Know what I hate?
This plot:
1. Ianto is sick/hurt.
2. Jack and Owen care for him! Owen is gruff but protective, Jack is concerned and tender.
3. Tosh is mousy and Gwen is insensitive, but in about 50% of stories, you never know this because...
4. Tosh and Gwen are relegated to being [quote]"the girls"[/unquote], who invariably are dispatched to do Ianto's shopping for him.
(4a. If it's a gen story in particular, SOMETIMES you get a POV shift to "the girls" where somewhere on the astral plane, Alison Bechdel is weeping while Tosh tells Gwen to stop being insensitive about Ianto because he and Jack are IN LOVE OMG GWEN HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE IT?)
SRSLY. How many stories?
... I sort of feel like making a flow chart of dodgy TW fic cliches. Would that be bear poking? (Is making this a post public bear poking?)
