Late night TW rec
May. 12th, 2007 01:43 amThere are times when fandom makes you want to reach for the bleach and apply liberally to the brain and/or eyes. Thankfully this was not one of those times. Lovely, sweet, utterly cracked fic. Yep there are wedding bells. Yes the pairing is (eventually) Jack/Ianto. But if a wedding was ever done on Torchwood? It'd be done this way if the writers had any sense. Several times it had me giggling out loud. Ianto is snarky and gorgous, (as is the bride), but the real showstealer is the Archbishop :)

The irritating thing, of course, was that Owen was right, Ianto reflected glumly that night as he tried to sleep. Sacrificing himself was a small price to pay for the survival of Humanity. He just thought it would have been nice if everyone had allowed him the chance to make that noble sacrifice himself, instead of telling him that he was going to do it and they'd prefer it if he didn't yell so loudly because the Press might hear him. Which they did and promptly broke the story in headlines which ranged from the tactful ("Young Welshman chosen as Special Envoy for Earth" - The Times) to the outrageous ("Kinky Alien Love Machine Seeks Human Flesh!" - The National Inquirer).
