a/n: Just for fun, picture the 10th Doctor; David Tennant is my favourite after all.
The Ace of Hearts: Preface
The Doctor was considered and called many things by many species, but one thing that he wasn't, was a tempter of Fate. Because there are something's in this Universe and the Worlds out there, that some people—even at his calibar—shouldn't mess with. And if the Doctor had ever learned anything for all of the eternities that he had lived, was that this specific act of Fate needed to be complete. All of the Doctor's past tries have failed, he was always too late, but this time he would complete this act.
In the past he had tried to find Ianto Jones, to find him before he had ever met Captain Jack Harkness. The Doctor was always so close, but when he did try to close in Ianto would always disappear, would go into the darkness. It was frustrating because he knew that keeping Jack functioning was dependent on Ianto Jones. And this time, this time the Doctor found him and he wasn't going to let his hooks loose.
"Ianto Jones,"
The space around was a pocket of frozen nothing in a fixed position in time and space. Ianto lay horizontally floating in the air at the same level as the Doctor's waist, he was stark naked, his eyes closed and fully unaware of where he was and what was about to happen to him. The Doctor looked down at him, the sonic screwdriver in his raised right hand; he brought it down to the soft flesh about Ianto's heart.
It was about time the Doctor got rid of the Fate on his shoulders.
note: just to explain it if you didn't understand: when it was stated that the Doctor had tried to find Ianto before, but he had always disappeared—let us just consider those past lives.
