Well you've done it guys Rachy Babes is writing :D so you get this a day early. This hasn't been seen by even her, so you're venturing into new territory here.

'Sashaxh': this has been in the works for a while now. I love your idea, may work a bit of it in :D

'Elementi Cullen': I believe the E-mail I literally just received may be said Jack on Jack…hmmm. Keep an eye on 'scenes you never saw' (Rachy Babes's work)

'Rachy Babes': negotiations complete, here you go :) no, no Pokémon in my history so should be alright. Fawks comes off a little brash in this chapter, but don't worry, we all know she was just confused. Ohhh that's who that belongs too…she could always come and get it.

Another constellation dies
Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky
Just call me when the phone stops ringing
Thanks for coming by
I'm just glad I'm on your good side
Where it's smouldering or freezing
It's never all that easy to decide

And that's the nature of the chase
You fall so far behind you end in first place
Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own regret
There's no harm in playing hard to get
Boundlessness deceives me
Baby you may turn the corner yet

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are

Scissor Sisters - Land of a thousand words

The Library felt packed, compared to the normal gathering that happened in its walls. Jack and Winter sat on the rug by the fire, Other Jack and Ianto were taking up the sofa, Fawks stood by the Doctor while Rory sat in the big dark green chair, with Amy sat on the armrest. Everyone (apart the two Jack's) was struggling to think of anything to talk about. 'We have an updated system now too, I mean it's nothing Tosh could come up with but the speed must have doubled, it's a lot more…3051 than it was before.'

'Oh really, you know before we left I was thinking of updating the systems, not much point now I guess. Did you manage to salvage that database or are you just crossing it with some 2000's earthtech.'

'It's a bit of a mix really…' Amy looked like she was about to slip off the chair with the boredom of it. Even the Doctor seemed tired of the technical conversation. Winter sighed and looked up at Ianto.

'How have you been?' He shrugged.

'Oh you know, same old same old.' She frowned at her Jack, who was avidly listening to Other Jack's lesson on wiring a vespa-form tracker into the engine of the SUV, and motioned for Ianto to follow her. He smiled in understanding and the pair wandered over to the gigantic bookcases.

'I always used to joke about Jack meeting himself but I never thought we'd actually have to put up with it.' She sighed. He chuckled and picked a book off the shelf.

'I think I figured the world would implode if he was to step in the same room as himself. I'm surprised they're not through the bedroom door already.' She heard the playful tone in his voice but caught the slightly worried look in his eye.

'Don't worry, that leaves you with me, I'm not such a bad consolation prize am I?' He smiled gently.

'ydych chi byth yn wobr gysur, Winter' She blushed and nudged his elbow.

'You need to watch what you say around here, the TARDIS translates languages for you. Everyone will hear you.'

'Ni chredaf fod yn mynd i roi'r gorau i mi.' She opened her mouth in surprise and smiled embarrisedly.

'Maybe if I ask her nicely she'll mask Welsh for a while.' He laughed and she rolled her eyes, picking up a random book and thowing it at him. For a moment he stood shocked as the book landed on the floor with a heavy thud, then he sprang at her. She squeeled in delight causing everyone, even both Jacks, to look up and watch him chase her in and out of the various book cases. Jack smiled sadly.

'They always did get on well. I take it they hit it off pretty well in your universe.'

'Hit it off? Are you kidding they couldn't keep their...' Fawks had moved to stand behind Other Jack and she conspicuously leant forward and pinched his neck, hard. He flinched but changed his sentence. 'Yeah, they couldn't keep their... personalities apart for long. They fit pretty well. You can tell they were close here.' Jack nodded, too taken with the image of Winter and Ianto playing in the library to look back at them.

'I already know.' He mentioned casually, Other Jack and Fawks looked confused.

'Know what?' she asked.

'About her sleeping with Ianto and you.' Rory spat out a mouthful of water, surprising Amy who slid off the arm of the chair and onto the floor. The Doctor looked over at the two and rolled his eyes, picking Amy off the floor.

'You do?' Fawks seemed stunned but Jack just shrugged.

'She told me.'

'but... but...Why? I mean no offence Jack but she's your girlfrined and she slept with two men she'd known for what? A few week and she just told you? What?'

'Why wouldn't I.' Winter and Ianto had stopped playing aand were now stood hand in hand by the fire.

'I...I don't know it just...seems odd.' Winter frowned, she could see where Fawks was coming from but her words still cut slightly.

'Yeah well I don't like keeping secrets from him, I love him. He knows about you, why should he know about Other Jack and Ianto. And for the record can I remind you that the reason I went back to the hub that night anyway was because you were off nursing your pride with some totally random stranger that you hadn't even known for minutes, so before you accuse me of sleeping around take a good hard look at yourself Rachel.' She dropped Ianto's hand and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

'Congratulations.' Jack told Fawks sarcastically. 'you know, for her girlfriend sometimes you can be pretty cold towards her feelings.' He stood up and followed Winter out of the room. Amy and Rory excused themselves for bed while the Doctor wrung out his hands.

'Ah...I guess I'll just...ah...leave you to it.' He headed for the door but spun around to point at them all. 'Don't touch anything.' And with that he was gone. Ianto rolled his eyes at the look on Fawks' face.

'Don't be so melodramatic.'

'I didn't mean it like that.' She told them.

'We know.'

'I just... they're so open with each other. I've never felt like that...like I could just tell someone everything and trust they'll still love me.' Ianto put a hand over her shoulder. 'Why don't I get to feel like that?'

'You will, when you're back home, and you're settled and everything's right. Then you can work towards that.' Other Jack looked over at his husband as the pair discussed Fawks' relationship, how was he so calm and knowledgable? It must have been because he had put the younger man through a lot of pain to get to this point. Did he feel like he could tell Ianto anything. No. But maybe, just maybe, one day.

TTT

'You alright?' Jack asked as Winter put down her hair brush and flopped into bed at his side.

'Yeah.'

'You looked upset.'

'She didn't mean it. She's an idiot but she doesn't intentionally go out to hurt me. I think she was just a bit shocked I'd told you.' She thought for a moment before looking up at him. 'Are you ok with it Jack? Because if you're not I'd prefere you told me so we could deal with it.' He sighed and reached his arm around her, letting her snuggle in.

'We both know you loved Ianto, and we both know you love me. You seriously think that If I was given the oppertunity to get in on that, that I wouldn't?' She giggled. 'come to think of it, since they're both here...' he waggled his eyebrows and she slapped his chest playfully. 'In all seriousness though.' She quietened her giggles and look up at his beautiful eyes. 'I love you, and I know that, with the pair of us looking like we'll be living for a while, this isn't always going to be exclusive. We'd get bored and fight, I've seen it happen. Just as long as we come back to each other, so long as we're open, honest and we comprimise, I can't think of any reason to hold back.'

'Really? You're that open to it?' he pulled a disgusted face.

'Just so long as I don't have to hear about Fawks.' Winter laughed and pulled him down to kiss him.

'Deal.' She murmered, biting his lip gently.

TTT

'ydych chi byth yn wobr gysur, Winter' - You're never a consolation prize Winter

'Ni chredaf fod yn mynd i roi'r gorau i mi.' - Don't think that's going to stop me
