Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 427: Bow at tw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack persuades Ianto to take a brief break from work.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.





Ianto was working late in the archives. With Christmas less than a week away, the Rift was being extra generous, donating an ever-growing pile of ‘gifts’ to be sorted, identified where possible, catalogued, and shelved.


The radio was playing softly in the background to make the task less tedious and he was so engrossed in what he was doing that he didn’t hear Jack approach.


“You know what they say about all work and no play.”


“I believe that saying refers to you.”


“So it does.” Jack gave a courtly bow. “May I have this dance?”


How could Ianto refuse?

The ol' charmer strikes again. ;D

Aww how sweet of Jack, Ianto needs a break.

Great drabble

Jack is very persuasive, and Ianto is very willing to be persuaded. Jack would much rather dance with Ianto than the Doctor

And Jack is always happy to provide an excuse for Ianto to stop working, even if only for a few minutes.

Thank you!

Charm is one thing Jack is REALLY good at ;)

Thank you!

When they were handing out charm, he must have gone back for a quintuple helping! ^.^

Very welcome!

He just kept jumping the queue, or just helped himself ;)

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Hehe, or sweet-talked his way back into the line! ;D

[bk_forever]

I wouldn't put that past him! As we say over here in England, He's a jammy devil!

I have never heard that phrase before! Between Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and watching Are You Being Served on PBS when I was thirteen, I know a lot of your terms. But that's a new one!

[bk_forever]

It sort of means someone who is unfairly lucky, or got something good without having to try.

I used to love Are You Being Served =D

[bk_forever]

I agree, and Ianto deserved a break from work, so what could be nicer?

Thank you!
