You know, that's an excellent, excellent point. And I agree. :D I feel like there's much less repetition here than in other fandoms. Sometimes I wonder if it's just that I love them so much that I don't mind reading the same sorts of things over and over? But I really don't think that's it. I really think there IS a lot of variety and a lot of different and interesting ways that people see the characters, which makes for just... a lot of possibilities.

I'm totally envious of people who can do plot, too. XD;; I get overwhelmed by the details, I think?

AND OMG, you're totally right. It's plotty vs. moody, for sure! Is there any question as to why nearly every single thing I write is from Ianto's POV? Probably not, knowing this. XD;;;

And okay, here's my take on it. ;)

The Possibilities Are Endless, Part II

Ianto glares at Jack in the darkness.

He just won't stop rambling. The device does this, could take us here, we could do such-and-such, ad nauseum. And all Ianto wanted to do was to have a nice quiet evening. Possibly with some actual sleep thrown in.

"Do you ever shut up?" he asks Jack, wearily.

"I'm just saying, there's a big, giant UNIVERSE out there waiting for us! You should think about it, sometime!"

"I do think about it, Jack," Ianto deadpans. "I think about it, and then I think a little more, and I realize that if I don't want to end up dead, or just...something else equally horrible, I should probably, you know, just get some sleep, instead."

Jack sighs, and kicks at Ianto's ankle under the covers.

"Maybe someday?"

"Yes, fine. Maybe someday." When hell freezes over, he's thinking, because really... Jack's body is so warm next to him--he honestly can't think of any place he'd rather be than here.

He's also pretty sure Jack's had enough adventure, especially adventure involving questionable alien devices, for the both of them.

...And that was total crap, but... You can see that I like this theory a lot, yes? :D
