Title: Keeping Up with the Harkness-Joneses
Author: .Lost-Blue-Phantom. (Also known as lostbluephantom on LiveJournal and seemeeimbeebee on Tumblr)
Fandoms:
Torchwood/Glee
Pairings: Mostly Jack/Ianto and Quinn/Finn, with grautitious mentions of many Doctor Who, Torchwood and Glee ships.
Rating: PG-13, and a sound PG-13 at that
Warning: Lots of fluff, lots of sad chapters, mentions of domestic abuse, occasional violent chapters and Jack and Ianto like to kiss...a lot.
Beta: I don't have one at the moment, but if you'd like to, I'd be more than appreciative!

Summary: After discovering that Ianto is immortal, Jack is able to rebuild his life with the other man. They become Ianto and Jack Harkness-Jones, and are dropped off in Lima, Ohio by the Doctor. Why Lima? The Rift is like a window, with Cardiff on one side, and Lima on the other side. They expect the craziness that comes with the Rift. What they don't expect? Needing to adopt a six year old: Quinn Fabray. And they discover that life doesn't always turn out like they planned.

Notes: This accepts Torchwood/Doctor Who as the predominant canon, and essentially rewrites the Glee canon. There will be iconinc moments in the show that eventually come up as the story goes on and Quinn goes to high school and stuff like that. I've written thirty-nine chapters thus far, not including the prologue, and I'll try to update twice a week, probably Mondays and Wednesdays. It's weirdly written in present tense, just because I was playing around with it and it sort of stuck. I hope you enjoy it, guys!


Prologue-

"Jack?" Jack doesn't look up from his drink. It's the memorial of that day. That day where he lost the one person who meant—no, means—more to him than anything. He doesn't want to be bothered, even if it is by the Doctor. "Jack, I need to you to turn around. I need you to see something."

"Doctor," Jack's voice is etched with pain, but he can't turn around. He tightens his grip on his drink. "Please…just leave me alone. I can't deal with anything today. Doctor, I miss him. I know it's been a little less than twenty years now, but I still can't deal with this. I miss him so much. And I just…it guts me that he didn't know that I loved him. All I could do was spit out a 'Don't' at him. Because I was a coward. Because I couldn't accept that he was dying."

"I think he knew." The voice behind him isn't the Doctor's. Jack sits up straight and for a moment he can't even dare to breathe. "He just wants to know if…if you'd take him back. Even if he were…let's say, immortal? If he was, perhaps, immortal because you accidentally transferred a little Time Vortex to him through Naked Hide and Seek?" Jack turns around and there is Ianto, standing in front of him, the picture of health. His breath catches in his throat. "Hello, Jack," Ianto says fondly. "I've missed you."

"Ianto." Jack runs to the man and he flings his arms around the other man's neck. He kisses him soundly on the mouth, and is so relieved when he feels Ianto's arms tighten around him. When they break apart, Jack whispers, his voice straining with the force of unshed tears, "I love you. I love you so much. I'm sorry I didn't say it when…" He presses kiss after kiss against Ianto's face. "I love you so much, Ianto."

"And I love you too," Ianto whispers, clinging to Jack fiercely. Jack contentedly buries his face in Ianto's neck. "Don't go anywhere?"

"Not a chance," Jack whispers, placing a kiss against Ianto's forehead. "I love you." He kissed Ianto's forehead again. "I love you." He presses his head against Ianto's. "And I'll help you get used to the twists and turns of being immortal." He pulled back to look at Ianto warily. "You weren't teasing me about being immortal, were you?"

"No," Ianto says, placing a hand on the back of Jack's neck to pull him back closer. "I wasn't teasing. I'm here, until the end of time."

"No one else I'd rather have with me," Jack whispers, nudging Ianto's nose with his own. "I…I love you so much, Ianto. I'm sorry I never did right by you, I'm sorry I never told you that I loved you before now. But I'll tell you day. Every second of every day if I have to: I love you."

"I forgive you, Jack. I knew…I already knew. I knew that you didn't mean to say 'Don't'. I've been watching you suffer for almost twenty years now. No more." Ianto takes Jack's hand and brings up aboard the TARDIS, and into his room aboard the ship. Jack and Ianto lay down on the bed across from each other.

Jack reaches out to tenderly stroke Ianto's face. "I…Ianto, I love you. I want to spend the rest of forever with you. And I don't mean as just partners, I mean…as husbands. Will you marry me, Ianto?"

"This is a big step, Jack," Ianto says. Jack begins to pull away, and Ianto quickly grabs the other man's hands in his own. "I didn't say no, Jack. This is just a big step from what things were like before."

"I know," Jack says quietly. "But…I want to make the most of having you back. I want to treat you the way I should've treated you before. When I came back from the Valiant, I did come back for you. But it shouldn't have taken you dying for me to realize that you're all I ever wanted. And now I can't lose you."

Suddenly, Ianto understands. Because he is just like Jack, Jack doesn't have to put up all his defenses for the other man. Jack can just be the loving affectionate person that he is. No Captain, no bravado. Just…Jack Harkness. So Ianto makes a decision. "All right, Jack," he whispers, bringing Jack close. "I'll marry you, and I'll stay by your side and as long as you'll have me."

"So, forever then," Jack smiles broadly. "I love you." He places kisses all over Ianto's face. "I love you."

"I love you too, cariad," Ianto replies.

"Cariad?" Jack replies with a quirked eyebrow. "That's new." He purrs into Ianto's ear, "I like it." They continue kissing for a few minutes more when Jack pulls away. "Another question, Yan."

"Yan? That's new," he says, mimicking Jack's expression. Jack rolls his eyes. "I've already said yes, Jack," Ianto says, propping himself up on his elbows. He smiles brilliantly at Jack. "But yes?"

"Harkness-Jones or Jones-Harkness?" Jack asks, eyes gleaming excitedly.

He thinks about it for a moment. "Harkness-Jones," Ianto says, pressing his forehead against Jack's. "Ianto and Jack Harkness-Jones." And they kiss again.
