Notes: Mention of gore.
Summary: Jack is teaching Ianto the ropes, but Ianto is mostly just dismayed.


Learning the Ropes

Being newly immortal, Ianto Jones was naturally hesitant. Luckily, he had Jack to show him the ropes. He was grateful, truly he was, but at the moment, he was mainly horrified.

“Some ways of dying should be avoided. Take decapitation,” Jack explained earnestly. “When your head is severed, you can still see and hear for a moment. Believe me, it’s very disconcerting to see one’s body lying a few feet away!”

Ianto didn’t know whether to believe, but he decided to heed the warning just on principle.

Who knew there would be so much to learn when one became immortal?

Fair enough, honestly. That's a creepy thought.

(Whereas the thought of Jack getting to spend his life with an immortal Ianto is utterly lovely.)

Thanks! He's horrified by the scene Jack was describing. Nothing horrible at all about being with Jack for eternity! ;)

Oh, the sweethearts!! I love that there are still things for him to learn.

Thanks for commenting! Yes, and I'm sure many of those things aren't as gruesome as 'don't lose your head.' LOL.
