UNTIL THE END

Finally!
Hip hooray, I have at last been able to view and receive, electronic copies at least of my photo ops from Torchtanic! I am so happy my photos with Gareth turned out. I was so worried because I hate having my picture taken but this time must have been an exception. Woohoo! I needed some happiness this weekend after Torchwood and now having these wonderful pics with Gareth has made me smile.
I'm so happy I had to share some of it around - double chin and all. LOL!

So what can I say that hasn’t really already been said in the way people felt when we heard the news about John? Well I’m gonna say it anyway. I was devastated so much that I couldn’t even cry. Having flown all the way from Australia to meet John you can imagine how I felt. I was in total disbelief, then I went numb and then I got a little angry before I resigned myself to the fact that there was nothing I could do. But I’m not going to dwell on the negatives but try to concentrate on the fun and good times I had. My sister, who came along with me, took it all very well but then she had her own agenda. Anyway what’s done is done and I am now home after three long weeks away and ready to write down the memories I can actually remember. Oh and my camera crapped out so I didn’t get all the pictures I’d hoped to. I managed to get a few before it went kaput and was also lucky enough to have wonderful friends who shared their memories with me too. Thanks ladies. To try and keep it clear in my own frazzled brain I am writing it down in days. The report itself turned out to be about ten pages long (eek), a little long but it could have actually been longer. Read it all, skip to the end to see my overall highlights or totally scrap the lot, it’s up to you. Enjoy!
Cheers
Sandy

Here is a manip I made a while ago and just never got around to posting. It's an initimate pose but nothing gratuitous. It's a picture that could inspire a fic but my writing muse is not on at the moment.

Title: Breathe In
Author: Sandy
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Warning: (PG-ish) Spoilers for Fragments
A/N: This is my little twist to the warehouse scene from Fragments AND my first and maybe only foray into attempting Janto fic. I have only recently been dabbling in Janto art. It’s only a short fic (771 words) that just came to mind today and I decided to put it down in words. Hope you like it, and the little pic I made to go along with it.

I made these pics about a week ago with the others I've been posting but didn't want to post them all at once. But I'm in a celebratory mood at the moment because I just bought Torchsong tickets. Woohoo!
The first is a simple Jack and Ianto wall and the second is a manip I reckon isn't too bad. Both worksafe, although the second one has some bare flesh and water. :) Enjoy!
I wanted to give them titles even if they are simple. Sometimes words change the image completely. The first is titled Meant to be...

As promised here are a couple more simple walls, one Ianto wall and the other is more of a simple header with just a few fave Janto moments, I am sure you will agree. Hope you like. More soon.

During a lovely few days with my friend I got motivated to open up my Photoshop, something I haven't done for at least six months and the last time I only managed to make one piece back then.
I have made a few simple walls - two the same becuase I couldn't decide which filter I couldn't decide which one of Jack I liked best so I posted both so we get a twofer on Jack :)- the only difference is the filter.
The walls are really very basic, no manipping involved but just a way for me to get back in the swing of things. I never like to post too many pics at the same time either do just these for now and I will post more over the next day or so. I hope you like them.
First a little Ianto, followed by Jack.

Title: It’s Not Over
Chapter: 13/13 – Let’s Start Over
Genre: AU, Jack/Ennis
Warnings/Rating: PG to NC17.
Summary: Jack and Ennis are reunited following four years apart after being forcibly separated. Can they rebuild and move on? If you’ve been reading you know of their woes but then you also know I am a sucker for happy endings. So if Bob asks, ‘Can we fix it?” You all shout, “Yes we can!”
Disclaimer: Jack and Ennis belong to Annie. Any original characters belong to me.
A/N: OMG!!! It’s finally here after what feels like forever. I think it has been at least six months since I posted the previous chapter I apologise profusely. I am on my knees begging your forgiveness. To all those that have read and commented, thank you so much for your support and ultimately your patience. Thank you also to Sienata and Lolitaray for the offering me an opening to start writing in this fandom. Sadly I don’t see myself writing in this fandom after this. Alas, I have fallen in love with someone else. Captain Jack and Ianto hold my heartstrings at the moment as you will no doubt notice from the lovely eye candy adorning my LJ at present. I only wish I had the time or talent to write in that fandom. It’s amazing how different each fandom can be in styles and themes, amazing if you ask me. Sadly too, my wonderful beta and friend wasn’t able to work on this with me which I think had a lot to do with my ability to get it out there. Jodi became such a big part of it. So I dedicate it to her. Thanks babe. And so after my biggest author’s note ever, here is the final chapter of It’s Not Over.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
Repost this if you belive homophobia is wrong.

Title: It’s Not Over
Chapter: 12/? – Mountain High
Genre: AU, Jack/Ennis
Warnings/Rating: PG to NC17.
Summary: Jack and Ennis are reunited following four years apart after being forcibly separated. Can they rebuild and move on?
Disclaimer: Jack and Ennis belong to Annie. Any original characters I claim as my own.
A/N: With Jack on track now will Ennis welcome him back with open arms? We are finally nearing the home stretch here, maybe one or two more chapters. I really wanted to try and get lots of emotion into this chapter but I didn’t really get it to where I wanted it to go. I found the song ‘Unworthy of Your Love’ from Assassins performed by a younger John Barrowman and Ruthie Henshall and I fell in love with it and that was the inspiration I was trying to draw from. Here's the link if you're interested - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnsdy7ws7
Damn LJ! Tells me it's too large once again so it wil be in two parts...Grrrr!

A/N: Not so much angst in this one. In the last chapter we saw Jack finally break and realise what he needed to do. This chapter shows one of his therapy sessions a little way ahead. J Thanks as always to Jodi for the beta and for her input into this chapter. Any remaining ‘oops’ are mine. Thanks, too, for everyone's patience. I know it's been three weeks since the last update but I got distracted. Bad Janto! But they're so good when they're bad. *giggles*

captains_gal who wanted help with a particular source pic. Unfortunately at this moment I don't have many screen caps to work with so I am limited with what I can do. However, all was not lost. I had a source pic that I thought was perfect and managed to scrounge up a couple of adequate caps. This is the result below, well results. I like to try and get creative by way of walls, sometimes they work out. The only real difference is a few extra words and an added banner. I'll let you be the judge.
