“from that giant dynamo lots to take and lots to give time to breathe and time to live”

Finding each other after two thousand years did not guarantee a happy ending. Several years into Jack and Ianto's marriage, a routine favor for Torchwood ends up pulling Ianto into the inexorable gravity of a hostile planet and the even murkier reaches of his own mind. Will Jack be able to save him, or is he fated to lose his lover after barely having found him?

During his imprisonment on the Valiant, Jack finds himself wondering about the fate of his team. Tortured by the Master with lie after lie, fiction after fiction, he tries to piece together the truth and cling to scraps of hope that they might still be alive. When everything is over, and his ordeal consigned to 'The Year That Never Was,' he returns to Torchwood with a desperate need for comfort, but finds himself instead confronted by four rightfully furious team members, and an ex-lover from hell...

Before it was Ianto’s flat. Then it was their flat. Now it is just a flat.

Jack Harkness remembers Ianto Jones - and their daily breakfast routine in the early 21st Century.
