A/N Okay, i wasn't going to attempt these, but this wouldn't leave me alone, sorry it's a little sad ...

It was Christmas Eve and Ianto was waiting for Jack, sat high at the top of the Ferris Wheel he could see the whole fair. The lights of the rides shone brightly in the early evening darkness as dusk fell and they span around, sped along tracks and made their riders scream and laugh in fear. His eyes fell upon the ice skating rink, watching as people seemed to glide over the ice effortlessly as they skated to the piped music.

He looked about for Jack, still no sign of him as the ride began to start again, moving him back towards the ground but he wasn't ready to exit it yet and no one noticed as he ascended upwards again. The smells of hot popcorn, doughnuts and candy floss invaded his senses as the small breeze blew them through the air making him feel a little nostalgic.

This time as he stopped at the top he spotted him, his greatcoat flowing out behind him as he ran through the crowds with purpose towards his date. Jack ran past the roller coaster and bypassed the concession stand as he headed towards the huge decorated Christmas tree, smiling as he saw the person he was looking for. Ianto watched as he took her in his arms and kissed her softly, as she pulled back smiling and they headed hand in hand through the fair towards the Ferris Wheel.

Ianto knew Jack would head there first, it was the nearest thing to being stood on top of a building. He smiled to himself as he watched Jack pay for the two of them to ride it, happy that as long last Jack had finally found someone else to take to the fair with him, then Ianto faded away.

Well, eight years was a long time to grieve for a lost love ...

Very bittersweet, but I don't imagine Ianto would want Jack to pine for him forever, either. Lovely little piece.

Nope, and i wanted him to be happy Jack had found someone else ...

Thank you :D

That wasn't sad, it was so hopeful. Jack moving on, Ianto happy for him. Great.

Yes, it's sad, but it's also rather sweet... I completely believe that Ianto would want Jack to find someone else to love (and be loved by) after he's gone (although I hope it's a long time before he is gone!)

(And I know what you mean about not meaning to do this hehe... I wasn't going to but then I did day 1 and somehow I've now promised myself I *am* going to do them all...)
