Captain's Blog: Ianto

  • Apr. 2nd, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Jack writing
The best Ianto bits from the BBC America Captain's Blog.

I will be updating as the blog updates, so keep on the look out. Links to other team members here and at end of post. If you feel like I've missed anything out, let me know and I'll add it in. My thanks to [info]theonides for the icon. 

Series 1:

Entry 1:

"Hinges on pterodactyl cage failed again, will need to be welded properly this time – i.e. not by Ianto and Owen."

"Energy surges in the lower areas of the hub remain unexplained."


Entry 2:

"Other security issues: Will need to replenish cryo-chamber, as we are running low on replacement corpses. Ianto to source some from the usual supplier."

"Energy surges in the lower areas of the hub still unexplained."


Entry 3:

"Other issues: According to Ianto, Splott is pronounced "Sploe". I think Ianto may have been lying."

"Upcoming issues: Energy surges in the lower areas of the hub still unexplained; there have been several more in the past week. Ianto volunteered to investigate, but has not discovered an explanation yet."


Entry 4:

"Staff: Ianto Jones has been covertly keeping a Cyber-conversion unit and his half-converted girlfriend locked in a basement storage area."

"Other Staff issues: Ianto Jones temporarily suspended from active duty, to return at my discretion. His love for Lisa clouded his judgment, and he made some serious mistakes - but I have to wonder if I would have done the same thing in his situation. Ianto's personal needs and emotional state have been overlooked; I should not have missed something like this. During his suspension, I will try to spend more time with him. Hopefully we can establish a closer working relationship."

"Upcoming issues: Energy surges in the lower areas of the hub no longer an issue"


Entry 5:

"Staff: Ianto Jones' first week back after his suspension four weeks ago. I have tried to put him at ease, and have briefed the team to be as sympathetic as possible. Obviously there is a level of resentment remaining, but they are trying."

"Other Staff issues: After what happened..., nobody is talking to me (except Ianto)."


Entry 6:

"Staff: Brought Ianto Jones along to get him out of the Hub, out of the city, get some relaxing time in the country with the team. May not have been the best decision I made this year."


Entry 7:

"Other Staff issues: Ianto is still suffering, but putting on a brave face. Will try talking to him over dinner, outside the Hub, see if there's anything more I can do for him."


Entry 8:

"Other Staff issues: Ianto and I stayed back to go over the case files and reorganize the safe. Internal security cameras were temporarily shut down to run diagnostic tests, so there was no monitoring of the Hub for approximately four hours - but there were no security breaches to report. Everything went very smoothly."

"Upcoming issues: Need to requisition a new stopwatch. Old one damaged while moving a desk."


Entry 9:

"Staff: Things seem to be calming down with everyone. Ianto is coping well; I'm pleased with his progress."


Entry 10:

"Security: Ianto provided new identities for all three of the new arrivals, including full backgrounds, work histories and references."


Entry 11:

"Other Staff issues: Ianto surprisingly proficient at the good cop/bad cop routine. Although obviously, he's the good cop. He's too cute to be the bad cop."


Entry 12:

"Other Staff issues: Ianto tried to stop Owen opening the Rift, and actually shot him in the shoulder. Everyone except Owen is finding this very amusing."


Entry 13:

"Other security issues: Bilis Manger still missing... Tosh and Ianto are working up some theories, places to look."


Series 2:

Entry 14:

"And I worry about Ianto. I think he took it harder than anyone when I ran off. It's going to take me a while to make things up to him. He is a decent, good man, and I'm lucky I met him."


Entry 15:

"And according to Ianto, my bad cop routine needs some work."

"Other Staff issues: I’m in trouble with Ianto for duct-taping a CB aerial to the SUV. Apparently the tape made the wing mirror “disconcertingly sticky”. Still, nothing a bit of warm, soapy water can’t fix."


Entry 16:

"Other Staff issues: Ianto and I made some progress, talked things through."


Entry 17:

"Staff: Ianto turned into a fighting, kicking, stun-gun machine, it was very exciting. I must get put in danger more often."


Entry 18:

"Other security issues: The only thing out of place was Ianto’s diary, which I found in my office. Naturally, I gave it back to him immediately after reading through it. Several interesting factual errors in there - and I thought he would know how to convert inches to centimetres. You think you know someone..."


Entry 19:

"Security: Must speak to Ianto about using names from ‘’Sex and the City’’ on fake IDs. Last week he sent me into an alien smuggling operation as ‘’Mr Big’’, without telling me. Wish I knew how he kept a straight face. I’d give him a stern talking-to, but I think he enjoys that too much."


Entry 20:

"Other Staff issues: In big trouble with Ianto for risking everything to go and get the second glove. I should have told him before I went, but he’d probably have cuffed me to the chair to stop me. And I’ve fallen for that one way too many times."


Entry 21:

"Other Staff issues: Now that we have all tried, it is clear that only Ianto knows how to operate that damn coffee maker. I suspect it contains alien technology."


Entry 22:

"I had to get my massive weapon out and take care of business. Ianto is still quietly chuckling about that now, days later."


Entry 23:

"Ianto took it [the deaths] badly, this one really got to him."

"Staff: Have convinced Ianto to take me to a normal cinema, to see an actual movie. He’s also curious to know if I still have my old circus outfit. If I can find it, I think a private show is in order."


Entry 24:

"Staff: Gwen would never have found the facility if Ianto hadn’t helped her. He was wrong to do that. But, of course, he was actually right in the end."

"After Gwen had gone home, I just held on to Ianto for a couple of hours, as tightly as I could."


Entry 25:

"Staff: Everyone came out of the explosion pretty beaten up, but no major damage. We got lucky... Because if he’d [John] killed anyone - if he had hurt Ianto - I would have slowly ripped him limb from limb."

"Other Staff issues: Although I have to say, Ianto does look good all messed up and dirty."


Entry 26:

"Other Staff issues: The one glimmer of hope in all this? I still have Ianto and Gwen."

"Ianto, I know you’re reading this over my shoulder, pretending to fix that damn shelf. So get over here and take me out somewhere."

You're welcome. I get the feeling that whilst Jack is never ashamed of sex (eg, when Gwen walks in), he's likely to be very private about those sweet emotional bits. Plus it'd make crap telly.

thanks for putting this together. Its really quite obvious when you read though it like that! Its so fun to see the progression. I love the way Jack is so matter-of-fact about "it" that he doesnt arouse to musch suspicion. Who the heck are these "blogs" for! I really enjoy them :)

I had fun doing it and it's nice to see the evolution of their relationship.

Technically, I think they're meant to be his weekly reports but he uses them as a kind of diary, which is why he's so subtle about him and Ianto in places.

Lol. Before that line, the one in Entry 14 turned me into a puddle of goo too. But that one was far more viscous.

Apr. 11th, 2008 05:28 pm (UTC)
I love these! I love the fact that Ianto is the only team member to get a mention in every entry (apart from 13, but that's understandable!)

And the development of the relationship is lovely. From Jack trying to help and comfort him in the earlier entries, we've now come full circle with Jack going to Ianto and being comforted himself.

The 'Mr Big' thing made me laugh so much :) I can just see Ianto as the 'Sex and the City' type, wonder if he's taking Jack to see the film as a date lol *ponders*

ROFLMAO! Too...funny! Ianto would have fun with that. Ok so Owen probably had Samantha on his tag...LMAO Kidding!

These are really brilliant, but I have to say you missed a Ianto mention.

In Entry 13: Bilis Manger still missing. We'll find him. Tosh and Ianto are working up some theories, places to look. We have a few leads, so he can't hide forever.

It's small, but it's still a mention of Ianto.

Thanks.

It is canon. Kinda. Some people do consider it canon, some take it with a pinch of salt and consider it online canon.
