[fic] torchwood - wish you were here - ianto, gwen + team, pg
I was going to wait to post this until I got home from work, but I'm a bit excited :)
***
Title: Wish You Were Here
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Ianto, Gwen, Owen, Jack, Tosh (+ canon pairings)
Rating: PG
Length: Hard to tell.
Summary: In which Gwen sends postcards, Ianto sends text messages, Owen gets hitched, Tosh finds more jewelry, and Jack shouldn't be allowed to decorate. A normal week at Torchwood during Gwen's honeymoon.
Notes: For the undermistletoe Documentation challenge. VERY IMAGE HEAVY. Seriously, this'll take a while to load if you're on a slow connection. HUGE thanks to dremiel for the beta and encouragement!
This fic is dedicated to solsticezero. I met Solstice doing mistletw last year and now I can't imagine life in fandom without her. You're the best, bb. Merry Christmas ♥

I've barely been gone 2 days! Wait, alien-mad or cabinet-rearranging-mad? Are you in trouble or just having hysterics?
Received : Mon, 6 Aug 12:01pm

From : Ianto
I'm not sure, it could be both.
Received : Mon, 6 Aug 12:03 pm

From : Ianto
But, admittedly maybe it's mostly the cabinet-rearranging-mad.

From : Gwen Cooper
Relax, love. He's your boyfriend AND your boss. He's going to drive you mad sometimes, it's just life. I'm going to the beach w/ Rhys. See you in a week & a 1/2!
Received : Mon, 6 Aug 12:07 pm

From : Ianto
He's not my boyfriend.
Received : Mon, 6 Aug 12:08 pm

From : Ianto
And, fine. I guess I'll wait until next week to tell you about how Owen is now an alien princess.
Received : Mon, 6 Aug 12:08 pm

From : Gwen Cooper
Wait, WHAT?

He's mad, Gwen. HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE.
Received : Wed, 8 Aug 2:12 pm

From : Gwen Cooper
I hate to be the one to break this to you, love, but he kind of does.
Received : Wed, 8 Aug 2:20 pm
*
From : Ianto
I don't know what you're talking about. And he doesn't live here. Not in a capacity that allows choosing paint colors, at least.
Received : Wed, 8 Aug 2:22 pm
*
From : Ianto
(Even if the new coat of paint is his fault in the first place.)
Received : Wed, 8 Aug 2:22 pm
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Does he have good taste, at least?
Received : Wed, 8 Aug 2:24 pm
*
From : Ianto
He lives in a concrete bunker. What do you think?
Received : Wed, 8 Aug 2:26 pm
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Can't help you from Santorini, sweetheart. Be strong! A week left!

Just got all your messages. Sorry about last night. I was a bit woozy with blood loss. They knocked me out until about 15 min ago.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:47 am

From : Ianto
Jack and Owen knocked me out with pain killers, I mean.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:47 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN, IANTO JONES! IF I HADN'T SPOKEN TO JACK THIS MORNING, I WOULD BE ON MY WAY BACK TO BLOODY CARDIFF!
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:48 am
*
From : Ianto
I'm sorry! I couldn't get Tosh or Owen and I was alone with Jack's body and that's always a bit morbid. I don't know what I was thinking. It was the blood loss.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:50 am
*
From : Ianto
I didn't mean to ruin your honeymoon.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:50 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
You hardly ruined my honeymoon. Granted, I scared the life out of Rhys when I finally got your messages, but I was just worried about you.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:52 am
*
From : Ianto
You shouldn't have to worry this week, regardless of how many times I text you like it's the end of the world. I'll quit that, too.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:50 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Stop the bloody "woe is me" routine! I love hearing from you, even if you are being a ridiculous baby about the paint in the living room.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:51 am
*
From : Ianto
He doesn't live there!
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:52 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
He does and you know it! Anyway, how are you feeling?
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:53 am
*
From : Ianto
My arm hurts. Jack is hovering. Owen and Tosh think I'm addled because I wouldn't leave Jack in the sewer while I was bleeding.
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:55 am
*
From : Ianto
(In my defense, I didn't realize I had actually been shot. I thought I'd been hit by some shrapnel.)
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:55 am

From : Gwen Cooper
What am I going to do with you, Ianto Jones?
Received : Sat, 11 Aug 11:57 am
*
From : Ianto
You've got four days left to decide. Enjoy them.

Tosh is never allowed to pick up a piece of jewelry again.
Received : Mon, 13 Aug 5:15 pm
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Do I even want to know?
Received : Mon, 13 Aug 5:17 pm
*
From : Ianto
It's a long story. One that I dearly wish I could tell you over a pint.
Received : Mon, 13 Aug 5:18 pm
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Aw, miss me that much?
Received : Mon, 13 Aug 5:19 pm
*
From : Ianto
Not as such. Jack and Owen won't let me bloody drink until I'm off this antibiotic. I need it after today.
Received : Mon, 13 Aug 5:20 pm

From : Gwen Cooper
Still picking us up at the airport?
Received : Wed, 15 Aug 7:58 am

From : Ianto
Of course. Well. Me and Jack. He doesn't want me to do any heavy lifting. There's no lifting involved in driving, but you know how he is.
Received : Wed, 15 Aug 7:59 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Can't wait to see you! Although, to be honest, I could do with another week and a half in paradise.
Received : Wed, 15 Aug 8:00 am
*
From : Ianto
I could do with one as well. Instead, I get to spend my weekend off watching Jack paint the living room and arguing with him over furniture.
Received : Wed, 15 Aug 8:01 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Hold up, what happened to 'Jack doesn't live here, he doesn't get a choice in the furniture?'
Received : Wed, 15 Aug 8:02 am
*
From : Ianto
It's a long story. I'll tell you tonight. In person.
Received : Wed, 15 Aug 8:03 am
*
From : Gwen Cooper
Fair enough. I'll see you tonight, love.
