Champagne

Ianto woke in Jack's bed. Jack held his silver tray, a bottle of champagne, and two crystal glasses. "We're celebrating."

"We are? I'm not dressed for it."

Jack's eyes sparkled as he poured. "Love you naked."

Ianto blushed. "You don't drink champagne."

"This morning, I do."

"Why?"

"A year ago today, I destroyed the TARDIS. Don't ask."

It was more than he had ever said about his time away from Torchwood. "A year ago? Impossible," said Ianto.

"Forget linear time," said Jack. "It wasn't real time. Don't think about it. Drink - to freedom!"

"Freedom," said Ianto, as they kissed.

So, nu? Are you going to tell the story behind this?

If I get a chance, I'd like to expand it. It's basically the idea that Jack hasn't forgotten the events of the Year that Never Was... and his timeline is bent compared to Ianto's. It presupposes that there's a full year in Jack's personal timeline between his release from the Valiant and the events of "Exit Wounds" - a supposition for which I have no proof at all.
