What she says: I’m fine.
What she means: Can we just take a moment to think about Ianto Jones lying awake at night watching Jack sleeping. Probably thinking about how he managed to get to this point with this man. Watching Jack sleep and dream, convincing himself that Jack is dreaming about leaving Earth and getting to travel the universe again. Thinking to himself that’s what is making Jack smile while he sleeps. He thinks that even if he survives Torchwood to grow old, Jack won’t be there for it. He’ll have moved on, whether its with the Doctor or someone else. He doesn’t know how he can be enough for this wonderful man who has seen so many things and loved so many people. How can a man like that be happy with an office boy from Wales? So he resigns himself to thinking he’s just something to keep Jack occupied while he’s here. Just a blip in time.
Do you think after this John will be terrified every time Sherlock says he needs to go to his mind palace?
Sherlock carelessly like “Get out, I need to go to my mind palace” and John not moving or saying anything until Sherlock looks at him and sees that he looks so pained and afraid, and Sherlock’s expression softens, and his cheeks flush, and he feels terrible, and he says in the smallest voice, “It’s not…like that.”
@highfunctioninggaybaby you like angst, right? here, have some. 😀
