Not what you think. *grins*

We did get drunk, though. And there were three of us.

And on an almost entirely unrelated note, Rach and I reflected a bit on how our preferred fic "pair"ings are all threesomes. Even IHNIIHBT -- while about Jack and Ianto, it was sort of always involved with groupings of three as well. We have Jack & Ianto -- and Lisa, the ghost in the room. And then Jack, Ianto and the Doctor; Jack, Nine and Rose; Jack, Ianto, and Asha; Ianto, the Face, and the priest; Jack, Ianto and Jens; Jack, Ianto, and Jamie; Jack, Ianto and Rose; and of course, Jack, Ianto & Gwen.

So we have decided what our next fic is going to be. Rest assured, we are not giving up on Jenny. (Which, come to think of it, is a threesome too!)

But we're moving this one up because I have a really hard time writing non-canonical AUs, and writing things that are going to be Jossed. And this fic? It's a Jack/Ianto/Gwen (yes, like that) which is NOT going to be true by the time S3 rolls around. So, we've got to finish it before June. Jenny (has spaceship, will travel!) on the other hand, can wait a bit.

We descibed our Jenny-fic as a sort of BDSM French Farce in Time and Space...

This fic? -- Well, I don't want to give away *too* much, but you could call it our version of curtains!fic. Also, it has a plot. A real live honest-to-goodness plot.

*grins*

Threesomes for the win!

Er. I signed up for tardis_bigbang.

I must be mad. Utterly and completely mad.

*flails*

...that Gmail won't hunt for punctuation marks?

This is a travesty against nature. It means I cannot hunt for things like "Jack:" which would make finding these little snippets significantly easier. Still, I was able to excavate a few more notes from the crack-trenches. So this is for jo02 who requested some more.

One. Ten/Martha. ( This is a Martha/Ten conversation immediately post ::There Are Some Men Who Should Have Mountains To Bear Their Names To Time:: -- If you'll remember, in that story, Ten sorta kidnapped Ianto; after having realised this, Jack phoned Martha and tried to get her to ring the Doctor... and of course, like any normal kidnapper/bloke who knows he's in trouble -- he simply didn't pick up! Clearly he had to go mend some fences... )

Two. Jack/Ianto + Ten. ( This is just a cracked out conversation, inspired by a baby miniature deer pic. And um, animal torture. Remember the part where young!Jack tortured the rabbit, as recounted in ::In Our Bedroom After the War:: -- ...yeah. )

So, rm and I are in the midst of the final installment of I Had No Idea I Had Been Traveling. Soon it will be done. Woe! We will have to work on real stuff, like our novel! What will we do? How will we slack? It's a long, cold time till Easter & more Doctor Who, and even longer and colder till June and more Torchwood...

BUT on Saturday night, in the midst of the Drunken Revel which is Dances of Vice wherein there was, among other things, a pupating burlesque show (really, butterfly pasties and everything, I kid you not!) and much else in the theme of Weimar (must confess I didn't get the butterfly-Weimar connection, but I am often slow) there was some dancing and also some plotting. Or what passes for plotting...

Rach: [spinning Kali around] Have you read copperbadge's latest? The one about Jack's childhood, sort of?
Kali: Yeah. Although my favorite bit was the Jenny part. Jenny and Ianto travel through time and space. *stares off dreamily into space* I love Jenny.
Rach: ...

Sometime later

Rach: [watching tap-dancing strip tease] We always write threesomes, don't we?
Kali: It's true. Everything's better with three...

Even later

Rach: [taking large swallow of second screwdriver (ironic, that)] Jenny/Ianto/Jack ftw!
Kali: [draining fifth highball] omg i ♥ you.
Rach: Wait, really? You really want to do it?
Kali: YES YES YES. And Jack will totally be the bottom.
Rach: Well, duh. Jack will try to pull his, "But I'm Captain Jack Harkness" soldier thing.
Kali: And Jenny will be like, "Bitch, please."

Somehow in the cold light of day, it still seemed like a good idea. So, soon. There will be Jenny & Jack & Ianto. It will be a threesome. There will be surprises. Possibly even a plot. And what will the Doctor say when he finds out?

Watch this space!

If not, why aren't you?? They are SO awesome.

Anyway, if you are, then go and read this story by kahtyasofia right now. Seriously.

Summary: The early education and adventures of Ianto Jones.
Wordcount: ~11,000 [posted in 2 parts]
Authors' Note: This is a prequel to our Jack/Ianto series, I Had No Idea I Had Been Traveling. You don't have to read the rest of the series to read this though. However, if you are reading that, you should read this, as it will be useful/relevant later. It takes place pre-series, and ends just before Doctor Who 2x12: Army of Ghosts begins, i.e. right before the Battle of Canary Wharf. Next up, we return to the main story arc for two more stories which will conclude our series, although after it is done, we plan to return to the 'verse to fill in some gaps and pursue some digressions, such as Jack's childhood on the Boeshane Peninsula, Jack's time on the Valiant, and some interstitial Jack/Ianto adventures (sexual & otherwise!) during season 1 and post-season 2.
Authors' Note, part deux: Ianto's travels abroad clearly owe a great deal to our own, and also to those of faris_nallaneen who was generous enough to allow him to share some of the nuts and bolts of her German experience, since neither of us had ever been there.
