Description Sketchy sketch for my Jack/Ianto headcanon:

When Jack thinks Ianto is asleep, he tells Ianto all about time travel and about the places he’s visited and all the places he would take him. Jack doesn’t tell Ianto about any of this to his face because he doesn’t want to disappoint Ianto; he thinks there’s no way for them to get to time travel or visit other planets. As far as Jack knows, they’re stuck on Earth, and any day could be Ianto’s last.

But sometimes Ianto is awake, and he listens to Jack talk about travelling the stars with him. And he’s happy, because even though he’s pretending to be asleep, he can tell that Jack is smiling.

Now I started and it sort of became a CoE-fix-it along the way because Jack needs to make good on his promises... Hope you don't mind...

I don't know, what with time travel being all wibbly wobbly and all that, (and many life-saving possibilities like nanogenes) Ianto doesn't have to be gone forever. I think he was good for Jack, and it's not fair that Jack should be alone, so...yeah, canon can go to hell, they'll find a way somehow. They'll keep quiet with their lives so as not to disturb important points in time and space and just go on adventures, maybe rift-hopping.

You have made my day. Now all I can think of is jack taking ianto to the medusa cascade and holding him close as he tells him of all the places he's going to take him and all the things they are going to do. Thank you so much for dat hope. o(^▽^)o

*Waves away your Children of Earth flashbacks and instead replaces them thoughts of Jack and Ianto snuggling on the couch watching movies and eating pizza after a tough day of catching aliens during series 2*

Thanks! *Mission accomplished in making people sad*

Well, "never" is a strong word...depends if you're into wibbly wobbly timey wimey ways to get characters back, as I am. Canon is, at the very least, a stab to the heart - if you're lucky, it's not worse, like it was for me; I spent almost two bloody years angry and miserable at this show and not being able to leave it, and now I can barely even manage to say its name out loud. Anyway, on-screen canon isn't some holy and untouchable thing, like many people believe it is (I've been to hurt by too many shows to believe that); it doesn't present the ONLY way events can play out. It provides its version, as a sort of foundation of fandom, and you can take it as it is, or interpret it and build on it.
