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?

Oh, I totally agree re the writers not knowing what they are doing if Ianto's family isn't dead! Well, I recently read a fic where Ianto's mom is still alive at a psychiatric instituiton, but has been totally non-responsive for many many years and might as well be dead except her body is still breathing. And that *could* work if it was canon, sort of, but yeah, if it turns out any of Ianto's immediate family is still alive, I'm going to demand the writers be lined up and shot.

Oh, btw, not immediately related to Jack/Ianto, but Ianto = only child, or could he have had siblings? If so, oldest, youngest, or middle?

Ianto's mom being held in a psychiatric institution is the only way I'm willing to accept anyone still being alive. Not that I wish poor Ianto grief, but him being utterly alone is the only thing that makes sense from the backstory we have on Ianto.

I see Ianto as an only child. Or, being the slightly older brother of a younger sister. Basically, I have fanwanked Ianto's over-emotional status in FOOTR. Basically in my mind he is that little boy, parents gone, sister gone. One day he wakes up, and it's just him. I see Ianto's family having died early on. I haven't decided whether I like them having died from something alien-related or not.

Yes! Great idea! Well, not great in terms of saddling poor Ianto with more emotional angst, like he didn't have enough angst already, LOL, but it explains Ianto's reaction in that scene so well. Plus, explains his need to take care of others, if, as a child, he felt that he should take care of his younger sister, who then died at a young age. Would be especially angsty if they lost her to a long illness, and then his mom had to be hospitalized at that psychiatric hospital in FOOTR because she went mad from grief and exhaustion... Um, plot bunny free to a good home? :p
