Title: Enough
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Author: [livejournal.com profile] rm
Rating: NC-17
Summary: PWP. Mostly. And no matter what Ianto says, his brain really never seems to shut off. Ever.
Wordcount: ~1,000
Author's Note: Ooops! I originally posted this without the first two sentences.


They’re turned nearly the wrong way, sprawled across Ianto’s bed. Jack’s half-sitting, propped on an elbow, and Ianto’s sucking him off.

He’s never had a cock in his mouth before and wonders what the fuck he was thinking to not have managed the experience prior. Recent events lay the blame at Jack’s impatience: a touch and it’s just a rush to get off fast as they can and there’s never, ‘til now, been enough time for Ianto to so much as fall to his knees. At least in this particular fashion.

But before Jack, before Lisa, before this mess that is his existence entwined through them and Torchwood both, well, Ianto had a life then too. And so he thinks he really, really should have gotten around to this whole blow job thing sooner and not have had to have Torchwood to thank. There’s only so much he can stand to owe the place, after all. His life should be enough.

But sucking Jack’s cock? Nice, perfect, easy even, and it’s pretty much exactly like every fantasy he’s ever had about it, mouth open, jaw sore and the world reduced to this.


They’ve left the lights on, and it’s absurdly bright. Ianto wonders if Jack can see the remnants of thought on his face – novelty, amusement, submission and a certain nearly drugged wonder.

Jack, he knows, probably thinks it’s beautiful, or at least mildly interesting; Ianto just feels embarrassed to be under so much brightness and scrutiny. Not that that’s an emotion that’s particularly making him less hard. It’s also the sort of thing he thinks he should examine. One day. Very far from now.

Because all he wants in this moment is to be good at what he’s doing and get Jack off. He hopes the other man feels some wonder, some novelty of his own amongst the deeply ordinary landscape of Ianto’s flat.


To the extent that he can let himself consider it, which isn’t much, Ianto is charmed by Jack’s politeness or, perhaps, caution. He even has to reach for the hand Jack has lightly resting on his shoulder and push it into his hair.

Jack moans and tugs and laughs like it’s a marvel. Ianto’s gratified both by the sound of Jack pleased and the whole thing turning just ever so slightly darker. He has no choice in doing this; he is impelled. And he wants Jack to know it. Hell, he wants Jack to be thrilled by it. It is his fault after all.

Ianto could blame the pteronodon, but it’s not as rewarding.


It’s easy to tell, when Jack’s close. His breathing changes, sure. But it’s not that. It’s the way he goes from being careful of Ianto and making a little smug noise at the end of every deliberate thrust (as if getting sucked off somehow makes Jack clever - Ianto will roll his eyes at that later) to just not caring about what he sounds like, what he looks like.

Ianto knows Jack is close because he can tell Jack’s world has gotten smaller.

That’s all Ianto can do with someone like Jack: shrink the scope of what he must conquer. It’s a bit sad and a bit vicious a thought, and Ianto likes that as surely as he likes the ragged action of Jack’s hips and the instinctive clutching of the fingers in his hair. They tug without Ianto’s encouragement now, bright and sharp and needy, the needles, somehow, of Jack’s desire.

“Hey, I’m –“

Ianto does roll his eyes then. It’s not like Jack’s capable of finishing the sentence, and it’s not like Jack needs to tell him. It’s not like he doesn’t know, even if he’s never gotten Jack there just this way before.

Maybe Jack tries to push him back a little bit, Ianto’s not sure, but Jack does something that makes Ianto think it’s a good idea to choke himself on Jack’s prick instead. Which would have been a fine plan had Jack not come right then and there (and, okay, to be fair, Ianto should have been expecting that one; since he had been, a moment earlier).

He gags a little when Jack floods his mouth. All right. Not a little. A lot. He’s coughing and spluttering and still trying to swallow it all down even though his eyes are tearing and he feels like a complete idiot.

So much, he winces at his own thought, for being a quick learner. And Jack, damn him, is laughing, a sound as warm and glorious as ever, even if it’s a little rough around the edges.

Ianto smiles in spite of himself, lets Jack’s prick slip from his mouth in the process, and flops back on the bed, an arm across his eyes. He doesn’t bother to swipe at the come that’s run down his chin. He’s too tired, too vaguely embarrassed, too hard still to want to draw attention to the mess. Always messy. Not the sex; just Ianto himself.

“Sorry,” he says, almost amused but definitely dismayed.

“Fuck,” Jack says like his lungs and heart and brain are still trying to catch up with the orgasm he’s just had.

There’s a pause. Silence nearly, but for the sound of Jack’s slowing breath, and finally Ianto has to move his arm to look at him.

“You look amazing like that,” Jack says, appreciative, casual, reassembled into his preternaturally composed and charming self.

Ianto can barely stand it, and so laughs weakly and rolls his eyes because he has to do something.

“I did try to warn you,” Jack adds with a shrug and flops down beside him.

“No warning necessary,” Ianto says simply. Sure, it’s obviously not true, but that’s not Jack’s fault.

“That didn’t look like the fun version of not being able to get enough air,” Jack says conversationally.

“Do you really think I’m here for the fun?” Ianto blurts, regretting the words even as they’re still coming out of his mouth.

Jack bites his lip as he considers Ianto and then smiles, grand but not easy. Maybe even sweet, just a little, Ianto thinks.

“No,” Jack says, leaning in for kisses messy and then messier, “I suppose you’re not.”

Oh very nicely done. I know what you mean about Ianto's brain never shutting off, yes. It's nice to see the blow job from his perspective, the newness and Jack is so... Jack.

Also I think you missed a close italics tag in this paragraph somewhere as the rest of the story is in italics:

So much, he winces at his own thought, for being a quick learner. And Jack, damn him, is laughing, a sound as warm and glorious as ever, even if it’s a little rough around the edges.

(and, oh yes, I was having such technical difficulties as I posted -- wasn't feeling that good and wanted to be done with the porn to go spend time with my partner and then when I came back and checked the story an hour later I was like "crap! bad tag and I left off the first two sentences!")

I really love the power dynamics and how Ianto views them and how he just can't help be think about them and turn them over in his mind and just try to put himself a frame of the situation.
Jack is always smug and probably likes a big laugh in bed.

And yeah, I think Jack's often like that. But I don't think it really means (or doesn't mean) what people (well, Ianto anyway) tend to think it does.

From: [personal profile] exbentley
I love how you write what in anyone else's hands would be a porny come-shot, and turn it into an insightful study of Ianto (messy: different and perfect) and his relationship with Jack. Also props for realistic blowjobs; jaw sore, thinking too much, slightly awkward with the hand in the hair, embarrassed and messy and choking on come. Fantastic. I always miss your writing in the gaps between stories.

I was really happy to get this one off the harddrive and out into the world, so maybe some of the others will also happen soonish.

Not perfect, no, but not bad at all for his first time ever, I think. Clearly Jack liked it.

Hot, and I love that Ianto never stops thinking, because does anybody, really? And he always has to be good at what he’s doing.

Hey! Is this pre or post Cyberwoman?

post-Cyberwoman in my mind, but it could be either. For me, it's sort of a right before Countrycide (I maintain Ianto lies about who he last snogged in that episode) thing.

I really, really liked this. It was different to a lot of ‘smut’ I’ve read. I wouldn’t even consider this smut; it’s more of a character piece. I felt the thoughts were very ‘Ianto’; I’d picture him actually thinking this.

Again, I really enjoyed, thanks so much for posting :D

And you've reminded me, on the "list of things I'm working on" post the other day, I totally forgot the paragraph and a half of edging fic, that's also sitting on my harddrive.

Maybe I'm writing more easily again. I hope. I'd like to get more of this stuff done.

I love it when sex isn't perfect, when it's real. FAR too little of that in fanfiction, really.

It's amazing really, how you were able to take what would typically be just a smutty PWP and turn it into something that gives so much perspective on Jack and Ianto's characters.

Not to say it wasn't hot... ;)

Wow, Excellent! Ianto's inner ramblings during this (totally hot) blow job somehow make their whole relationship seem so... inevitable.

And him blurting:Do you really think I’m here for the fun? at the end... nice touch :)

Why has no one ever done this? (Oh, right, we've been waiting for you.) There's nothing like a first-time blowjob to get at all the excitement and awkwardness and physical and emotional mess of these two. I'm with Nick, having Ianto choke on cum is perfectly imperfect (as is Jack's half-smug appreciation).

And here's what really conveys the before and after, the superego that won't shut up:

Hell, he wants Jack to be thrilled by it. It is his fault after all.

“No warning necessary,” Ianto says simply. Sure, it’s obviously not true, but that’s not Jack’s fault.

Fucking brilliant. Also brilliant fucking. Thank you.

Hahahaah, thank you. When I was writing it I kept going "but that totally contradicts what Ianto said three sentences back!" but it kept happening and then I was like "Oh, he's _still_ a lying liar who lies (to himself), even when he's being all sex-addled. Got it."

Wow! It's amazing how much can go through someone's mind while they're doing that. I guess since it is an activity that restricts speech, your mind has to keep busy somehow. ;)

A whole fic about Ianto's first time sucking Jack off! I'm like, ridiculously squeeing. Wonderfully done. Ianto's line: do you really think I'm here for the fun? oops. I like his thoughts about how he should gotten around to doing this earlier, and the utterly believable play by play in his head. It's almost painfully realistic.

ext_41651: Ianto shiny with mobile (trailer pic)
From: [identity profile] fide-et-spe.livejournal.com
This was great, I liked Ianto's overthinking, and how he manages to distract himself from heeding Jack's warning, hence the choking. The embarrassment was sweet, but I loved how in character Ianto was, he would have that measure of control and self assurance, mixed with his frequent touch of mortification.

I'm not sure I get the line about not being there for the fun, I totally get it if it's set before Cyberwoman, but not so much after?? (Sorry if I'm being thick and it's really obvious)

Date: 2009-05-08 09:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rm.livejournal.com
Thanks you!

I didn't set it in any time specifically, but the fun thing -- my sense of Ianto is that he doesn't so casual. Even if it's not love or romance, I think sex is serious business to him, especially when it's a thing on a checklist and knowledge he can't stand not to have.

I'm curious as to when you see this occurring.

From: [identity profile] rm.livejournal.com
Thank you!

It's not pre-Cyberwoman to me. I sort of have long had the sense that something was going on with Jack and Ianto between then and Countrycide and Ianto lied about who he last snogged. To me, it's right around that time. Ianto finds it easy to be around Jack here, but he's not comfortable with that idea yet. So to me, this is post-Lisa within a few weeks of Jack and Ianto having hooked up, depending on when folks place that.
