Title: Switching places
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 405 - Remorse
Notes: Ianto wishes he could have switched places

Ianto tossed in bed, unable to sleep. Owen and Tosh were gone.

I should've tried harder. The thought twisted his stomach in knots.

If we'd made it to the power plant, Tosh wouldn't have been at the hub on her own, shot by Gray in cold blood.

Likewise, Owen wouldn't have been at the power plant, trying to stop the meltdown, locked in, overwhelmed by radioactive coolant.

Instead he'd turned back at the first sight of weevils, condemning them both.

If anyone was going to die it should have been him, least important of them all.

I should've tried harder.

No, Ianto, you're as important as Tosh and Owen were, Jack needs you, now more than ever! *snuggles Ianto. And Jack*
