Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes/Warnings: Written for my hc_bingo square apocalypse (my card is here).  This is set around the Year That Never Was, so warnings for a) temporary character death and the end of the world and so on and b) me not having seen these episodes in a long time.  There could be inconsistancies.
Excerpt: Jack had tried, in the beginning, to talk about his team objectively, putting no more emphasis on Ianto than any of the others- but something had eventually slipped through. Before he knew it, he’d told Tish about all the good times, and when those were exhausted he’d told her about the bad ones. He’d told her about the things both of them had done wrong, and about the things he bitterly regretted not doing.

Tish said, “When this is over, ask him out on a date.”

Jack didn’t say, “This won’t ever be over.” That was one of the things they never said.
