Sexual clarification...

[fajrdrako]

Just a little slashy clarification. From one of the cons, Gallifrey 1, posted by lv2bliberal,

Audience: For the edification of all those fan fiction writers out there...Is Ianto a top or a bottom?
Kai: Sorry. What was....What's was this?
Audience: Do you know? (indiscernible) let Kai answer it.
Gareth: A top or a back?
Audience: Bottom.
Gareth: A top or a bottom.
Audience: Not front or back. Top or bottom?
Audience: I didn't want to confuse you.
Gareth: Well, I should imagine a bit of both. It's always nice to mix things up, isn't it?

I like that answer! Mind you, I prefer a bottomish Ianto, but I like to have my options open.

I love fannish research.

That made me giggle. :-D

Yes: bottomish, with toppy moments.

But it's undeniable that he curls into Jack like a child seeking comfort from a parent. It's in every embrace we've seen, and I have no doubt that sexually he receives Jack in like fashion. Like a benediction, or ...or something. How could he not be in awe?

Officially, I support Top!Ianto, because he's underrepresented in fic. But personally, it's Bottom!Ianto for me.

Me too.

Absolutely! And that's the way I like it.

Jack gives his life meaning. Jack comforts him. Rescues him - sometimes from himself. And Jack teaches him. It isn't that Ianto accepts whatever Jack does or says, but there's a consistent pattern there.

Absolutely. And on a purely physical basis - besides Jack's (much) greater experience, Jack has 51st-century pheromones and vortex energy surging within his body. That's got to be pretty awe-inspiring - and mightily sexually satisfying.

Hee, such ballsy fans!! :D

Considering on the captain's blog (yay for James Moran!) it was mentioned that on more than one occasion Ianto's tricked Jack into being handcuffed to his chair in his office, I'd be shocked if there wasn't some switch-hitting between those two~

I wish Moran would write the whole scene for us, in exquisite detail. In fact, I would go so far as to suspect that Ianto didn't have to work very hard to 'trick' Jack into it.

IF ONLY! It does make me happy to think that in the upcoming series he did write one of the episodes though. He did seem to have fun playing up their relationship in the background as well as giving Ianto some enjoyable snark~

I've been heartily impressed by Moran. And I too am glad he's worked on series 3. It gives me hope. He seems to have the right attitude.

I've been impressed by him and his blog is quite amusing at times.

I hope he doesn't get out of Torchwood writing. I'd like to see a Torchwood novel by him. (And yes, I know he is working on Consequences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequences_(Torchwood)). Yay!
