Fic, FAITHFUL, 16/33?: The Command Performance

Story: Faithful
Author: Melinda Kitty melindakitty
Beta: the ever-diligent ophymirage
Characters: Captain Jack Harkness, Captain John Hart, Ianto Jones
Rated: Adult for slash, bisexuality, mature content, language, violence, dire provocations, and lots and lots of sex (multiple pairings/groupings)
Disclaimer: I don't own 'em, 'cause if I did there would be no doubt who Jack came back for, Gwen would stick with the man who loves her, we'd have regular doses of Unexpected!John, and everyone would cheer the f*** up.
Spoilers: AU. If you haven't seen the first two series of Torchwood, you WILL be spoilered. I like to mess with canon, especially when it pisses me off. The PROLOGUE takes place right after "Countrycide" in series 1. The rest of the story, from Chapter 1 on, takes place about three weeks after "Exit Wounds", the end of Series 2.
Summary: Torchwood OT3 ZOMG! Jack/John/Ianto. The Rift is active, the Weevils are acting weird, and Captain John Hart is back in town. Let the crack-tastic smut ensue. I think there's a happily ever after in here somewhere, but until then, enjoy the insanity.

Okay, so here's the dealio...

This wasn't supposed to take this long or be this long, but it all kind of fell out of my head in one long chapter. Ophymirage, ever the loyal and diligent beta, offered to do a beta on the second draft. But I was happy with this and figured all y'all had been so patient and so supportive that you deserved a little Jack/Rhys Jealous!Fisticuffs!Pr0n. So here it is, and I may have to eat my words yet AGAIN about Gwen, because the more I write her, the better I like her. And Rhys was just fun; who else besides John could get away with tweaking Jack's nose that hard?

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all my fantastic fen! Y'all make writing fun.

On with the show...

"If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky

"If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die...

"I gave you my love
And I was living a dream

"But living would seem in vain
If I lost you."
(Richard Himber)

(In which Jack is a steamed clam, Ianto and John are a spicy number, Rhys is a bitter spoonful, and Gwen is a complete tart.)
