Author: sunsetmog
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Ianto, Jack/Ianto
Rating: R / NC-17
Word count: 4,012
Spoilers: All of Series One. Set post 1x13, End of Days.
Summary: Sometimes just waiting is the hardest part.
Notes: Written for kraken_wakes, whose birthday I inadvertently missed. Here is the pairing she wanted, and only she could get me to write Owen. I'm not sure quite what that says about our friendship, but still. It probably says something along the lines of I'd do anything she wanted me to, but I'll stop there and just say, Happy Birthday kraken_wakes, it's been a long year and I'm so glad you're around again. I missed you like you wouldn't believe. I'm not sure this is quite what you wanted but still. It's almost on time, which is a change, right? Anyway, it should also be noted that due to my forgetting it was her birthday, I haven't had a chance to watch any of the episodes again, so any mistakes are entirely mine. Sparkly beta done by kraken_wakes herself.
