1 of my flist has already made Ianto a Highlander style immortal, with Amanda as his teacher no less (it works the way she tells it).
Denial Universe Fic - I'm sure Ianto would love to see Tosh and Owen again, plus as Jack keeps dying Ianto could get to see him, too. For Jack this could end up meaning that the 'something in the darkness' isn't a bad thing after all.

I think the glowy kiss of life only worked then the damage is...finished. And can only be done if the brain isn't completely dead. It's kinda like guaranteed CPR, maybe? I think if Ianto had come back he'd have just died all over again.
yep- both theories work. I do wish tptb would put a little more thought into how Jack's power works- sometimes there is the OMG I'm alive gasp, sometimes not, sometimes he's completely bodily healed before reanimating, sometimes not. But oh well. That's what fanon and fanfic are for!
I think Ianto was electrocuted back in Cyberwoman? It's been a while since I've seen it. So he was 'dead'. Heart stopped, I would guess. But with luck and treatment with ordinary medical science he could have been saved, with a set of paddles or CPR. Jack restarted his heart, basically. Such is my theory.
This time the virus would have just kept eating at him.
some of the theories people came up with are good-
1) Jack's excess power that enabled him to do that was drained by Abaddon
and/or
2)It can only be done if there was an ability to save the person- a certain amount of life left in them or an environment conducive to bringing them back, that sort of thing.
It took a long time for him to come back-if they had time to gather all the bodies, and place them somewhere. Although, I wonder if the writers did that because they didn't want everyone knowing about Jack's inability to die.
the clearing out of the building should have taken more than a day- especially since tests would have needed to be done to make sure that the rescuers could get the doors open and get in there.
I really wish RTD or tptb or SOMEONE would take 5 seconds and explain a bit about Jack's magic life force and how it works- does his body have to be healed to come back or not? Is there the gasp when he comes back or not? Does he have the glowy kiss or not? Will this ever make sense or not?
The gasps seem to have become a staple - and they got *really* hammy toward the end of last season, so I was quite pleased to see Jack being all quiet when he needed to be the other day.
Will this ever make sense or not? On balance? Not.

I am NOT HAPPY and cannot sleep.

Me either. I'd been spoiled (thanks to morons who don't know how to lj-cut) but still. donutsweeper is a grumpy gal.
I need silly or cute or fluffy fic now.

Yes, I like sailing in Egypt, why do you ask?

Most fanfic I've read and written still have Tosh and Owen, so I think you're safe on that particular river. And have lots of company. :)

Which I seem to be doing an awful lot...
Hey, I'm a Highlander fan - and a Richie fan - I'm *well* practised at swimming in Denial.
The situation does give me the potential for some major Jack/Methos angst though, but not just yet.
