I informally challenged myself to post a fic a week back when I managed to finish From the 82nd Summer of Love and so far it's been working! (Look at all the fics! Weee!)
Sure, they've all been uselessly short*, but I'm posting something, ok? It's partly because superstitiously I think that if I just. keep. posting. this fandom won't die and partially as a distraction from my thesis work. (Are you sick of hearing about it? I'm sick of working on it.)
But I realized that I'm not posting any Jack/Ianto. And as most of my stories (except challenges) that I've been working on have been old ideas that I'm fixing up and finishing, I checked my WIP folder. And...wow, for a shipper I have very little in the way Jack/Ianto stories. I've got a few Lisa/Ianto and some stories with Jack and Ianto ineracting, but nothing really shippy. (Unless you count my enormous and unfinished BigBang which had Ianto, for reasons explained in the fic, kick Jack out of his personal life for a bit. No, he doesn't shack up with another dude. I'm tired of that trope.)
So I wrote a completely new drabble for this week! ... And it is NOT HAPPY AT ALL. I mean, it has Jack/Ianto but apparently my fear of writing girly fluff has made it impossible for me to write them even remotely happy? O.o
It will be posted in the next few days, probably, as editing drabbles is an exercise in patience and also I've noticed that posting on a weekend is a good way to guarantee no one sees it.

*I'm sitting on a longer fic that I will give a last look-through as a reward for finishing the ginormous project-that-shall-not-be-names. Long for me is, of course, over 5,000 words. :/
(I think if I changed all of my summaries to "IANTO'S NOT DEAD IN THIS ONE" I might get more readers. Which will be hilarious when they click on my gen pieces in which Ianto fails to appear.)
