It's teh Yantoe onna top...

[tencrush]

OK, look, I promise that after the weekend I shall formulate and express complex theories as to why Ianto is such a Dominant, bedroomwise. If you think you've got important evidences, please don't hesitate to leave them here for me to mull over. But right now it's the weekend and I have Stuff To Do, so I'll just leave you with a bit from nightspring's stills (which don't seem to be loading anymore, but don't worry, I too shall use pictures for great justice and luls):

I'd like to hang this one in a gallery and call it



UR FAYCE, MY COCK

Anyway, whatevers.

...where does the coffee come into it? ;)

I'm sure nightspring had a still that didn't involve a cup, but still involved lanto waving his Joneses in Jack's face.

Well, I didn't notice the cup when I was picking out caps for my picspam, but now that you've posted it... the position of that cup is quite suggestive! LOL.

CyberWomen: When he decked Jack (or the whole episode in genral).

Meat: Prey they survive

KKBB: Even though John was holding a gun to Ianto's head he still shoved the door of the lift open an came at John in a threatening manner (John takes a step back and looks surprised).

Yeah, sorry, my server tends to go offline at unexpected moments. They should be back up now. :)

Cool.

Face. Meet cock.

Sleeper in general is Ianto at his toppiest. I think, as you do, that he TOTALLY GOT LAID between KKBB and Sleeper, and I think, if he ever did top Jack, that's where it started. So you can see he's suddenly a lot more himself, and he blurs the lines between work and private with Jack a lot more, in just about every interaction with Jack in that episode.

But I think nothing sums up Ianto's toppiness more than that face.

This one:

he blurs the lines between work and private with Jack a lot more, in just about every interaction with Jack in that episode.

I love how he does it as a total display of power as well. He's the one who wanted to keep the two separate, yet the next episode he's totally waving his dick around, but he's doing it AT JACK because he's not quite agreeing with Jack's methods and actions in that episode. And Jack just lets him. Again.

[off_coloratura]

Oh yes, because Jack is SO HIS BITCH. He probably wouldn't even know where to find his coat right now without Ianto around.

Newbie to TW and Janto, love your polls. The D/s tendencies of the Jack/Ianto relationship is very fascinating. I must confess I had enormous difficulty answering you question, I think because I wasn't sure of the definitions. Physically, I think switch. Psychologically, so much harder. I LOVE an interesting power dynamic, and suspect that I have a secret servile kink. (I also ship Jeeves/Wooster :) I find Ianto helping Jack put on his coat as sexy as all the innuendo. I don't practical experience to base this on, only imagination - I find the it's the subversion of the obvious D/s roles that really excites and fascinates. In Sleeper the hilarity of watching Ianto tease and torment Jack was enhanced by him technically being subordinate in the work place. In pop culture Doms are usually flashy and obvious, but I love the idea of a subtle Dom. I guess it depend on whether you see Ianto serving Jack whims or Ianto organizing Jack's life. I'm not sure - but I prefer the latter. Like Jeeves/Wooster, where the valet is clearly the one in control, and the movie 'Secretary' where the inexperienced sub/secretary outplays her boss; despite outward roles/appearances, there is no doubt who really tops.
