Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Jack
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 288, Week 2 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack and Ianto tell each other about famous people they’ve ‘met’.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Title used is The Man Who Nearly Knew Pavarotti.
Browsing his record collection one evening for something to play, Jack turned to Ianto.
“Did I ever tell you I knew Pavarotti?”
“Really? What was he like?”
“Well, I didn’t really know him as such, but I met him. Once. In passing. Okay, I nearly bumped into him outside a restaurant in London.”
“Ah.” Ianto smiled. “So you knew Pavarotti the way I know Charlotte Church.”
Jack looked intrigued.
“Saw her once from behind when she was opening a summer fair. Could’ve reached out and touched her but a crowd was in the way.”
Jack laughed.
“Yeah. Exactly like that.”
The End

Thank you!

no subject
Date: 2013-07-13 08:28 pm (UTC)Yeah, I figure there must be far more times when Jack ALMOST met someone famous than there are where he DID meet them, and with Ianto, Jack doesn't feel the need to embellish.
Oh boy, am I! It's a mixed blessing - Yay, I'm writing lots; Oh Noes, how do I post them all? I have 10 this week... *hides under bed*
