He turned from the Doctor towards the Plas.  After all these decades he had finally learned the limit of a Time Lord's power.  He could inspire a monster to change (sometimes).  But he could not love a monster (not a non-Gallifreyan monster anyway).

Now Jack needed someone who knew him for what he was ("You're the worst monster here!") and understood.

("Do you still think I'm a monster?" he asked late one night after they had gone to bed.  Ianto was silent for a long time, then touched his face.

"Yes.  But I can live with it.")

Jack ran.

doesn't the saying go.. "better the devil you know, than the devil you don't" :-)

I think you've summed up Jack and Ianto's 'understanding' of each other really well!

one monster + one lover of monsters = a match made in Goth Heaven

LOVE your icon! As a recovered pentecostal ("But I'm all better now!"), I totally adore the double entendre! Carry on!
