A/N: Neither Torchwood nor the song lyrics belong to me. Torchwood and its characters belong to RTD and BBC, and despite my pleas, they're not letting me have them. The song lyrics at the start are from Where You Want To Be by Darren Hayes, who's a musical genius and no, he's not letting me have his song either.


Are you where you want to be?
Did you get there easily?
Did they make you sacrifice?
Did you make a sharp left
When you should've turned right?
Are you where you want to be?
Did you sell off all of your gold
Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold?

One: John

They were on and off more times than a light switch. Jack Harkness and John Hart were the Time Agency's hottest couple – meant in both instances, as the trip to the sun proved. But they could never be truly happy. The two men were too similar to be properly compatible. Being in one another's presence for more than a couple of days drove them crazy, but the make-up sex was wild. But the time came when Jack had to leave, and moved onto

Two: Rose

Well, to say Rose and Jack were an item would be a lie. He did fancy her, though, and he probably would have got his way with her if it wasn't for the Doctor's interference. Though it would have been casual sex, for sure. As much as he liked Rose, he couldn't have spent his whole life with her. He was too much of a traveller, and when he was abandoned with his immortality, he headed off to find

Three: Emily and Alice

Torchwood Three in the late nineteenth century contained, perhaps surprisingly for the era, two women by the name of Alice and Emily. Both were single ladies, and both were, on more than one occasion, seduced by Jack. Occasionally even at the same time. Back then, he struggled to find any male conquests, but he was more than happy with his two female sleeping partners. Until fate intervened, and he found

Four: Estelle

She was the one woman Jack would happily have grown old with, if that were at all possible. The time they spent together were some of the happiest years of Jack's life. He'd finally found someone, or so he thought, that properly understood him. But an immortal man with a mortal woman was never going to happen, so after many years, Jack ended up with

Five: Ianto

The twenty first century is when it all changes, and when it came to love, that was certainly the truth for Jack. The Welsh teaboy who looked good in a suit wasn't exactly going to be Jack's ideal partner, but they say opposites attract, and that certainly seemed to be the case. Of all the people Jack had slept with in his lifetime (and to count the notches on his three bedposts would take rather a long time), Ianto was the only one Jack truly loved. Yes, he'd loved Estelle and the others in their own ways, but Ianto was the first person Jack had said the three little words to, and actually meant it with all his heart. He'd waited a long time for Ianto, but he was finally satisfied that he was exactly where he wanted to be. And Jack was happy.
