Fic: "Close to Dancing", Torchwood - Jack Harkness/John Hart, Rated R

[filthgoblin]

Title: Close to Dancing
Author: filthgoblin 
Pairing: Jack Harkness/John Hart
Rating: R
Wordcount: 287
Warnings: There's some rough stuff. Set around the fisticuffs in KKBB with added rutting, so there's sex and violence in very close quarters. If that might upset you, probably best look away now.
Notes: Written at the request of 51stcenturyfox , who wanted something to fill the gap between Jack and John's fight and the point where the rest of the team shows up in KKBB. Thanks to silvaa and terraswrath for helpful pointers.
Summary: Being kissed by John Hart was a bit like being in a fist-fight

Being kissed by John Hart was a bit like being in a fist-fight, Jack mused, feeling the breath whoosh past his lips as his former partner's compact frame impacted against his ribcage. Rough, grasping hands gripped his shoulders and tugged his hair as their mouths met with a crunch, Jack's lips twisting into a grin. Man, he'd missed this. Suddenly his recent life felt woefully pedestrian as adrenaline mixed with testosterone in a heady cocktail, bringing the present into sharp focus as blood pulsed in time with frantic staccato breaths echoing in his ears.

Only when the first punch landed on Jack's square jaw did the fun really start. The two men fell easily into a familiar two-step, though the moves were a little rusty from lack of practice. Jack bowed to his partner as he welcomed the fist in his gut, returned full-force with a kick in the groin. It was hard to tell which man was leading, but Jack didn't care. He couldn't remember the last time he felt so vital. So alive.

Throughout their scrap it was too close to call. Though he'd flattered himself that he had the upper hand Jack was unsurprised to find himself pinioned against the bar-top, cheek pressed flat into the sticky surface; less than shocked to find himself hard as hell as a result of the tussle; and almost delirious as he realised there was a hand snaking round his waist, unfastening his trousers and tugging hard as John grunted and kicked his ankles apart. There was no preparation, no finesse, just another type of fight. A fight that, even though Jack would later consider he lost, right now felt so much like winning.

You're always helpful, even if it's just to pet my fragile ego ;)

[karaokegal.livejournal.com]

Perfect. They were so freaking hot and sexy together. I still can't believe that anyone would really believe in J/I as anything important to Jack after seeing the intensity of that scene. You caught the feeling between Jack and John exactly.

I did slip in a little dig there, but hopefully it should fly below the wank radar. I had removed myself from all TW comms until recently and have only just joined a couple of ones that exclude you-know-who. I had grown so sick and weary of the rabid, OOC and canon-ignoring shipping in some of the mainstream comms that I lost all pleasure in reading anything in the fandom, apart from a couple of fics from your good self.

Time to ease myself back in, though. Season 3 approaches...

*HUGS*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ohh yes. Huge *guh* This is clearly canon that was cut for time and BBC decency standards. I love it!

Are you posting it anywhere? May I link to this?

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I'm chuffed you liked it since you were the person who inspired me to dip a toe back into the fandom after I exiled myself to hide from some of the more rediculously OOC stories of twoo wuv *retches*

I've cross-posted to no_janto and torchwood_decaf. And you're very welcome to pimp me out wherever you see fit :p

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

:0 I am honored! *faints*

[g0shawk.livejournal.com]

Love ♥

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Whythankyew :D

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

very good

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Cheers!

[throwthebones.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! There definitely needs to be more Jack/John in this word. Loved this. Great job.

[throwthebones.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! Thank you :D

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oooh, and you make such pretty icons! Going to steal some John in a bit.

[throwthebones.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you so much! :D I have a bunch from Captain Jack Harkness coming soon.

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much. Very kind of you to stop by and say so :D

Can't leave coherent comment...brain short-circuiting from hotness overload. Gshfghl_{nfghaskjklmmmmm...}

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

*gently lifts head from keyboard*

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting :D

[suede-girl-88.livejournal.com]

Great job! Usually I'm trying not to read short fics but I couldn't stop myself 'cause it's Jack/John. I need more fics with them;) I enjoyed your little piece, once again great job.

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for taking the chance on the fic, particularly if it's not your usual style. I'm very pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment too :)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

TW needs more Jack/John or uh more John/anyone even!

And that would be better if I remembered to finish the comment...

Thanks for sharing :D

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for commenting. I'm very pleased you enjoyed it :)

[dragonlit.livejournal.com]

This is definitely my TW pairing of choice and fabulous to read. Jack is dark, dammit, not all fluffy (that is not to say that he doesn't have deep feelings) and John seems the perfect match for that.

I love the rough in this - excellent job!

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with your point on the darkness. I just get the feeling from the glee he took in the lip-mashing and the face-smashing that he missed something they shared. And it wasn't a love of interior decorating...

Thanks for reading and commenting. Much appreciated :)

[minlliw.livejournal.com]

Yum.
Loved this fic and will read it again much later...

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey. I'm very pleased you approve *grins*

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, that's what happened ;)

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Damn straight!

Thanks for reading and commenting :)

[xanium.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Ahhh that's nice. No janto curtain-buying, celibacy snuggle fluff here, no siree bob. Love it :D

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

It's about time Jack got viciously vigorously topped. Cos he so isn't being 'stretched' by Teaboy, is he? *snorts*

[xanium.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Tape measures never lie ;)

But I sometimes wonder if I would still dislike janto if it weren't already canon. But Jack/John is sorta canon, and that's just awesome.

Pretty sure I have a massive list of who I'd like to see bugger Jack...

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

I would like sight of that list, please ;)

It's not the fact that J/I is canon that bothers me so much as a) it seems obvious to me that that Jack would never settle down with Ianto as RTD apparently wants is to believe and b) the rabidly OOC fic that has all but spoiled the fandom for me. I just keep thinking back to Tiemagent!Jack in 'The Empty Child'. The man's a bastard!! A loveable rogue! He's not the kind for hearts and flowers (or cushions and curtains). That doesn't mean he doesn't feel and care very deeply. Just, well, not in the fluffy twoo wuv way suggested by some.

[/rant]

[xanium.livejournal.com]

Ahh yeah that's true. Ack yeah the Empty Child haunts me in Janto fics too. Some of those fics are just wrung dry for every inch of sugary puke and then I give up. They actually have separate comms dedicated to Janto fluff...as if they'd need a different one from TW slash?? I'm liking Torchwood_decaf though.

List:
John
Owen (iconlove btw!)
captain jack harkness
Ten ;)
Nine ;)
Rhys (now I knooow that man isn't attractive per se but I think with all the ANRGY TENSION between them it would be freakin awesome)
Master :D
...Martha? I'm getting a 'strap-on' aura from her. Oh boy I should write that.

I'm pretty sure he could top most of them too, but...then it would be boring!

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Damn you, vile woman! Unexpected plot bunnies now bound heavy-footed in the cavernous echoing space of my head! I'm not telling you which, but I'll tell you it's not Martha...

[xanium.livejournal.com]

Ahahah :D Oh good I'm glad it ain't Martha cause I'd probably only read/write that for novelty purposes...

So which one tickles your pickle then? :DD

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

You shall see when I have it ready to go...

*rubs hands with eeevil glee*

[xanium.livejournal.com]

oohoho can't wait!!
