John/Gareth

I tend not to slash real life people, not because it doesn't appeal to me but because i like to slash characters where you can get inside the mindset of them and know what makes them tick. That is slightly harder with real life, living, people. Nevertheless, whilst i was looking for Torchwood screencaps for my Janto blog i came across a whole host of pictures of John Barrowman (Jack) and Gareth David Lloyd (Ianto) being explicitly slashy and simply had to share.

But wait, it totally gets better...

The near-kiss:

The knee-sit.

The grab.

And the snog!!


Snog[S]!!

They clearly absolutely adore each other in real life too...


Here are some quotes from whence these photos came. Apparently John/Gareth snogs are pretty common on the comicon scene. I've been to two comicons. How come i've never seen homosexual kissing at the comicons i've been to?

John refers to Gareth
John: "Oh I've so had him. More times than you'd even know"
(The Hub)

If John could go back in time...
John: "I'd go back to last friday night with Gareth. No, uh."
Gareth: "What was wrong with it?"
John: "It was so good."
(The Hub)

During a script read through;
Gareth: "Ianto Enters"
John: *happy sigh*
(The Hub)

^ Really John, really? Even i could have let that one pass without picking up on the sexual innuendo. Oh no wait.

John plays Snog, Marry, Kill;
John: And I'd have to marry Gareth. Cause i've seen him naked. Yeah.
(Comic Con 2008)

Gareth describes filming sex scenes with John;
John: My hand's groping his thigh.
Gareth: I accidentaly put my hand down your pants didn't I?
John: Yes you did. I enjoyed it.
(Comic Con 2008)

Gareth is asked what he and John text each other about;
Gareth: What possible thing could me and John Barrowman text each other pictures of? To put each other off, while we're on our trailer while the other one's on set? In various states of biological blood flow... With comments like 'You're my bitch now'. He's gonna fucking kill me... Is that alright with you? I wish I had my phone so I could show you. That's not gonna happen.
(Dragon Con 2008)

I believe this was some kind of online fan-chat thing;
Gareth: Did you have a wank?
John: Not yet. I'm waiting for the crowd to clear, then you can get on the camera with me.
Gareth: Yeah, we really should take advantage of this sky talk thing while uh...
John: We should
(Torchsong)

On Gareth being a gay icon;
John: He loves it. He absolutely knows that he's a big gay iconic figure, and believe me, Gareth is of that generation of men — he's in his late twenties — but he doesn't care whether it's a man who flirts with him or a woman. Of course, he's straight, Gareth likes women, but I flirt with him all the time. He teases me. He kisses me all the time.
(AfterElton Interview)

During a live run through of a Torchwood scene;
Gareth: It says here (refering to the script) that Jack kisses Ianto passionately..."
John: [reads script] "It does not say that!"
