Series Title: Not Just a Drifter

Series Premise: What Jack found out about Ianto's Torchwood history in the pre-series flashback in Season 2 episode "Fragments" omitted the fact that Ianto had been Torchwood's employee since shortly after he had been arrested for shoplifting… at the age of 16.

Author: "Village Mystic"

Story Title: The Seductions of Ianto Jones

Summary and Summary Warnings:

Ianto Jones' training at Torchwood for undercover work included being able to do the James Bond thing, including seduction; and the 21 Jump Street thing, including blending in with any student population, to get an advantage. His main objective was to profile young science students, stay under cover, and get a high level education at the same time. Until this one time (not at band camp), when his behavioral psychology professor had this Neo-Kinsey Experiment elective for some of his students.

Non-con, graphic sex. Pre- J/I; Pre-L/I except for the end of the story.

Doctor Who characters appear. Now finalized at 21 chapters, which I will be uploading a few at at time.

Genre: Drama, Angst, Adult

Longer warnings/Author's Note:

Graphic Sex, Non-Con, Bondage, Swearing, Masturbation.

The non-con and bondage in this story are considered dark elements and part of the angst conflict. Don't' like, don't read. But don't tell me its bad because there's non-con sex during the story… the theme of the story knows that non-con is bad but it makes good adult drama!

This story is an answer to writing the most angsty "secret origin" for Ianto Jones possible that I could conceive.

I may later on write some T adventures or accept collaborators on the only medium angst-drama adventures of the stuff referred to in passing, but here you have a dark origin element that still allows the first two seasons to you see in the show to be exactly as you saw them… now with more off-screen angst than ever!

The first chapter is general and your last chance to bail on the story before the adult stuff begins.


Chapter One: Teen Agent

I watched Bernie disassemble the coffee machine, and circled behind him to get the best angle, comparing the barista's fast hand movements to what I had studied earlier today in the manual. Bernie wasn't Torchwood, but their supervisor Arnold Wheeler was.

Less than a month ago I had been undercover at Oxford in advanced physics and computer classes. My assignment as usual was to observe those around me, blend in, and write detailed reports for Torchwood. After the objective material, my subjective conclusions were to include speculation on the career paths of those around me, students and teachers alike. Then, if any of them seemed to be working with aliens or alien technology, I was the first line of defense in stopping them before they were a danger to the Earth. Heady stuff for a teenager, but I'd been doing it for nearly three years at that point.

This had been my third long-term, academic undercover assignment, having spent the previous year at Cambridge, and the better part of two other years at exclusive boarding schools. This was, however, the first time I had the chance to play my actual age (nineteen).

The advantage of being recruited so young to Torchwood was that they realized that they actually owed me an education, which was kind of an irony for someone who had originally dropped out of school, not taking any of the advanced placement classes, nor tests for university. Essentially what this meant was that as long as I fulfilled my duties, I could fill out my schedule with any plausible elective to fit my cover identity. As an undecided science major, I could easily fit in my brilliant behavioral psychology and criminal psychology electives. The things I had been learning in my psychology classes both here and the year before at Cambridge increased the validity of my subjective observations, and had lead me to my first two cases of actual alien suspicion amongst the hard science majors. I had done a lot of side reading on anthropology and sociology, which were really flip sides of the same coin. Observing the social dynamic, the rules of conduct, inclusion and exclusion. However, the psychology classes gave me a living, interactive insight into the motivations of individuals under the pressures of society, self and biological needs.

So that's what I was doing mostly, trying to find the disaffected brilliant minds and figure out if they were going to be the next "Lex Luthor" or were already secretly using alien technology, talking to aliens, or could possibly be recruited by Torchwood after they got their degrees.
