You said Javic deserves *an* Ianto. Did you mean *a Ianto*???

akadskakakskdkkdak I meant “an” asdkadsasallaal 

I dunno, it just makes sense in my head as you use “an” before a word that begins with a vowel, and I guess I was considering Ianto a quantity/unit. I mean, I could - and am probably - wrong, but my brain thought it made sense dsakaksdkas.

13 and 17!

Thank you!!!

13. favourite villain, and why? what did they bring out in the team that you enjoyed seeing? John Hart, all the way. I actually (usually) find his relationship with Jack much more compelling than the Master and the Doctor, mostly because I think the dynamic between the Doctor and the Master tends to highlight where the Master went wrong, but the dynamic between Jack and John highlights where Jack went right. He was able to move on from his past self and his toxic relationship with John and become a better person, and I just love seeing how John’s presence pushes and pulls on that progress Jack has made. Also he’s so god damn funny yet infuriating. It’s awesome and hilarious to see the rest of the team grapple with his personality, as well as his mysterious connection to Jack. And James Marsters carries that character with absolute fucking perfection.

17. if your favourite member had a pet, what would it be? if you can’t pick a favourite, tell me about more than one! Ianto absolutely has a therapy cat. I wrote a whole god damn fic about this lmao. I also like the idea of Jack loving big loyal dogs who are occasionally a little dopey lol

I didn’t actually read any of the numbers so this will be fun.

Gwen, Ianto, Owen 15

Hi!! I absolutely adore your recent artwork of Ianto, the countrycide/captain jack harkness and I was wondering if it would be okay if I used one as a phone background? I just really love it!

Thank you so much! Yes, you may absolutely use it for your phone

WAIT DONT POST THAT LAST ONE I DIDNT SEE HOW MANY NUMBERS THERE WERE

Gwen, Ianto, Owen 6

3 names + a # ask game !

Go clothes shopping with:

Gwen! As much as Tosh is theoretically the one with the fashion sense, I dress more like Gwen anyway. Plus it’d be fun and we’d have a gay old time :)

Go to Ikea with:

I’d say Ianto, but I feel like it’s not really his scene. Owen, however -- Owen would not be a fan. And I’d drag him along on my weekly Ikea wander to soothe my soul all the same.

Go grocery shopping with:

Ianto, obviously. I feel like if I did it’d be in the process of learning to cook something, which I think would be fun, and he’d probably judge me for what I eat regularly, but also he’s dating Jack, so...he’s used to it.

end of year WIP meme !

“Actually--” Gwen steps forward, reaching a hand out to stop him, “I’ll go.”

There’s a palpable hesitation in the air as Owen pauses, eyeing her. They all know that Ianto harbors a particular dislike for the man whose face she now wears, but she can only hope he’ll put it aside for the moment. “I want to talk to him,” she reiterates. She simply wants to talk to someone who is, usually, a grounding force in her life. There’s another moment of hesitation, before Owen nods, stepping out of her way.

“Do you want me to come with?” Rhys asks, and she turns back to him with a soft smile, though she’s unsure how such an expression translates on this face.

“No, it’ll only be a few moments, I promise, lovely.”

There is doubt on his face, but he nods, stepping back to allow her to go, and her expression flashes a grateful tone before she goes to descend the stairs. There’s a momentary fumble at it, but she manages, quickly disappearing up through the doorway and into the pathway that leads up to the office.

When she opens the door, Ianto is alone, sorting pamphlets behind the desk as she exits from the main area of the Hub.

“Ianto?”

There’s a visible wariness to his gaze as he turns to her, a little too quickly, far more on his guard than he would have been under normal circumstances. In fact, she can imagine that had she looked and sounded like herself, he wouldn’t have even looked up. “...Gwen.” She can’t blame the way his gaze trails over her for a long moment, before brilliantly blue eyes flick up to meet her gaze once more. “How are you?”

“I’m trapped in the body of the most aggravating man I know, so I’ll have to say today’s one for the record books,” she returns. Instinct would have her stepping towards him, perching on the desk and swinging her legs as they spoke. Caution keeps her where she is, standing awkwardly by the hidden stone doorway. Her hands seems too useless at her sides, so she shoves them deep into the pockets of Rhys’ leather jacket.

“Yep, can’t imagine it’s pleasant.” He returns to sorting the pamphlets, and she shifts around the desk as casually as she can, opting to seat herself on the opposite side. He glances up, briefly, before going back to his job. “I’ll bet Rhys is a bit wary?”

You also get a deleted scene, this one from I Know Not Everybody (Has a Body Like You), in which Gwen went to speak to Ianto rather than Rhys. I’m sure I’ll write something like this awkward interaction later, but I have to say I prefer the version that led to Rhys & Ianto’s Excellent Drug Run.

You’re a giver, but you’re also unapologetically you. You write what people want, but you do it in a way that is your own and what you want. AUs are something you relish in because you’re writing what you want in life, not necessarily you want that specific situation to happen to you, you just want something different from your life. Something more fantastical. Also, you feel like you’ve been forced to play it safe your whole life, so you’re drawn to the danger and the not so morally good because it’s thrilling

Jacklynn....first of all, I have literally no words, because one... this is really kind of you, and two, oh my god, you’re really right!

I really love writing people fics, but I always want to do it on my terms as much as possible, and I love putting my own twists on tropes and stories, even if you may have already seen them in fandom before. I love AUs so much, because I can explore different narratives and ideas that I can’t/don’t in real life but also because I feel as if I don’t know canon source material as well. And I have most definitely played it safe my entire life...if you consider many, many things about my South Asian culture and family.  😭

give me an extremely specific assumption you have about me based off of my fanfic. go.

[princess-of-the-worlds]

Hold on. Hold. On.

I’m here to shame you. Did you just say AN Ianto??? AN??? A N ????
