very long. He began inching his way down the front of Jack nipping and licking as the journey progressed.
“Nngh Yan need you to….”
Before Jack could utter another word Ianto’s mouth closed around his hard shaft licking the slit at the top causing illegible words to escape Jack’s mouth. Ianto reached up with his right hand and found a nipple, tugging and rolling it between his finger and thumb he smiled at the noises that his lover was making. With his other hand he reached down and wrapped it around his own length stroking and pumping it in time with his mouth around Jack.
“Oh….God….Yan….nnngh!” Jack had never felt so good, he loved how Ianto’s mouth felt around him and with his young lovers fingers tweaking his nipple he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
Ianto’s movements up and down Jack’s length and the movements up and down his own hardness became faster. He felt Jack’s hips buck pushing himself further down his throat. He relaxed it to be able to take all of Jack.
“Nnngh….Yan….going to….IANTO!” Jack shuddered his release into his gorgeous lover.
Ianto wasn’t long after Jack, coming over his hand and onto Jack’s leg. He continued licking Jack and stroking himself until they were both drained. Their breathing slowing Ianto released Jack with a slight pop and made his way back up to look his lover in the eye.
“I love you Captain Jack Harkness, and I don’t know what I would have done without you.” He kissed him.
Jack tasted himself on Ianto’s lips and in his mouth, savouring every second they were joined together. “You are not going to lose me, I love you too much and….and I was scared I’d lose you and I wouldn’t have been able to stay if you’d gone.”
“Ssshh Cariad, neither of us is going anywhere. Now, what say we go get a shower and get some sleep, we’ve both had a really long day.”
“Mmm and after that I want to show you how much I love you.”
They made their way into the shower and Jack proved to Ianto how much he loved him by making love slowly to him under the hot spray. They only left the shower when the water was starting to cool and Jack had taken his lover to heaven and back.
Arms wrapped around one another they made their way back to their bed, climbing under the covers Ianto wrapped his arms around his Captain laying his head on Jack’s chest they both fell into a love filled sleep.

He heard the girls arrive and went to meet them. No words spoken just tears and hugging. They made their way to the boardroom, Owen finding a hidden bottle of Scotch and taking that with them. They needed it now more than anything. They didn’t know how long they’d sat in the boardroom in silence but suddenly….
“What was that?”

“You….you, both of you….were dead, nothing, nada. And I don’t just mean for a couple of minutes. It’s been a couple of hours. Would….would one of you care to explain what the hell’s been going on?”
Both men remained sat on the bed, Jack leaned over and pulled Ianto close. Ianto smiled and leant in to kiss Jack.

“Mmm, well I think it’s rather hot!” exclaimed Tosh blushing.

“So come on then tell us.” Owen was getting impatient he’d had a long day and needed to get some sleep.
“They’re the Strethom. Nasty and self centred. The Doctor….”
“Oh him.” Whispered Ianto as Jack pulled him closer and kissed his neck. Even now after all this time with Jack he still felt jealous when the Doctor was mentioned.
Jack continued, “the Doctor banished them but kept their commander in chief, as he liked to call himself, in that box as ransom. They were only to come back when they’d found a planet to live on. Seems as though they’ve done that.”
“Will we see them again?”
“No, now they have their box they’ll not bother us anymore.”
“Good, because we don’t think we can go through that trauma again.” Said Tosh.
“Ianto!”
“Yeah Gwen.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry too.”
“Hey would someone care to tell me why you’re both sorry.”
“I’ll explain later Cariad.” As Ianto looked at Gwen who smiled and nodded.
Jack leant across and kissed Ianto again.
“On that note I do believe we should leave these two to rest. Otherwise anymore show of affection and I’ll be the one who’s sick!”
“OWEN!” Exclaimed the girls together. The three of them left Jack and Ianto alone.
“I thought I’d lost you Cariad.”
“I know, I was scared too. I had forgotten what it was like not to be able to heal. It hurt like hell.”
“Ssshh, no more talking, I’m going to make you feel better.” Ianto kissed his lover and slowly began to make his way around to Jack’s neck.
Kissing his way down Jack’s body he reached an already hard nub of his right nipple, taking it into his mouth he began sucking on it and nipping it. Moans escaping Jack’s mouth sent Ianto’s blood supply heading south. He felt himself become hard and knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold on very long. He began inching his way down the front of Jack nipping and licking as the journey progressed.
“Nngh Yan need you to….”
Before Jack could utter another word Ianto’s mouth closed around his hard shaft licking the slit at the top causing illegible words to escape Jack’s mouth. Ianto reached up with his right hand and found a nipple, tugging and rolling it between his finger and thumb he smiled at the noises that his lover was making. With his other hand he reached down and wrapped it around his own length stroking and pumping it in time with his mouth around Jack.
“Oh….God….Yan….nnngh!” Jack had never felt so good, he loved how Ianto’s mouth felt around him and with his young lovers fingers tweaking his nipple he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
Ianto’s movements up and down Jack’s length and the movements up and down his own hardness became faster. He felt Jack’s hips buck pushing himself further down his throat. He relaxed it to be able to take all of Jack.
“Nnngh….Yan….going to….IANTO!” Jack shuddered his release into his gorgeous lover.
Ianto wasn’t long after Jack, coming over his hand and onto Jack’s leg. He continued licking Jack and stroking himself until they were both drained. Their breathing slowing Ianto released Jack with a slight pop and made his way back up to look his lover in the eye.
“I love you Captain Jack Harkness, and I don’t know what I would have done without you.” He kissed him.
Jack tasted himself on Ianto’s lips and in his mouth, savouring every second they were joined together. “You are not going to lose me, I love you too much and….and I was scared I’d lose you and I wouldn’t have been able to stay if you’d gone.”
“Ssshh Cariad, neither of us is going anywhere. Now, what say we go get a shower and get some sleep, we’ve both had a really long day.”
“Mmm and after that I want to show you how much I love you.”
They made their way into the shower and Jack proved to Ianto how much he loved him by making love slowly to him under the hot spray. They only left the shower when the water was starting to cool and Jack had taken his lover to heaven and back.
Arms wrapped around one another they made their way back to their bed, climbing under the covers Ianto wrapped his arms around his Captain laying his head on Jack’s chest they both fell into a love filled sleep.
