eveningblueI'm trying to understand why Jack/Ianto is such a popular fandom pairing, and Jack/Doctor is not. It seems clear to me that while Jack cares about many people, including Ianto and Gwen, he is in love with the Doctor.
In "Day One," when sex-crazed Carys shoots up the Hub, all Jack cares about is the Doctor's hand, which he had been preserving in some sort of small water tank. He does not chase Carys, but stops everything, holding the hand tenderly, and then finding some other container for it.
In "End of Days," at the end of the episode Gwen says that they all had hallucinated seeing loved ones, getting them to open the rift. When Gwen asks Jack if he saw anyone, he says, "No one." When she asks if anyone could have come to him and gotten him to open the rift, he says, "A different kind of Doctor," with a faraway look in his eyes. Then the Tardis comes and carries him off.
I mean, come on, people. That's LOVE. Why is there so little fanfic??
