Title: He's Got It
Written for tw100, challenge 187 - X Factor
Rating: G
Characters: Jack/ Ianto, Team

Summary:   What is it that makes Jack Harkness so special?

A/N: This prompt really gave me a hard time. I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. I sat at my computer and stared at the prompt. I read the other drabbles posted. I still had nothing. And then out of no where it hits me, as Emeril would say...BAM.

 

Is it his thousand watt smile? Or perhaps his fifty-first century pheromones? Maybe it’s his blue eyes, sparkling and clear when he’s happy, darkening with fury when he’s not.

Tosh thinks it’s the suspenders; old-fashioned but somehow so right when he wears them. Owen laughs and says it’s his collection of blue dress shirts. Gwen puzzles over it, but she knows that it’s something right in front of her yet beyond her reach.

Only Ianto knows the secret to being Jack Harkness. It’s the coat. And he loves the coat almost as much as he loves the man wearing it.

Lovely! Though, I agree with Tosh also. The suspenders definitely help.

Well its all part of the 'package,' but I still think the coat rules!

[xrai-namere.livejournal.com]

Too true. The Coat is a character in its own right. It should have its name in the credits, right under Gareth's.
Great response to the prompt! :)

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks. (Was I not complaining to you earlier about having nothing).

I think that coat has been under Gareth Ianto numerous times in fanfic.

[akawho.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's the coat. Definitely, the coat. ;)

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Love the coat!

[iolo1234.livejournal.com]

Absolutely - gotta love that coat.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

I love when Ianto holds Jack's coat up to smell it.

[jedi-harkness.livejournal.com]

He's the total package as far as I'm concerned but the coat is what ties it all together! ;)

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Its the coat that makes the man.

[too-beauty.livejournal.com]

I think Ianto is right! that coat makes me sigh .....

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Gotta love the coat!

[toshiani007.livejournal.com]

Sweet!!! Yes, it's the coat!!!

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!

'Owen laughs and says it’s his collection of blue dress shirts.' oh that line made me laugh!! but yeah, have to agree with everyone else (and ianto)... deffo the coat!!

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Well, he does seem to have a lot of those blue shirts, unless he's Ianto's doing laundry every night!

But the coat rules!

[peacemaker409.livejournal.com]

Coat!Love :D It's definitely the coat lol I think this drabble is perfect :) Great approach to the prompt <3

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This prompt really had me stumped until I read it again and it spoke of "Je ne sais quoi."

And who is more JNSQ than Jack? And when that was done, I thought about Ianto. Who knows I just might write one for another character!

[wake-the-dragon.livejournal.com]

Jack does look sexy in that coat; though I think the answer is all of the above.

I love Jack.

Great drabble.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He is a complicated man, but the coat is his alone.

[zazajb.livejournal.com]

Gotta love that coat...loved this perfect summing up of all things Jack xxx

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Love the icon, BTW!

[jsks.livejournal.com]

ianto loves the coat almost as much jack, yeah the coat closes the deal.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Its the icing on the cake! A very yummy cake IMHO!

[bk_forever]

Definitely the coat - they do says clothes maketh the man, or something like that! Of course, that smile and those pheromones add to the effect, but the coat is the key!

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

He's be nothing without his coat (Ok, maybe a tad over the top, but when someone says Captain Jack - him in the coat is always the way I picture him.)

[lone-star-woman.livejournal.com]

Nice. Kind of reminds me of that time Jack's coat got nominated for a Tubey Award in the category of Best Performance by an Inanimate Object.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

That's lolarious!

[lilferret]

Oh yes, Ianto...it's definitely the coat.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Love that Icon!

[owensheart.livejournal.com]

Spot on htis, its definitely the coat.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[musicaluvr.livejournal.com]

Yep - the coat's definitely the clincher. Which is why I am gonna miss it so much....

Seen pics from S4 and the coat is all wrong, sadly. **sighs**

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

I know - but I guess a winter weight coat wouldn't look right in nice sunny LA. Actually, TW isn't going to look right in nice sunny LA.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

spot on... clever Ianto :D
lovely drabble

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It is the coat, isn't it?
