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 agree 100% with all of this, especially the second paragraph. I was still unsure after S1, although it was the only thing that made sense even then, but after Fragments, definitely.

What's really noticeable about the stopwatch scene is that Ianto seems pretty sure that Jack (who'd have just as much reason to be still pissed off and not wanting to shag the guy who played and used him like that) won't turn him down, and that Jack is actually surprised - and genuinely pleased, like this is Ianto's way of saying that he's willing to forgive him, and he hadn't expected that.
