As part of my personal campaign to appreciate Ianto more, here are my Ten Reasons to Love Ianto - disregarding the main one, which is that Jack loves him.
1- He loves Tintin.
- Even better, he loves James Bond.
- Stopwatch games, and the button on the top.
- He wields a mean hockey stick.
- He shot Owen.
- He is what he is, and does what he must. If he pretends, it's for his own purposes.
- He follows the same pattern as Jack and the Doctor: starting out with deception and a con job, he falls in love with the man he was trying to con, and his life changes around entirely. He becomes a disciple.
- He's lovely with Gwen.
- Those beautiful Welsh vowels.
- I can't think of a #10, but what's the point of a 'top nine' list? ...Suggestions?

1 Which, now I think about it, actually weighs on the minus side for me, emotionally speaking. More's the pity.
