Ghost Fear

The ghost machine made Ianto break out into a cold sweat. Don't use it in the Hub, he thought. Don't see my fear, Lisa's pain, the horror of the cybermechanism in the basement.

It was a relief to see the diabolical thing locked away, safe.

Ianto realized Jack was looking at him again. Control, control was the key. He smiled, using his eyebrow in the way he knew made Jack hard, made his breath quicken.

Jack smiled back at him.

He could handle Jack. Sex was distraction. Jack was easy.

Everything was going to be all right.

Season 1 Ianto is just so much more tragic than we knew at the time.

Yes. We didn't know about the girlfriend in the basement till "Cyberwoman". We didn't know he loved Jack until... well, I'm not sure when; take your pick; we learned they were having sex in "They Keep Killing Susie" but we don't really learn the terms of it. We didn't know quite the extent of things till "Adam" and "Fragments", really.

Yes, he played it right.

Poor Ianto.
