Title: Another Chance

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack. Mentions Ianto, the Doctor, the Master.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 267 – Starting Over at tw100

Spoilers: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Doctor Who The Sound of Drums and Last of the Time Lords.

Summary: After a year of torture, there’s only one thing Jack wants.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

 

 

Jack knew he’d hurt Ianto badly, leaving the way he had, but he’d only expected to be gone a few hours, maybe a day.

 

Instead it had been months for Ianto, and over a year for himself. Not a good year, either. The Master tortured him relentlessly at first, but eventually grew bored and ignored the Freak for weeks at a time.

 

There’d been ample time for Jack to think about what he’d do if the Doctor’s plan worked, but as time passed he’d realised there was only one thing he really wanted: the chance to start over with Ianto.

Poor Jack...and it's sad that it sometimes takes horrific circumstances in order for a person to see what's right in front of you.

It is, but it means that something good came out of that year of hell - Jack knows what he wants now and his relationship with Ianto can only benefit from that.

Thank you.
