Nothing was happening, and Jack wondered how long they would have to wait. )

Title: Mutual Service: Change Is The Only Constant
Author: Kei
Pairing: slight Jack/Ianto
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Set in the Mutual Service verse. I highly recommend you read that first, or this won't make much sense.

After this will be a sort of light-hearted listfic, and then I'm working out the details of something plottier involving the Doctor.


It wasn't hard to figure out where Ianto would be. )

Fic: Mutual Service

Title: Mutual Service
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: very slight Jack/Ianto
Rating: PG-13 for themes
Notes: AU. Some dialogue taken from They Keep Killing Suzie. When some misplaced technology triggers a custom-coded lockdown, Torchwood quickly realises the quickest way to open up the Hub again is to get the program's creator to shut it off. The only problem is that Ianto Jones is dead.

For those interested, 51'30'18N 00'01'16E is the location of Canary Wharf in latitude and longitude.

Title taken from the suicide note of Charlotte Perkins Gilman: "Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or 'broken heart,' is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one." Cheerful, I know.


For once it is a slow week for the four members of Torchwood Three. )

Pairing: implied Jack/Ianto, Ianto/Lisa
Rating: PG-13 (minor character death)
Summary: AU. Sometimes keeping secrets is the worst thing for us.


1. Ianto is feeling the cold )

Fic: Dr Seuss does Torchwood

Title: Dr Seuss does Torchwood
Fandom: Dr Seuss/Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Rating: PG
Notes: Set at the start of season two, but presuming no previous Jack/Ianto relationship. Dub-con?


This is the most ridiculous piece of crack I have ever written )

Fic: Contingencies

Title: Contingencies
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Rating: NC-17

Fic: Assistance

Title: Assistance
Fandom: BL/Torchwood/Invisible Man
Characters: Pepper, Ianto, Eberts
Rating: G
Notes: There is no point to this whatsoever, really, I just liked the mental image.

Fic: Property of Torchwood

Title: Property of Torchwood
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Ianto, shades of Ianto/Lisa
Rating: R
Notes: Obligatory post-Cyberwoman fic. Because I'm nothing if not derivative.

Property of Torchwood. It would be apt. )

Fic: Fear of the Dark

Title: Fear of the Dark
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Suzie Costello, team
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Inspired by a line from a re-cap of They Keep Killing Suzie about how at the end of the episode she resembles a child who's scared of the dark. It's a somewhat paltry attempt at a character study though. :/


Suzie is twenty nine years old and sometimes wakes up sobbing )
