and now, children, why crack is bad for you

[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: can I kill fandom yet? They're all on crack
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: what the hell is fandom on about that is cracked this time?
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Ianto starting an affair with Jack as... some means of getting back at him? And he's thinking, "oh, god, can I really sell my body for Lisa's revenge?" and then like, utterly fails to do anything evil in the relationship, just has sex with Jack a lot
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: I'm foreseeing rentboy!Ianto AUs
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: it's an old fannish standby and I'm reading a LOT about him selling his body
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: ....can I go cry in a corner now? please? I need to mourn my fandom.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: actually, can I beat everyone to the punch and write the Torchwood as an Escort service AU?
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Gwen: ...so none of you are seeing anyone?
Tosh: Well, other than clients, no.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Owen and Gwen: *snogging in the corner*
Jack: HEY. Not on company time!
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Jack as a madam amuses me too much
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and he would be. Not a pimp. A madam.
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: oh, yes, definitely. Pimp is not Jack's style at *all*
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: God, I'm imagining him constantly toting around a riding crop
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Mostly he just smacks his own hand for emphasis tho
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and scares the living daylights out of Ianto
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: I am kind of increasingly fond of Jack/Ianto and yet, fandom fucking terrifies me and I am quite certain that almost all Jack/Ianto fic will fill me with as much WTF and/or rage as most Jack/Daniel fic does.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Remember: Jack as a madam terrifying Ianto by holding his riding crop suggestively.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Er, sorry, that probably didn't help
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: Actually, it does, because it is an amusing, amusing image.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: when I say "Jack as a madam" I am totally imagining him in a dress, too.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: This is like my new favorite thing
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: I'm picturing how Rose and the Doctor slot in. They're, like, Jack's old madams from the whorehouse that put him on the map.
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: and he's actually still quite, quite fond of them.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: The Time Agency was a big, ugly brothel operation and Rose and the Doctor were more... freelance prostitutes who showed Jack he could make it on his own
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: Ahahah, that's even better.
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: Jack was a runaway.
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: and they showed him that he could live brightly, openly!
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: Jack kept going back to the Time Agency for one last john
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and Rose and the Doctor helped him be freeeeee
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: oh god
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: *dying*
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: why am I on so much crack
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: I do not know
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: apparently I am on as much as you however
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and Jack tried to scare Gwen off of joining Torchwood because she has a boyfriend who probably wouldn't understand
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: *dyiiiiiiiing*
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and then he dumped her on a lesbian assignment her first go to see if *that* would scare her off
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: normally he would have had Tosh take it, but
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: YOU HAVE TO POST THIS TO YOUR JOURNAL
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: :D
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: as a story or a random conversation?
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: random conversation, unless you WANT to write it.
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: I'll totally encourage the crack.
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: I kind of do.
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: then doooooo iiiiiiiit!
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and Jack is pissed at Ianto for not telling him he had a girlfriend because HELLO, A BUSINESS CONSIDERATION
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and Ianto is all, "You hired me to be your personal assistant and make coffee. I'm not even supposed to be taking clients!" and Jack is all, "But you're so pretty!"
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: *dead*
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: brb I have to DIE LAUGHING OMG
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: ....?
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: sorry
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: the madam!Jack
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: it just
[livejournal.com profile] jmtorres: and they speculate about where he came from and Ianto is all, "I heard rumors about his floorshow in Las Vegas."
[livejournal.com profile] niqaeli: *DEAD*

I will admit to having a certain vibe going.

[identity profile] wishfulaces.livejournal.com 2006-12-01 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I really feel that Inara would fit into this situation quite well. Somehow.

[identity profile] jmtorres.livejournal.com 2006-12-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't quite think Inara has enough, um, joy.

Um.

[identity profile] wishfulaces.livejournal.com 2006-12-01 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
But that's exactly it. If you're going to exaggerate and caricaturize the DW characters, think what you could do with Inara's gloominess.

Well, I wasn't planning on it. I was just going to shift their circumstances.
