AN: Well, knowing you lot as well as I think I do, I'm willing to bet you're all gutted that Ianto died. I cried. Repeatedly. But anyway, just to prove a point to the BBC, I have found a way to bring Ianto Jones back! Enjoy, and review if you think it should be an ep!

The Torchwood Hub, July 2010.

It had been just over a year since that day. Just over a year since Jack Harkness lost two of the most important people he had. Just over a year since he died a little inside.

But now he was back. It may only have been a year to everyone else, but to Jack, it had been a decade. And the pain hadn't subsided at all. It had been a decade of running away from everything, trying to fix what he had broken. And finally, he had the solution.

To anyone passing the waterfront at 5am on this breezy Tuesday morning, there would have been an unusual sight. Standing close to the water feature, his long, navy greatcoat billowing around his ankles, a man held a vial in his hands, gazing at it. He held it so carefully, as though it was the most precious object in the world, the universe even. To Jack Harkness, it was.

It was another 2 hours before Gwen arrived. She had barely changed since Jack had last seen her. Well, minus the baby bump. Her long black hair blew into her takeaway coffee cup as she crossed the Plas and she swore loudly in Welsh. Jack couldn't help but laugh. It felt good to laugh. Gwen's head shot up at the sound of that familiar laugh.
"Jack?"

She stood frozen to the spot, coffee forgotten in her hand.
"..Please don't say I've gone mad.."
Jack laughed again, slipping the vial into his pocket and turning to face Gwen.
"Gwen, you were always a little mad."
She dropped the coffee, sprinting at Jack, arms wide. He grabbed her, hugging her tight.
"You're back! You came back!"
"You betcha!"
He grinned, breathing in deeply, face buried in Gwen's hair. She pulled back suddenly and swung a punch at Jack. He staggered back, clutching his nose.
"You left me! You left! I had to fix this mess alone!"

Jack straightened up again and sighed. He met Gwen's eyes, sadness filling his own.

"I know. And I'm sorry. But I had to. I had to leave, had to try and sort this mess out in my head. But I'm back. For good, I promise."
"..Really..?"
"Really."
Gwen grinned widely and held out a hand to Jack, wiggling her fingers.
"Well come on then! Meet the team!"

"..The.. Team?"
"Well, yeah. I couldn't run this place alone, could I?"

Jack sighed.
"I guess... Lets go then.."
He linked hands with Gwen and smiled at her. It was good to be home.
