Dead in the Water

Ianto lay face down in water.

Jack stumbled towards him. He'd always thought Ianto'd been playing him. You can only con a con man so far. He'd enjoyed guessing at Ianto's motives. Money? Advancement?

No. Crazy in love with a cyberwoman.

Ianto had just the right touch, in bed and out. Innocent and knowing. Won Jack's trust- yeah, wishful thinking there. Jack had wanted the eager, sexy act to be genuine.

Now he only wanted Ianto to be alive again. He took Ianto in his arms, kissing him. Live, live, live...

When had he fallen so much in love?

Have I ever told you how much I enjoy your drabbles? Well, I do, and this one was wonderful.

You silver-tongued devil. That's something I never get tired of hearing.

and this one was wonderful.

SO glad you liked it. That scene in "Cyberwoman" where Jack kisses the unconscious Ianto had been rolling around in my head ever since it first aired. My interpretation of it has changed a lot since then, too. This is my current take - that Jack, though furious with Ianto, realizes he loves him and wants to save him, and the world too.
