I..uh. Yes, then. GUH!

Coherent words of praise!

Holy hells that was hot!!!!

Work on Monday (in an office) will be interesting, I'll never look at a paperclip or thimblettes (also known as a finger condom) in the same way!

wonderful

I don't think I have ever come across a fic that pulls off the office supply kink like this. Very hot and creative. The part where you had Ianto tape Jack's legs to the chair was probably my favorite but then again the ending is perfect too. I especially enjoyed how you described every sensation so vividly that I'm finding myself nibbeling on paperclip while I'm typing. You think I'm kidding.

I'll be in my bunk then, ok?

HOKAY LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW AWESOME YOU ARE.

FIRSTLY, you used the staple remover in the story (well a mention)! FULL OF WIN. I had doubts when you sai that you were using glue, but DAYUM.

SECONDLY, the whole thing about Ianto orchestrating this and all the while having these doubts about his own inventiveness and attempting to be creative in the face of Jack's experience, that is really spot on. Ianto is a creative person, I would imagine, but when confronted with a lover who has...well, years and also EXPERIENCE from sheer opportunity, I'm sure he'd be daunted.

I like the almost fumbling moves that he makes, with the paperclips and the foldback clips, because inevitably something always goes wrong in this kind of thing, and it was nice to see the realism of that.

I'll be honest: I shamelessly think that the stamper is the best bit. Mmmm. Confidential.

ILU AND THIS. YOU ARE FULL OF BRILLIANTY THINGS.

Also, LOL that it's Tosh who has introduced Owen and Gwen to PornTube.

This is so original and clever. Absolutely brilliant. My mind does boggle at the nature of your research for this. (Is Porntube real?) I'm sure that every Staples does stock those items.

[identity profile] neifile7.livejournal.com 2009-06-06 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Ianto may feel at a disadvantage when it comes to erotic novelty, but he's not the most efficient admin in Cardiff for nothing.

This is all kinds of hot and inventive. Office romance, indeed.

[identity profile] be-a-rebel.livejournal.com 2009-06-06 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...you just know this happened after 2x01. Explains why Ianto was all playful 2x02.

I love this.

This really is Ianto's administrations, isn't it? Very well done, Hope :)

Oh my. Love the rubber stamp reading "Confidential."

This part really made me laugh:

“PC?”

“Politically correct.”

Jack doesn't appear to be any more enlightened, and Ianto shakes his head, giving it up as a lost cause.


Of course Jack wouldn't know the meaning of that phrase.

Nice attention to detail.

oh yum! I have to admit to a certain amount of office supply lust on my end. Not to this extent (as of yet) but I do love browsing catalogs... This was wickedly funny and well thought out. I can totally see Ianto researching and numerating the ways he can make each item a sex toy. Really I loved all of the applications but the best parts to me were Ianto's impression of Jack stretched and straining before him *guh*
So great. And I love how willing (eager?) Ianto is to play along with Jack's bizarro kink.

AND, as I am leaving a very long comment anyway... I like your theory about Jack being a conman in the sack, trying to get everyone to up the ante as it were. But personally I think that he is too charasmatic to not be amazing in bed! Basically, I think he gives as good as he gets.

I digress. Now I'm off to mem this and check for others ^_^

[identity profile] flowright.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hot !

My favorite part was when Jack's chewing on Ianto's tie. IDK, that particular picture makes a stunning still in my mind.

And word on Jack being a sexual conman.
I'm not saying he's average in bed or that he isn't a fantastic one night stand but I tend to think not everyone learn by experience and long history doesn't necessarily mean good reusable good tricks. Sometimes good looking people like Jack relay a bit too much on being dazzling and don't live up to their pretty face during sex.
So yes Jack is good into creating the good mood for his partners to be creative.

Oh Gods...I placed the office stationery order on Friday...it'll be delivered tomorrow...I think I need to get somebody else to unpack it lest they wonder why i'm so, ahem, distracted!

Holy Moly Hottness. Awesome!

OMFG. How did you manage to make this so absurdly hot?!? The alligator clips, especially. And then the "confidential" stamp - I was laughing and fanning myself at the same time. Amazing. Wow.

[identity profile] hansbekhart.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahahah!! I don't even know if I've ever read something both so incredibly funny and incredibly hot. You're fantastic, man.

I am never going to be able to walk into a Staples without giggling again. Brilliant.

Okay really, NEVER saw this when i looked at office supplies before. Until now. Straight face, staples, no longer possible. Also, I didn't think this fic could possibly work let alone be hot. I was wrong on both counts.

[identity profile] baka-sensei.livejournal.com 2009-06-16 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Guh. I thought I had a dirty mind, but apparently the use of office supplies in this manner never even occurred to me. I think I was just as interested to find out what Ianto would do next as Jack was! Every time some new prop showed up I was like, "There's no way that'll work." And then it did. And it was fabulous. Fantastic job!

That was so worth the wait. It's luscious, and it was the perfect way to end the day. <3

Here via the rec at [livejournal.com profile] three_settings - which leads to the version you posted at Dreamwidth but I couldn't comment there as I don't have a Dreamwidth account so I poked around here to find it so I could comment, because -

I adore this. Using office supplies for sex is just such a perfect thing for Ianto to do and I cannot believe I've never seen anything like this before! Plus there's all the gorgeous images of Jack all tied up and nipple-clamped and and... just guh.

You know, reading about somebody else's fetish can be either boring or LOL. You manage to show in detail why Jack likes office supplies, and what can be done with them, and it's genuinely hot. I love Ianto's improvisation and care, too.
