“You never will just be a blip in time Ianto Jones. Not for me.”

Eyes wide Ianto was stunned into silence for a minute or two, staring at Jack as he gulped, trying to form the words he wanted to say.

“I, you heard ... every ... word?” Ianto managed to stutter after what seemed like a lifetime.

“It seems you can be pretty talkative when the mood strikes.” Jack smiled.

That smile, Ianto thought, the smile he keeps for me alone. His secret smile, reserved for the person he loves. The smile he knows that can distract me, from anything and everything. He knew that the smile had been someone elses once, Jack had loved so many people, but for now it was his and his alone and that was all that counted.

“Well, it's hard to get a word in edgewise normally Jack.” Ianto quipped in an attempt to change the subject.

“You have no idea just what I feel for you do you Ianto?” Jack asked, continuing before Ianto could answer. “You dominate my dreams, I dream of us being together for long years to come. I hope that Torchwood doesn't take you away from me too soon, if I leave I will always come back to you. Always. Or take you with me, you need to see the universe for yourself.”

“But I'll grow old, grey, you'll get bored with me long before then.” Ianto replied sadly.

“No.” Jack shook his head slowly, smiling that smile again. “You're mine for as long as I have you.”

“Jack, I ...”

“Yeah, me too.” Jack whispered before kissing his lover softly.

The End.

That was beautiful-Ilove the tenderness between them. I'm so happy Jack didn't just not mention what Ianto said,and the way you fleshed out the scene was very romantic.

Thank you :D

oh what a gorgeous addition.

During Ianto's monologue, I was crying in my kitchen. *lol* My mom was like : "What? What's going on? Who's talking? What is he saying??? I don't understand!" while I was doing some signal to her to stop talking, I'll explain later.
Gareth is such a brilliant actor.

If only this was how the play ended! Very beautiful!

Loved Dead Line, lots of lovely Janto and references to the 70's (we used to have a phone like that, though it was a horrible yellow sort of colour) - and am re-listening to it as I write. I loved Ianto talking to Jack, it was so open and that final bit? I walked down to pick my son up from school and couldn't stop grinning everytime I thought of it!
This fic is a lovely addition to the play. Thank you. :)

I almost died from squeeling when I finished the radio-play because of that line. This made it 100x sweeter.

fantastic. This is what I imagined their conversation would have continued on with.

so lovely

AWWWW! Adorable, I would have loved to see that scene extended but that was just a brilliant last line to end on :c)

Just lovely!! The radio play really showed the relationship between Janto. Ianto's talk to a coma Jack was very moving and telling. I loved how Jack was able to use the "blip" to let Ianto know that he had heard him. You story was a perfect added ending scene to that.

I loved the parting line in the radio play, but what you added is just lovely. Excellent :)

[thrace-adams.livejournal.com]

Oh that was gorgeous. What a lovely addition to that RP *happy sigh* *still basking in the Jantoy goodness*

Read your scene right after I listened to the radio play. Brilliant follow up. Thanks.

[elizabuffy.livejournal.com]

Aww! This was wonderful! Now I can't wait to listen to that play (I was away from the computer so I missed the plays when they came out)!

~e!

Oh this was so,so beautiful.
I have never heard any of the radio shows though. I am sure they are brilliant.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I know, she beat me too.

Ah well. Fandom's big enough for all of us, eh? *rolls sleeves up*

[rambleinblue.livejournal.com]

Yep. That's exactly what happened.

[isarae.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Gorgeous!

All the Janto-ness in the radio play made my heart melt too...even though I was staring at my mobile the whole time going 'don't ring! don't ring!' - because things like that always happen to me. Always. Then I got a call today from an unknown number...

Anyway. I love the way canon is slowly drifting along the path that fanon already carved out for it...
