Fic- A Smack and A Cuddle

[branwen_blaidd]

Title: A Smack and A Cuddle

Pairing: Jack/Ianto

Ratings: Teen

Spoilers: Nothing major

Summary: Short little piece. The title says it all really. 

Disclaimers: I own nothing

Notes: To oncomingscone. She gives me wonderful ideas all the time and is wonderful and I couldn’t have written half the things I’ve written were it not for her. Comments make me write more!

 

           

“Ianto, I need that paperwork done by the end of the day!” Jack called to Ianto as he crossed the hub.

“I’m on my way to do it right now,” said Ianto. He gave Jack a smile, then headed back upstairs to his desk in the tourist office.

“And no playing about on the internet,” Jack called after him.

Ianto sat down at his desk and began the paperwork. It was boring, tedious work, filling out little boxes. An hour passed and still he wasn’t even half way through.

He glanced at his computer. A twenty minute break wouldn’t do any harm. He’d still get his work done. He slipped his headphones on, loaded up youtube and started to browse.

 

                                   

                                                * * *

 

            Jack checked his watch. It was late afternoon. Ianto had been upstairs in the tourist office working away for three hours. He deserved a little break now. Jack headed upstairs and was confronted with the sight of Ianto, headphones on and browsing music videos on youtube.

Jack didn’t say a word, just strode across to Ianto, seized hold of his arm and yanked him up. Ianto squeaked in surprise and his headphones fell off.

“I was only…”

Jack didn’t listen. He was cross. Ianto should know better than to disobey him like that. He raised his hand and laid a very hard smack on Ianto’s bum, then sat him back down again.

Ianto whimpered and squirmed on his seat. His ears went pink. He looked up at Jack, firmly chastised. He looked unbelievably cute but Jack forced himself not to soften. He looked down at Ianto and wagged his finger firmly.

“Do your work,” he said.

Ianto nodded. “Yes, Sir.”

Jack waited until Ianto had switched off his screen and bent over his work again, before he left and returned to his office.

 

                                                * * *

Ianto sat working hard for the rest of the afternoon. When the others left, he was just finishing off. He ticked his last box, then gathered the papers up and went to Jack’s office.

Jack was writing at his desk when Ianto came in. Ianto put the papers down on his desk and squirmed.

“I finished.”

Jack looked up at him and narrowed his eyes sternly. “You would have been finished hours ago if you’d done as you were told.”

Ianto squirmed some more, his ears going pink again. “I know. I’m sorry I was bad.”

Jack, finally, softened. He held out his hand. “Now, stop being so cute,” he said.

Ianto beamed and went straight to Jack, took his hand and settled on his lap. Jack hugged him firmly.

“My bad little boy,” he whispered in Ianto’s ear.

Ianto giggled as Jack nibbled on his ear and rocked him.

“That smack hurt, you know.”

Jack kissed his cheek. “It was supposed to. Still, it got you to do that paperwork, didn’t it?”

“Yeah.” He smiled, happy in Jack’s lap. “Still hurt though.”

Jack stroked his arm. “Yeah, yeah. Cutie.”

They sat together like that for a long time, settled and taking pleasure in each other’s company.

Very cute story.

[royalladyemma.livejournal.com]

Okay, it's taken me the better part of a week, but I have now officially read everything thing you have written, from day one to now. I'm not sure there are too many other writers out there that are as prolific as you -- you're definately in a small group!!

I've also loved everything you did, with the exception of slave!Ianto -- I didn't realise I had a squick til I read the 3rd part of that one. But, that doesn't mean it wasn't really well done.

I absolutely love the loving, cuddley Jack & Ianto, where their mutual affection for one another sort of oozes off the screen and makes me happy. The personalities that you gave them on day one have only intensified with time. I admit, I even saved a few to my personal Archives!!!

Now that I'm caught up, I'm going to have you delivered to my inbox every day -- you and fresh, hot coffee -- what a way to start my days!!!!!

Thank you so much for such a huge gift of reading -- you're an amazing writer, and I greatly appreciate your efforts!!!!

[branwen-blaidd.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much for your lovely comments! I have reread this several times now!

Which fic is that you're referring to? Is it one of the BDSM ones with Ianto as a sub?

[royalladyemma.livejournal.com]

Are you referring to the squick one? It's a three-parter (I don't remember it's name) where the second part is Ianto's contract that he signed after 'Cyberwoman', and then the third part is the trip to and the aftermath of Thailand for surgery? At the very end he asks Jack if he'd prefer his slave as a hermaphrodite?

I think what upset me was just the idea that Jack could be so cold and calculating and cruel as to castrate Ianto to punish him for his rebellion in opening the Rift with Owen, Tosh & Gwen.

Otherwise your work is great -- you certainly have a way with words .... and a paddle!!!!!

[branwen-blaidd.livejournal.com]

I didn't write that! In fact, I don't think I've even read it! Sounds like it would upset me too.

But thank you. My general philosophy of Jack and Ianto is the love through their physicality. Even if Jack is spanking Ianto with a paddle (or the other way around) it's always done in a loving way. Or at least I hope so!

[royalladyemma.livejournal.com]

Then you have my sincerest apologies for saying you did!!!
I would have sworn -- I started in your archives and just did your day-by-day posts, which is how I got through everything you'd written up to the day I commented.

Regardless, keep up the good work!!!!!

[branwen-blaidd.livejournal.com]

Not to worry! You were probably reading something else at the time and got confused! Or Lj threw a tantrum!

I certainly shall keep it up! I love writing, especially for Jack and Ianto.

[royalladyemma.livejournal.com]

Then I shall certainly keep reading, because I love the way you write Jack & Ianto!

Very sweet short story. Loved the ending.

[stargazer60.livejournal.com]

Awww..adorable...

[thebuttonontop.livejournal.com]

wow, thats so cute... i adore the cuddly jack/ianto. :)

[oncomingscone.livejournal.com]

Cuddly Jack/Ianto. There can never be enough.

Thank you for the beautiful tribute. xxxxxxxxxx

[ficwriterjet.livejournal.com]

Loved it. :) The one smack for not doing his work was perfect, as was the cuddle once he'd finished. Thank you.

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

Cute; nice to see the roles reversed, too

So like a previous commenter, I also just spent a while reading, loving, and squeeing about all your Ianto/Jack spanking fics. Your writing is exactly the style that I love most and I especially love your characterizations. The way that the two men interact with each other, neither being just the Spanker or Spankee makes me so happy.

Also the fact that your stories are recent makes me very happy too, because I've just fallen into this fandom hard and hate reading and loving things from three or four years ago that the authors don't even really care about anymore.

I hope you don't mind if I friend you?

[branwen-blaidd.livejournal.com]

Hello! Welcome to the fandom!

Thank you! I've had discussions with people in the past trying to persuade me that either Jack or Ianto must be the sub/dom but I've always seen them both as able to switch. I can't see either of them closing themselves off to certain experiences! And they both need to be looked after. I do find it difficult sometimes to write subby Jack but that's dependent on my mood more than anything.

Don't worry - I love writing for this fandom so much and I love posting my stories here. Real life gets in the way sometimes but I'm not about to give this up! I'm always going to be a writer and I can't imagine not writing stories for these two.

That's fine - I've added you back!

Thanks again!
