"All along, it was there all along" Jack was pacing and Ianto leaned against the doorframe to watch, still perturbed by the reaction to his gem on the sword.
"So … I am the Boss after all?"
Jack swung to face him, "This is not funny Tiger. Shit. You need to remember this, you need to have things in place in the year…"
"Fifty one sixteen?" Ianto said calmly.
Jack blinked.
"John already explained the thing while trying to keep the paradox of it away. I have to remember that this is coming, Minerva and her people are conspiring to overthrow the Agency. They need to all be home in their little base for the toxic stuff. Jack, you forget…edidic memory" Ianto rapped the side of his head, "I will know from the moment we enter that century. I will plan and be prepared. I will also enjoy being so far away from it, devoid of any blame. Not sure how I feel about portraits of me on display though."
"Never your face…shit. Now I know why" Jack started to laugh, "All this time I've wondered what you look like, looked at the handsome man with the taut arse looking off to one side at some handsome mate they say is called his Captain. Huh, why I liked the rank."
"Yeah? You wanted to be a captain to impress little old me?" Ianto snorted.
Jack pulled him in, "Did it work?"
"Are you kidding?" Ianto sighed softly, "Hawt."
Jack laughed, their lips crashing together as Jack revelled in the strong body in his arms, so much life and power contained in the prefect body that could give such pleasure, produce such gifts, and inflict such pain.
"Ianto…I know the 'L word' is…"
"I think it's OK now" Ianto let his forehead rest against Jack's "I don't think we can jinx something that is now a fixed point my Cariad. I love you too."
Jack leaned back to look at him, "You said an argument."
"Yes. Get naked on that bed and so will I, we can argue about who get to top" Ianto said as he started to undo his cuffs and Jack roared with glee, rushing to comply even as they both knew the wrestling match they were about to have would end with him debouched and pleading as Ianto held back the last deep thrust he wanted.
Such was the game.

Clyde knelt and looked into the patio doors, making Kara rise from her seat and walk outside as she knew a Big Foot on his knees was not a pleasant thing for anyone "Hey big boy."
"We wanted to tell you, there is a herd of deer approaching, probably within an hour or so…maybe dusk they will pass across your lawn sweetling."
"Oh thanks, Kai does love them so much" she said with delight, the large man smiling at the pretty little thing…even if she was a hairless one. She waved as he rose to go to his own little ones, heartened as he heard soft laughter from the other room that told of loving.
"Kai, did you hear that" she asked her baby brother, leaning over him so he could grab a handful of her hair, "Deer coming. We can put you in that lovely warm bodysuit aunty Gwennie got you and we will all sit on the porch under rugs and watch them come. Tadda will put out the pieces of apple and carrot for them so they can have a snack and you can wave, yeah?"
She scooped him up and Willem watched her cuddle and croon, seeing what a good woman she was and how well loved their offspring will be. He watched Mack and John cuddle in their chair and felt slight annoyance as he knew what Mack was whispering, the hope and promise of a spark with the blue moon and told himself not to be uncharitable.
Their time would come.
When his queen was ready.
Besides. So much fun in practicing right? He sighed as she turned to face him, her face light and full of love, "What are you thinking?"
"That I love you so much I might melt with the heat of my lust" he replied easily and she laughed, exposing her throat as a mate does who does not fear her man, "Oh Kara. You have no idea the depth of love I hold for you."
Her face softened as she looked at him again, her baby brother nuzzling her throat as he enjoyed her smell, "Willem, if it is anything like the pleasure I feel in your touch alone, then we are both blessed."
He leaned back with delight, feeling the bond between them as the moon mother called to those who wanted a seed.
Then Kara swung back as she glanced at him again "But you better put a ring on it if you want one of these, or Taddy will put a ring on you that might make things…awkward."
He blinked as he looked at her, "Huh?"
"Marry me fool" she hissed, "Not a were hows-your-father thing either. Ask for my hand, then get a ring, on one knee and ask me while they look on with approval. Otherwise, get a spark going in me and your flame might be extinguished with extreme malice. After all … I am their baby girl ya know."
Somehow, the idea that this craven witch might be considered anyone's little girl was so amusing, her hair flying as she danced with the baby, almost sparking with the sunlight filtering through it. Willem watched her and knew there would be pups. There would be a bloodline to be reckoned with.
He knew the moon goddess would be kind.
For one of her own danced for him.
