I love Janto: yep. I edited the chapter so the last few sentences are different now.

Prompt: End of the World or False Alarm


This was never how he imagined the end of the world. While thanks to Jack, Ianto knew that the world didn't end in the twenty-first century there had been plenty of times when it nearly did. Ianto had always imagined going down fighting as the world ended around him or that the world would end long after he was gone. Watching the world end while his boyfriend who was a head in a jar certainly hadn't been an option.

Expect it was an option and it was happening.

"If you want to go I understand," Jack said through their mental link. Ianto shook his head.

"I want to be here with you," Ianto sent back. He knew that he couldn't be by his side the entire time, the Doctor didn't meet him until his 10th self and even then not for a while. Jack sent what felt like a warm hug to Ianto. Ianto was used to being touched telepathically but it still tingled.

Ianto wanted to reach out and grab Jack's hand but settled for resting his hand on the base of the jar. He was sure that Jack got the idea.
