Fic: Well Played (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, genderfuck)

[hope]

Title: Well Played
Author: Hope (angstslashhope / hope)
Fandom: Torchwood
Wordcount: ~7,700
Genre: genderfuck
Rating: NC-17
Characters(s): Jack/Ianto
Warnings: unsafe sex
Notes: For the flashfic_hub inaugural undercover challenge. And seriously, cupidsbow deserves a co-writing credit for the awesome beta she gave this.

Summary: The first time they'd played this particular game, Ianto had wondered at what it said about their maturity. But the way he and Jack play it—play each other with it—well, Ianto's sure there's no universe in which it'd be considered juvenile.

Read on the AO3.

HOLY GOD IN WHAT THE WOW.

Okay, so, I read this on DW from the TWH rec but came here to comment and hm. I got so swept up in the genius of their game, and the perfect characterization when you wrote it, that it felt like the "just how close someone can be and remain clueless when they're willing to overlook what they're not expecting" note was directed right at me, even though I DID see the 'warning' and I DID know something was up. I was shocked, and felt stupid for it.

And then, it just got more absorbing, and phrases like 'his clit' were completely natural, the whole thing so natural. If something like this has been written this well before, I haven't read it.

Clock ticked over to 2010 while I was in the middle of reading this, and I wouldn't have noticed if not for the one firework outside bringing my attention to it. Happy New Year! I'll be starting mine feeling rather revolutionized.

homg, thank you so much for this comment, you've totally made my year! *g*

I'm so glad you enjoyed the politics of genderfuck that I was trying to play around with in this. That was probably the most rewarding part (especially as writing the porn felt like pulling teeth in some places!), and yeah, having several readers commenting with "omg! it's still IANTO! and felt totally NORMAL!" makes me kind of smugly think, "yeah, I TOLD you so". Hee.

So, yay. And thank you again. I'm glad you liked it :D
