Characters: Ianto, Jack
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack is amazed by his present.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Fourth of five drabbles for
owensheart, who prompted me with ‘Ianto discovers the actual date of Jack’s birthday and decides to surprise him with a little celebration.’
A/N2: I had no idea what Ianto could give Jack for his birthday, so special thanks to
owensheart on this part for giving me the idea for the perfect gift, and for helping me work out all the details. I couldn’t have done it without her.
Jack gasped when he saw what Ianto had given him. Lifting the glowing globe in both hands, he stared as moving images came and went inside it.
“Ianto, where did you get this?”
“I found it at Torchwood House when I was helping Archie catalogue his archives.” Ianto pointed at the next image that appeared, a young boy, beaming widely as he held a toddler. “That’s you, isn’t it? I recognised the smile.”
Jack just nodded. He could barely speak past the lump in his throat.
“It was lost somehow when Boeshane was attacked. Thought I‘d never see it again.”

Date: 2014-01-28 12:33 pm (UTC)Yes, I think so too. Jack's home won't even exist for another 3000 odd years, and all his memopries of it and of his family are so far in his past that he barely remembers, but it's like having not just photos but long lost home movies handed to him. The most amazing gift he could ever receive, short of actually being able to visit the family he still misses so much.
(So sorry you lost all your photos, that must have been heartbreaking).
