I'M WORKING ON IT...

[tencrush]

Just rewatching some episodes to get some inspiration re. Ianto and what I am now calling his alpha-in-training-ness. Wow. He is the weirdest character, dudes. He's never on screen, he's always physically reserved and he doesn't say much, but when he does he COMMANDS attention, it's way more blatant than I thought it would be.

But anyway, I'm getting a bit distracted, so I'll just post random things in the meantime.

Watch this scene from Day One again.
"None of you have partners?" says Gwen. And LOOK! Jack was totally going to say something and then he shuts his mouth and changes his mind.



He's so doing the teaboy already at this point in time.

I saw some bitterness on Ianto's part.

Ianto : ...No questions asked and that's the way you like it

I always saw that part of the quote as sexually connoted. Ianto is saying that sleeping with Jack did bring its part of disillusions. He's clearly hurt that Jack was the style of guy dumping you out of his bed at 3am and not worrying about finding a cab for you.
I'm sure he never asked what Ianto was doing in the middle of the night in the hub (knowing oblivious!Jack, he probably thought Ianto was here to get him)

Yeah, I had this discussion earlier, even in Everything Changes we see Ianto in the Hub at night, in Jack's office no less, with Jack's full knowledge, while we cut to everyone else at home with their alien devices and Jack in the pub with Gwen. It's not like it wasn't known to Jack that Ianto had no life outside the Hub, it was established in the first episode. He just never asked why.
