randomly generated fic rec

A randomly generated fic rec is simply my way of spreading the fic-love around. While the calufrax recommendations are great, there are too many stories that go unnoticed. This is my attempt to rectify that a little. To mix things up, and to keep myself from getting into a recommendation rut, I go to the Doctor Who Random Pairing Generator, here, then choose a fanfic story to recommend that is related to one or both of the characters that come up. If I can't think of a good story to recommend based on the first pairing of characters, I click again to get a new pairing. My only rule is I will not recommend a story that has already been recommended on calufrax, since that defeats the purpose of spreading recommendations around.
Randomly generated character: Ianto Jones
Fic: Non Linear
Author: winterhill
Author's summary: A TW/DW/Dead Like Me cross-over. I am only using the DLM universe - no DLM characters appear. Ianto's job after he dies is to collect the souls of the dead, but he's surprised to learn that he's got a very particular specialization. A fluffy Janto-together-forever fic with bonus Doctor(s). Multiple character deaths with the promise of an afterlife.
Characters: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, the Doctor, and some other assorted appearances
Rating: Teen (I'd call it PG-13)
Spoilers: The author suggests you assume spoilers through S2 for TW and S4 for DW.
Length: 21,531 words
Why the rec:This is a Jack / Ianto love story told across millions of years, and it's absolutely stunning. If you're not familiar with the "Dead Like Me" universe, don't worry, the author gives you the important details right up front.
