Welcome to my newest creation!

It's pretty much what the title says, really. This is just the intro to the fic, each scenario will be a different chapter.

I got to thinking whilst I was mowing the lawn, and I just kept wondering whetehr Jack had ever met Ianto before, in passing, at Torchwood London, seeing as he must've visited at some point, so could he have passed Ianto in the corridors? Who knows! I do apologise if I've messed up the timelines a bit, I'm honestly not quite sure about it myself. If anyone spots mistakes, PLEASE tell me, and I'll try to make amends and alter them!

Hopefully you'll like this, and then the partner story, which will be 'The 5 Introductions of Captain Jack Harkness', with Ianto's POV on these situations.

Please read and review, comments are love!

Disclaimer: I do not own the glories of Jack and Ianto or Torchwood, they're belongings of Russel T. Davies. I'm only borrowing!

The 5 Introductions of Ianto Jones

Lying in bed at night, Jack always found time to think about things in his life. Most of the time, it was the deep, meaningful reflection of a man on the brink of a personal revelation. Occasionally, it was simply thinking through something that had been said that day, something that had made him laugh or remember a joke. Rarely, it was about the past.

This particular piece of his history wasn't one of the many earth shaking, devastation filled memories that would usually plague him, it was simply remembering ordinary days, trying to scrutinise the details he'd overlooked at the time. It was amazing for him to think that now, after everything that he'd been through with the subject of his scrutiny, that he couldn't choose him from Adam in his memories.

Tonight, Jack was trying to remember five occasions prior to Ianto's recruitment that he had hinted at in a mysterious manner during the day. Five occasions that he could barely remember, but would prove to be partly responsible for their current relationship.

The frustration Jack found in his foggy memories only served for him to concentrate that little bit harder on remembering.
