Summary:  One day, two parallel universes 

Over the Hill

He wasn’t surprised when he was greeted by the team upon entering the Hub. New faces along with the old. Cake and presents and balloons; they always made him wear a silly hat. He hated celebrating his birthday.

Jack made dinner that night, and remarked that he couldn’t understand why Ianto disliked his birthday so much. “You’re alive, you’re fifty. It sure beats the alternative.”

“Sometimes I wonder,” Ianto replied as Jack’s eyes filled with tears.

Ianto’s eyes filled with tears as well. For Tosh and Owen and the many others they’d lost who weren’t there to celebrate with them.

 

Water Over the Dam

Cardiff hadn’t changed much over the years. Jack trudged up the slope to the where he knew he would find Ianto.

It never failed to shock him. “Ianto Jones. August 19, 1983, – July 9, 2009.  “Didn’t even live to see thirty. I never made a fuss about his birthday, but I wish, just once, when everyone was still alive, that we’d had a real celebration.

Jack smiled. “He would have hated it of course, but afterwards I would have taken him home, and made it up to him.”

“Happy 50th birthday, Ianto,” Jack said before transporting away for another year.
