He's Got It

Author: Aviv_b
Title: He's Got It
Written for [info]tw100, challenge 187 - X Factor
Rating: G
Characters: Jack/ Ianto, Team
Disclaimer: Not mine; Aunty B's and RTD's
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.

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!

You should! The Ianto one is really good too :) I'd love to see a Gwen one. You're a really good writer :)

Thanks. I'm not a huge fan of canon Gwen but maybe I can write something on how Rhys sees her. I have the same problem with Owen - I really don't like him in the show very much. I like them both in most fanfic.

Oh I agree, I liked Gwen to begin with, but as TW went on, I found myself disliking her, but the Gwen I read in fics, I love. I like Owen, I think there's something quite sweet about him. But I mainly love Jack, Ianto and Rhys :P 2 Welsh boys and an American YUM. lol
