Poor Ianto, so self sacrificing, willing to be unhappy to make sure Jack is OK. I WISH that I could be a staff writer. No offence to BP or CT but there is no way in HELL either of them would be coming back to DW and Gwen would suffer a serious retcon induced amnesia in TW, which she would sadly *heh* never recover from.

Glad you like Jack's iffy shielding, it would be the only way he could find out about Ianto's feelings for the Doc, cos poor Ianto would never say anything.
