On the surface, Jack has all the power- he's Ianto's boss, a time traveler, older, experienced, immortal
:) It's hard to argue with immortal.
That's a fascinating dynamic, because, really, when it comes down to it, there's a lot going on beneath the surface of a relationship. I can imagine good fic coming out of the tension between power-in-the-world and power-in-the-relationship.
I don't know much about Torchwood, but I'm curious about it in a did-they-really-do-that-on-tv kind of way. :)
Apart from Remus/Sirius? Not that many, now that I think about it. Holmes/Watson. Betsy/Tacy from the Betsy Tacy books--did you ever read those? Silly, I know, but I loved those two. Hmm...I'm just not that active a shipper of anyone, am I? I also like reading fic about folks I thought might be queer in canon: Tonks and Minerva and Snape in HP, for example, or James Hathaway from the mystery show Lewis. But I'm less picky with them, since I didn't have them paired off initially. M.
