galadriel1010Title:To the End of the World
Characters: Jack and Ianto
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Rating: U
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: Torchwood is entirely not mine
Summary: Jack and Ianto watch the Earth burn together, and Jack has still got those abandonment and inadequacy issues.
Author's Note: This was inspired by watching The End Of The World, and the fact that I am a firm believer in the fact that Jack is not the Face of Boe. So I wondered where he was.
This can be taken as a coda to most of my fanfiction.
I'm going to try to tidy up my LJ, get everything posted on here as well as on Fanfiction.net. I'm also going to keep up my daily posting, except on those days when I just can't, and do a collected crosspost to Torchwood_fic at the end of the week, rather than spamming it daily. </thinking out loud>
Story: Jack took his partner's hand and raised it to his lips, kissing it without taking his eyes off the scene before them. The other man shifted closer to him, nearly into his lap, and held him, giving the comfort Jack sought. They'd brought their bedding into the observation deck and laid it out on the floor with the viewing panel completely open, and were lying together with their backs against the wall, arms around each other and gazes fixed on the spectacle. The viewing panel was filled with fiery red and gold, sparkling and dancing and burning as the Earth died.
“I'm sorry,” Jack said at last, tightening his arms around his partner's waist. It made him feel like the most selfish man ever, but he couldn't have let go. He'd give him anything else he asked, but not that – not freedom.
“What are you sorry for?”
“For bringing you with me, to this.” He swallowed hard. “For dragging you through so much, for so long. No one should have to have lived that.”
“You had to live it too,” he pointed out.
“I had you, though,” Jack smiled sadly and held him tighter, resting his cheek on his hair. “That made it worth it.”
“Jack... can't you understand that it's the same for me?” he snuggled closer and waved one hand briefly, then rested it back against Jack's chest. “You gave me the stars and all of time. And you gave me yourself.”
He swallowed. “It's all I have to give.”
“It's all I ever wanted,” Ianto assured him.
