Was Jack REALLY buried for ALL THAT TIME, how often did he die and and how did this affect him?

The possible answers to this question really shouldn't make me have to bury my face in my hands so my colleagues don't hear me laughing!

[tencrush]

It's SCIENCE! Don't mock the science.

I think Ianto would be wary, but not outright hostile, with the Doctor. Having less to do with his Torchwood One past, he'd need both the Doctor and Jack to convince him that Jack's not about to take off with the Doctor and leave Ianto behind again.

[tencrush]

I CAN'T CHANGE THE POLL AGAIN!!! The poll is a fixed point in history, it cannot be altered.

Ianto meets the Doctor? Instahate. For the Doctor, Ianto = Torchwood 1. For Ianto, the Doctor = Torchwood's enemy plus the guy for whom Jack ran out on him. The tension culminates in a bit where Ianto was going to shoot the Doctor in an extremely hardcore and manly fashion like he was going to shoot Cpt John, followed by complex makeup sex.

As for the Victorian lesbians: quite possibly a bisexual woman and a straight woman, in which case, they were all at it like rabbits.

I am quite tempted to write the obv Hartmann/Jones filth. (If someone has already done this, links pls pls pls.)

PS Coat = unstable molecules.

[tencrush]

Nobody has, as far as I'm aware, except for the FILTH I have written IN MY HEAD. You should totally go for it.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

I meant to add that the Doctor showing up is probably Ianto's worst nightmare, given (a) Jack's propensity for pissing off with him and (b) Canary Wharf.

I will now march in with no previous affiliation and say your polls are made of WIN and so are your fanalyses and I AM FRIENDING YOU RIGHT NOW.

And:
IF Ianto were to meet the Doctor, how would they be together?
Ditto thefannishwaldo.

THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AGAIN FOR THE PURISTS: Jack/Ianto, where are they at right now?
NONE OF THE ABOVE. They are committedly shagging and have not yet addressed the fact/concluded that it is (at least somewhat) serious (but know it is, deep down in their squishy hearts).

Was Jack REALLY buried for ALL THAT TIME, how often did he die and and how did this affect him?
I know not. Need to see more fic exploring these possibilities before making a decision, or think on it further. But his coat is magic.

The Doctor would like Ianto, but Ianto would be jealous like whoa and get all petty and put him down and generally remark that he looks better in a suit and roll his eyes a lot.


You have basically just written the outline to my huge fic-o-d00m that's currently at 5,000 words and is only halfway through IN 36 WORDS!!

I hate you ;) *grin*

[tencrush]

That's probably because that is the correct answer and we all know it. (I actually chose the next one down but that's as may be.)

[stopwatch-plz.livejournal.com]

hehe - it is, it is... just made me laugh so much I nearly spat water over my keyboard XD

These polls have really cheered up my week - thank you :)

If I were writing the Ianto meets the Doctor episode, Ianto would eye-roll every five minutes and snark non-stop. The Doctor would be all WTF at this pesky human who's so blatantly NOT impressed with him, then he would get intrigued, and then he would get interested, at which point Jack would get jealous and physically grab Ianto away from the Doctor. At which point Ianto would eye-roll at Jack and send both Jack and the Doctor to their rooms. And they would both go. Meekly. With their tails between their legs. You get the picture.

[tencrush]

And THEN Ianto smacks Jack on the arse with his clipboard, yeah? I haven't been able to get that image out of my head all day. AND I THOUGHT OF IT. Gah. Weirdness.

[nightspring.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks, now I'm going to have that image in my head all day too! :D

[bubbleslayer.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm going to explain my answer to the Ianto/Doctor question.

Now, I needto preface this by saying I'm very new to the DW fandom, but I've been with Torchwood since day one. This leaves me much more comfortable with Ianto than the Doctor.

From what I've seen of the Doctor, I don't think he'd dislike Ianto, but I don't think he'd really notice him at first. He'd think 'oh, so that's the guy shagging Jack' and move on. I think, after he learns about what happened to him at Canary Wharf, and with Lisa, he'd be intrigued. He'd hate that Ianto took such a risk keeping Lisa alive when the Doctor had sacraficed so much to rid the world of the Cybermen, but he'd respect the humanity of the act.

Ianto? Oh, he'll be pissed of at the Doctor for so many reasons...the top two being.
- I think, rightly or wrongly, he'd be upset that the Doctor didn't do more to end the Cyberman attack quicker or prevent it completely. I don't think Ianto would be all that rational on this subject and wouldn't really be able to see the Doctor's side of things. Grief does that to people.
- I think he would be jealous of the fact that Jack has pined for the Doctor for so very long, and chose to just leave Ianto for him at the drop of a hat. Ianto's smart, I can't believe that he hadn't figured out that Jack was waiting for the Doctor. Jack's changes in the mission statement of Torchwood after Canary Wharf would've been a huge red flag.

Hope that all makes sense, it's early here and I haven't had my coffee yet....

[tencrush]

You're very welcome. I aim to please. As does Ianto.

[nightspring.livejournal.com]

Okay, getting pleased by Ianto? That I'd take any time!

[roundstonewoods.livejournal.com]

Yes. Thank you. That image will keep me alert all day. Not focused on work at all, mind, but definitely alert.

[wiccanslyr.livejournal.com]

It's not science! There were no blinking or flashing lights! We all know that for there to be science there MUST be blinking and/or flashing lights!

[pinkfairy727.livejournal.com]

I love these polls!

p.s. Jack's coat is MAGIC! *worships coat*

[cayendi.livejournal.com]

IF Ianto were to meet the Doctor, how would they be together?
Though I chose 'The Doctor would like Ianto, but Ianto would be jealous like whoa and get all petty and put him down and generally remark that he looks better in a suit and roll his eyes a lot', I don't really think Ianto feels threatened by Jack's relationship with the Doctor, though I do think he'll be jealous and roll his eyes a lot, just like he did with John. I think, all in all, he may be more stand-offish than anything else.

Jack/Ianto, where are they at right now?
I chose 'Committed, serious and monogamous, because I think they are.
I think your choice between being either monogamous or polyamorous is strange though. One does not rule out the other, since you can love more than one person while you're still monogamous. Unless you meant polygamous, of course.

I had no idea what to fill in for the buried question. Personally, I think he died over and over again, but with all the earth stuck in his throat and other cavities, he might not have been 'back alive' enough to notice (am I making sense?)
As for the loopy part ... he's bound to have gained a fear for being stuck in small spaces ...
The rest *shrugs* I really have no idea

[tencrush]

I can't believe people would even VAGUELY ENTERTAIN the notion that Ianto would be the sub. He's so meticulous. He can smack me on the arse with a clipboard any time.

[cayendi.livejournal.com]

Oh, I really like this option.
Can I choose this one? Please? :)

[gypsylady.livejournal.com]

I think we all will. And for that I am truly grateful.

[tencrush]

No, I mean polyamorous.

Wiki say this: Polyamory is the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Polyamory is distinct from polygamy, being closer to a personal outlook than a predefined bonding system. It is grounded in such concepts as choice, trust, equality of free will, and the more novel idea of compersion, rather than in cultural or religious tradition.
