"Are you sure about this?" Gwen asked, leaning her elbows on the conference table.

"We need someone to go undercover in UNIT temporarily," Martha explained. "We're pretty sure that the new info sharing protocols aren't being followed."

"They know who you are already," Gwen argued. "You've got contacts and friends. Wouldn't you be a logical choice?"

"When I left UNIT for Torchwood London, quite a few saw that as a betrayal," the Londoner explained. "And anyway, all my mates are medical."

"And I'm far too memorable," Jack agreed with a grin. "Ianto's the best choice and you know it. Send an Archivist to deal with the archival problem. It's the quickest way to figure it out."

Martha reached across the table to put a hand over Gwen's. "I know you're worried about him being gone -- not surprising, given what this year has done to us all. But he'll be just fine. I'll have him home in a week."

The door swung open and all three of them looked over at Ianto. He was in a UNIT dress uniform, the red and beige cap perched perfectly over his dark hair. He was pulling on gloves and straightening out the invisible wrinkles in his uniform. He took a deep breath and pushed his hands into his pockets in a gesture of nervousness. "Well?"

Jack smacked his hands on the table, making the girls jump, and gave Martha an imploring look. "Please say we get to keep the uniform."

Ianto just rolled his eyes.

*LAUGHS* Why does that not surprise me. Jack, Jack, Jack...
Awesome! <3

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Uh, 'cause I told you about it as I was writing it? *laughs*

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Hearing about it and actually reading are two completely different things.
I feel the same whenever you do a new chapter of ST, even if we pretty much hash things out. ;)

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Fine, fine.

[thrace-adams.livejournal.com]

Oh I can totally see Jack doing that - that is brilliant :)

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is so Jack *grins*

loved that

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[cjharknessgirl.livejournal.com]

Ianto in uniform! *drifts off*

What was I saying lol? Oh yeah, loved it!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thank you!

[psykaos42.livejournal.com]

And who doesn't love a man in a uniform?

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Love one out of uniform better, me. ;)

[psykaos42.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Jack feels the same way :P

[pinkfairy727.livejournal.com]

Oh Jack, how I do love thee! :D

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Thank you!

[lirulien.livejournal.com]

A man in uniform!
Say no more!



I'll admit uniform is one of my almost-fetishes, apart from genius, glasses, accent, blue-eye, deadpan humor, sarcastic, know-it-all...*is making a list*

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* That's quite a list!

[etmuse.livejournal.com]

Ianto in uniform... I don't blame Jack one tiny little bit...

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Nope! Not one little bit.

[katestamps.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm...Jack's right, it would be a PITY to let that uniform go back to UNIT. Might need it again sometime. *grins*

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Yup! Definitely. That uniform will get a lot of use if they keep it.

[luvinthe88and20.livejournal.com]

Oh Jack, I am glad wrote scenario about Ianto in a UNIT uniform and Jack getting ideas on how to use it.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I don't know what fandom likes more: Ianto in uniform or Jack in uniform.

[luvinthe88and20.livejournal.com]

Neither Both of them naked is what fandom likes more.

[em615.livejournal.com]

Thank you for that mental image! I'd like him to keep it, too!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Ooooh yes, Ianto, keep the uni.

Thanks for reading!

[teachwriteslash.livejournal.com]

Image of Ianto in uniform . . . o h my god . . . I'm with Jack

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Me too!

[shiny-starlight.livejournal.com]

Lol! Typical Jack. Mmmm. Ianto in UNIT dress uniform should be manipped *drools*

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Oooh yes. *wish I was talented at Photoshop*

[rhianona]

of course Jack wants to keep the uniform. He's so predictable! Wouldn't be surprised if that was one of Martha's reasons for suggesting Ianto. I do like the concern they all have about Ianto going undercover.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

This is set after Journey's End, so I can see them all being hesitant to let Ianto waltz into a Lion's Den.

[rhianona]

yeah, I figured. :) But I'm sure the uniform was not a deterrent but rather, an enticement. ;)

[fake-is-love.livejournal.com]

I saw that coming with Jack and while reading I had the song with the title in it. Loved it made my day! XD

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* It was a throw-away, but it's a funny one.

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

hmm best thing...the uniform comes off!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Love a man in uniform, love a man out of one even better.
