It's torrent haunting time. Which means time for distraction from tempting cut tags (you bastards). So I'll whine a bit instead.
Gwen and Ianto, total BFFs in canon this year. Way too much Jack/Ianto fic ignores this canon and makes the baby Eunice cry by insisting they are five seconds away from a hair pulling screaming match over who gets to own Jack's cock. Not that I expect everyone to come around to my, and I would suspect Jack's, preferred answer to this question (THEY BOTH DO)...but it is weird. I would think the logical fic progression for OTP purposes would be to emphasize the BFFness, because obviously if they are painting each others nails and giggling over hot boys and girls together (which, btw, they totally did in To The Last Man...minus the nail painting, but I dunno, maybe they met up for ice cream and manicures later, I would not be surprised) then the lack of strain indicates no real threat to Jack/Ianto. That's a good thing 'shipwise. Isn't Ianto being pissy and jealous and freaked out that Gwen could steal his man rather counterproductive? It's like throwing up your hands and going "Yes, Jack wants Gwen more so the only way to make sure Ianto keeps him is to dump on Gwen." Who wants a 'ship based on that?
Not me! What I want is Gwen and Ianto going shopping together! 'Cause you know she takes him with, since he's got the whole family tailor eye thing going and the snazzy suits, so she trusts his taste. Why hasn't anyone written that fic? Or the one where they spend an entire week trying to one up each other playing practical jokes on Jack, until it all ends in explosions and Jack covered with purple paint hollering at both of them while they try to hide the giggles behind their hands. Or the one where they trade blow job secrets over lunch. Or that time they discovered a shared love of some sort of awful boyband pop group (don't ask me what, you tell me) and Rhys and Jack both laughed at them, so they went to a concert together without them and had a fantastic time while the other two sat at home sulking.
If I wrote fic, that's what I'd write. BFF FOREVER. (and okay, in my head sometimes nekkid BFFs, but it's not a requirement)
I so need a Gwen/Ianto BFF icon. And a Gwen icon. Since I have neither I will use my other Torchwood OTP. Ianto/Coffee, the 'ship no man or woman or alien dare come between.
