What if it did work? We know that Ianto has the eidetic memory - what if he didn't have that at birth but gained it through the Excellium Drug?

february 2021 version:

Yvonne: Is there anything I can do? You could come and work for us? For me? There's an opening.

Ianto: No. I'd be afraid I'd become like you. I don't want to have to keep secrets. I don't want to have to constantly deceive everyone. And I know I'd have to. And I'd probably end up pretty good at it.

Yvonne: Yes. I rather think you would. Pity.

Ianto: No. I want to be free of you lot. Go back to Wales. I might need some help getting my job back at the museum.

Yvonne: Consider it done.

Ianto: And wipe my memory. One last time. I want all of Torchwood gone. Okay?

Yvonne: I hate to let the good ones get away. But, fair enough. To Torchwood?

Oooooh...thank you first of all for doing this cause I so rarely get asks lmao. Um....let’s go see if anything I’ve written has “star.”

Here we go! This is from a WIP I just started!

“Yes, Yvonne.” Tommy, a tall, broad-shouldered man with a rough accent and crude demeanor, nods, eyebrows cocking together. Before he steps away to make that call, he slaps Ianto on the back hard enough for him to stumble forward. “Watch how Torchwood does clean up, Phil.”

“My name is Ianto,” Ianto retorts quietly, but Tommy either doesn’t hear him or chooses to ignore him. Mindful of his wobbling legs, Ianto asks Yvonne, “So who’s the right hands? This Torchwood?”

“As I told you, Ianto,” Yvonne begins and finally faces him for the first time since they arrived on this rooftop, “Torchwood is a top-secret organization sanctioned by the British government. We scavenge technology from beyond the stars and use it to arm Britain against the future. For Queen and country.”

The man who can shout out "SHUT UP! SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" while everyone on site can easily kill him.

Stand by watched the leader of Torchwood been tortured(TWICE)

and come save him/her later in all conscience.

Ianto: Hello, I'm Ianto Jones, a sad young welshman who's stuck in London with my shitty drunken dad who's making my life nothing but miserable and I constantly question what the point is in continuing to live but I'm a genuinely kind and nice enough person that I'll listen to your problems and try to help you even if I don't have much I can offer by way of help and even if you end up betraying I'll still end up helping you and do the right thing cause I'm just a very nice young man.

Yvonne: .....
