Summary
: : It is inevitable, because Ianto is a mortal man. In one Universe, this is the way it happened.

Review
: The story follows the last weeks of Ianto’s life. At over 100 years old he’s at peace with dying even if he isn’t quite ready to leave Jack. That peace is shown in how he interacts with his doctors and hospice nurse. As well as how he tries to comfort Jack.

It’s unusual for a story that is written to “fix” cannon to successfully manage to completely ignore cannon. Dance Me to the End is one of those rare fics. It’s even more unusual because it is written in a mixture of the first person perspective of an OC and Ianto’s flashbacks.

It was an inspired if unusual choice as it truly puts the inevitability of Ianto’s death into perspective. Often deathfics involving Jack become suspense/thriller fics as they are sidetracked by Jack’s grief and attempts to find a last minute reprieve. This fic avoids that trap by being narrated by someone who doesn’t know that there is any possibility besides death.

Author's Summary
: Every now and then I find a fic where something happens to make Ianto immortal, so that he and Jack can stay together forever, and I always think that it’s too easy and I don’t like it. I got to thinking about what might happen instead, and this is what came to me.

Review
: The Time Traveller’s Husbandis a very sweet fic about the eventuality of Ianto’s dying. It doesn’t try to gloss over the fact that Jack will be devastated by loosing Ianto, but it finds a way for Jack to survive his grief.

No matter how many times I read this fic I’m always impressed by the Leofuller’s characterizations of Ianto and Jack. It is rare to find such spot on characterizations in a short fic particularly one that follows its characters as they grow older.

The only “problem” if it can be called such, is that this fic was written before Children of Earth and thus doesn’t address any of the personality changes that took place in the third season.
