Title: Should I Stay Or Should I Go 3/?
Characters/Pairing: Jack, Ianto, Toshiko, Gwen, Owen, Doctor (10 & 11), Amy, Rory, quick mention of Rose, Donna, Martha, Sarah Jane, Jackie, Mickey; Jack/Ianto, Gwen/Rhys, Amy/Rory, possible Tosh/Owen
Word Count(this part): 3835
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood. If I did, nobody would have to write these type of fics. The BBC claims it as theirs, and He Who Does Not Know How To Treat His Characters.
Rating: G for now. It might change if the muses get darker than I plan in later chapters.
Warnings: the usual for me: slash, MPREG plus a side serving of character death (implied permanent, but not really).
Summary: Jack and Ianto delay plans with their families because something came through the Rift (no surprise there), but Ianto has an encounter that could change their history and turn the team into a shadow of itself.
Notes: This was written for the Non-Anniversary challenge at

longliveianto. The prompt was by

cjharknessgirl: #10 - Time Beetles fall through the Rift and attach themselves to Jack and Ianto because they're both immortal and have the Vortex running trough them (the choice of how Ianto became immortal is up to the author). The Beetles then show them everything that could've happened from Exit Wounds on if they had made one decision differently (this decision could be the way Ianto became immortal) and up to the moment in Thames House. And then if the author wants the Doctor could show up and rid them of the Beetles. I took a little liberty from the post - only Ianto gets the Time Beetle in this. There is one more chapter that I got back from beta, which I will post Tuesday or Wednesday.
