Poor Ianto....

I like him. Why did I ever do this to him?

This is a Torchwood/Yu-gi-oh! crossfic written in response to KaibaGirl007's The Duel that Never Was: Seto Kaiba vs. Ianto Jones which in turn is a oneshot spinoff of her longer Dr. Who/Torchwood/Yu-gi-oh! crossfic Doctoring the Blue Eyes. She gave me a plot bunny....

KaibaGirl007's story takes place about a dozen years after the end of the original Yu-gi-oh! series - Seto is still running KaibaCorp and the KaibaLands and has started the Duel Academies - until he seriously messes up his present. Torchwood is between the second and third season, and, in fact, as the third season is only currently in production and not yet released as of the time of her and my writing, we no doubt will be somewhat off canon for it almost instantly. Sorry - but, not our fault, we can’t predict the future.... Moreover I’ve actually only seen season one, and about half of season two of Torchwood. (All right, already, I’m fixing that!) Also, keep in mind that as a citizen of Wales, she gets the British usages right - me, I’m from across the pond; I speak American, not English, so I make no promises....

And my story went off canon for her fic almost as soon as I had it written, because some of her plot twists I truly didn’t see coming. So, keep in mind, this takes place between Chapter 34 and Chapter 35 of her story. At the start Seto has been back in his corrected time line for about a week - except there are still some significant differences between it and the one he left. Also, although Jack argued that the Torchwood personnel would remember him, Seto doesn’t yet know if that’s true.

In the other future Seto was a nobody - but now he’s back to being - well, Seto Kaiba, with all that implies.

So seriously, I really do like Ianto - he reminds me of Radar O’Reilly on the old M*A*S*H television show - he’s shy and uncertain, and in the same way that Radar could always scrounge whatever was needed (even if he had to arrange five other trades to get it), Ianto really does know everything, even if it’s because it’s on the computer screen right in front of him - because he’s the only one who’s bothering to read the screen. And if he doesn’t know, he knows where to look for the answer, and won’t stop until he finds it. Like Radar, he holds the place together - so Ianto really deserves better than this from me.

But then Seto thinks he deserves a bit better from Jack.... And he likes Ianto, too.
