Jack and Ianto are fighting over POV in my Rounds of Kink fic, because apparently they *both* want to tell the story! Seriously, I've got about a page written so far, and it's written twice, because I can't decide on POV!
Jack wants to tell it because *all* the fics I've written so far (with the exception of the 'big' one, which switches POV) have been told by Ianto. In fact, in fic, I have hardly written S1/S2 era Jack from inside his head - it's nearly always been from someone else's viewpoint. So I'd kind of like to let him tell this one, as something of a first.
Except that all the J/I I've written over recent years has been in RP and thus from Jack's perspective. So it would kind of be nice to write some from Ianto's POV, now that I have a bit more of a handle on it. And because he's weirdly easy to write. Though I think some of that ease is that what he's writing about is Jack, and obviously I know a lot about Jack and have a lot to say about Jack, but I'm not sure I've really tackled Ianto talking about himself.
Tbh, though, neither of them actually talk about themselves very much. Neither of them is very introspective, they just go with the flow, which is perhaps why I find them both easy to write because that's how I write. Except that I want them to explore themselves a bit, especially because this is another post-KKBB fic, when *everything* about their relationship and their view of each other is changing, so I really want to explore that for both of them. And I think that after that time apart they've both had a chance to actually *do* some of that thinking.
...I think Jack's probably going to win this one. (He does have a very loud voice, after all!) I'll just have to try and get some of Ianto's thoughts and observations across in other ways!
