In "Another Life", when Jack lets Ianto wear his Captain's hat from 'The Empty Child', and when Ianto asks him where he bought it from, Jack replies honestly, that it was from a store which closed in the 1940s.
Ianto thought he was teasing when Jack was actually just being truthful about his immortality. And trusted Ianto enough to be honest with him.
And this was before 'Cyberwoman'. With Jack mentioning how Ianto was allowed to live in the Hub with him, and how Jack probably started to develop a small crush on him.
I: "Whatever I say, you'll always want to top me."
J: "Yeah, you wish."
Jack's anger in 'Cyberwoman' wasn't because of hatred for Torchwood One, but, instead, because he trusted Ianto the most.

Alright, I'll say it: Jack Harkness and the Doctor's relationship is possibly the most fleshed out/complicated dynamic in Doctor Who and that is INCLUDING the master/doctor relationship. Seriously, think about it:
the fact that when they meet jack is presented as sleazy con man and the doctor makes him brave- makes him good
but that they are both willing to die for rose as long as she is safe
and then she comes back and dooms them both to live (even though jack has already died for her and the doctor WILL die for her)
(ninerosejack is canon and you cannot convince me otherwise)
but then the doctor sees jack as immortal as someone he COULD spend the rest of his life with
and instead of embracing it like you'd think he would because he is so wrecked by people leaving him/being left by him the doctor RUNS bc the Doctor is so scared of jack of what he means of what he is
jack ends up abandoned in dalek dust goes back in time to find the doctor suffers a hundred years alone/being tortured but STILL WAITS
(screw amy being the girl who waited or rory being the boy who waited- Jack Harkness is the boy who waited and he did it FIRST)
Jack finds out that he was abandoned. that the man that he loves HATES the sight of him. that the doctor would rather have a genocidal murderer than have him
and so Jack gets the hell out of dodge to go to a man who DOES love him
and don't get me wrong Jack loves Ianto and Jack DOES remember Ianto until he dies as the Face of Boe don't forget that (protecting Novice Hame from the virus as he couldn't Ianto
BUT AFTER EVERYTHING THE DOCTOR HAS DONE TO JACK JACK STILL LOVES THEM
Jack still considers five billion years cursed to never die to be BETTER than the alternative: dying a young time-agent-turned-con-man
Jack has more reason than any other companion save maybe Amy to hate the Doctor & yet spends 20 years in jail to rescue Thirteen still LOVES HER
AND AFTER FIVE BILLION YEARS HE ORGANIZES THAT FIRST MEETING ON SATELLITE FIVE HE ORGANIZES 9/ROSE'S FIRST DATE
jack harkness is a living ghost a reminder of the doctor's failures a physical fixed point and yet he still loves the girl who cursed him and the time lord that turned him into the kind of person that would give his dying breaths to protect the last of humanity in a dying city and tell the doctor that he is not alone
because fuck it, YANA was a warning but also a reminder a final gift
jack had been there all along, a ghost an echo a PROMISE
there is no more human character than jack harkness

ianto and jack most unhinged relationship development ever. ianto flirting with the boss while his half dead (all dead) evil girlfriend is hiding in the basement. unreal amount of hatred in the cyberwoman and then he tries to get jack killed then goes nvm and saves him. jack is like ianto we need to talk about how you tried to kill both me and yourself and how you still want to die desperately and ianto is just like actually sir i think we should just fuck instead. bro propositions his boss over the body of their twice dead coworker. and then is FLUSTERED to get asked out by the same guy. unreal.

said it once i’ll say it again torchwood as a show is genuinely so fucking funny to me bc in dr who it was such a big Thing this giant secretive organization that caused a catastrophic mess and then you cut to the show and its just a tiny team of 5 horny bisexuals who have to stop making out for long enough to save the world and i think that is beautiful. that was the only correct way they could have used jack as a character

Torchwood gets massive props from me for using the "character gets tricked into thinking they did something terrible and confesses it to their loved one" trope with the loved one instead of freaking out just going "no you fucking didn't. We're going to figure out what's actually going on here"

Heard a teen girl at church telling her friend in great detail the full timeline of the jack/ianto relationship including the audio dramas and it's good that children are continuing to respect the old ways and traditions.

or, when your boss/the love of your life comes back from the dead when you thought you'd lost him for good this time and you try to shake his hand
