THE DEFINITIVE FANON GUIDE TO JACK AND IANTO, PART THE FIRST

[tencrush]

Now that we've all calmed down a bit, it's time for some science. I have put together a wee poll to find out what is going on in ALL YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEADS. There have been many things we haven't been told about Jack and Ianto, most of us have filled in the blanks with out own personal fanon, and I'd like to know what, on the whole, that fanon comprises. On with the science...



[Poll #1171935]



If you have any other questions you think need adressing, let me know and we'll do another one before we start analysing numbers, yeah?

Is that the only time it's ever been mentioned? I know it's the only time it's been seen.

I know he has a habit of telling people he doesn't sleep, so I am thinking it wasn't mentioned, and I know there was one deleted scene where Ianto was coming out of his space but I honestly can't tell you what one that was from.

Ok, riddle me this, Batman: Jack says he doesn't sleep-- and it has certainly become fanon that he doesn't sleep-- so just WTF was he doing when he had that dream about his men in Lahore in 1909? That, to me, looked a lot like sleeping. If he was just 'remembering,' he would have done his 'I'm sitting at my desk looking distant and pensive' thing.

Personally, I tend to think that he *can* sleep, he just doesn't do very much of it. I mean, if I were immortal, I'd *cling* to sleep as a means of keeping my sanity over the millions and millions and millions of days I'd have to be alive.

Can't remember the exact scene, but Jack was telling Gwen all about Torchwood/what he does.
Gwen (half joking) asked him "When do you sleep?"
Jack's reply was "I don't"
Now I never took that literally. I thought he was just winding Gwen up a bit at that point. Jack seems to have all the other basic body functions that non-immortals do - he still eats and drinks - so there's no logical reason why he wouldn't need sleep - maybe not as much as a regular human, but some anyway.
