morgynleriTitle: Sleep I
Characters: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones
Summary: Is there reason to worry?
He watches him, the careful control over his expression gone, the armor stripped away. Just a man asleep, tucked under the borrowed blankets of another's bed. Nothing more and nothing less, and a ghost of a smile crosses Jack's face.
Remembered words from some earlier night echo in his mind, tainted by association with memories best forgotten, the smile vanishing like sun behind clouds.
"There are no monsters in the dark here."
Is it just the memories that give the words their dark cast, or does he have a reason to worry about the young man sleeping in his bed?
Title: Sleep II
Character: Ianto Jones
Summary: She can't tell him what happened to Jack.
"A year the rest of the universe has... forgotten."
Not all the rest of the universe, though Doctor Jones can't tell him what happened to Jack, trapped in on the Valiant. She wasn't there, not at the right time. Only at the beginning, and at the very end.
She does know what happened to him in that year. What happened to them all, the team that's broken now.
He asks, and she tells him what he did, what he became. Calls him a "little bit of a hero." And for a while, a few days, he finds he can sleep.
