Ianto Jones doesn't know half the things Captain Jack Harkness knows, and most of that is because Jack refuses to share any of it.

Jack had expected to find a room full of the dead. Instead, he found a room full of the dead and one man, barely alive. All it took was a little bit of blood to save him.

Jack wants to wash away the demons for Gwen and Ianto.

Sometimes the only answer you can give is ‘Yes.’ So, Ianto says yes, and he says yes, and he says yes. Or Jack has a nightmare and Ianto comforts him the best way he knows how.

"This is one of the four days you have listed as your birthday in your official record."

When Jack gets back, things are different—he’s different—and he’s not sure where he fits anymore, but he should’ve known that there was a place reserved just for him.

Jack and Ianto negotiate their new "official" relationship through a series of dates. Ianto's gun-shy, Jack's secretive, and they're both trying as hard as they can.

In retribution for a not-especially-funny prank in the Hub, Gwen decides to exact her revenge on the mischief maker: one Ianto Jones. On a work trip away, she comes up with a carefully-concocted cover story and springs it on him, but will he play along?
