Trans!Ianto

Torchwood One

This is the start of a Headcanon which has been brought to more attention on TikTok. I personally love this headcanon and if you don't please don't leave any hate or hate anyone who does. 

I am not the best writer so I'm sorry if its bad. I haven't written in a while. 

Enjoy it <3

Ianto walked into the Torchwood building, scanning his badge as usual to gain access to the vast amount of office floors and different departments. His head down sluggishly. He was worried something may happen that day. Someone would find out.

The day before, Ianto had his first annual medical check-up and he had to tell the doctor that he was trans. That was the first time he's done that in a while because his doctor back in Cardiff already knew but this doctor was brought in with Torchwood. He was worried it would be put on his file and anyone could gain access to it and treat him differently because he was trans. He's just Ianto. And that's all he wanted to be and all he wants to keep being. He was nothing more and nothing less but other may see that differently.

He got up to his floor in the elevator heading towards his desk which was located just outside of Yvonne Hartman's office. The big boss. And he was her PA. Out of all the people in the building if anyone was to find out she would probably be the first to. Sitting down worried, he logged into his computer getting ready to get some work done. Mostly coordinating with other departments to get to locations of possible alien technology or aliens falling to earth.

10 minutes past and Yvonne hadn't come out of her office to talk to him or ask him into her office. Ianto started to become more relaxed happy that no one has found out or seen it on his file.

"Ianto" Yvonne's voice came over his phone.

"Fuck..." he muttered under his breath "Yes Ma'am?" he asked putting on his calm voice.

"You couldn't be a dear and get me a coffee? You make it the best" Her voiced seemed normal. The same London accent he strangely finds comforting to hear, but he'd never admit that.

He sighed with relief "Yes Of course Ma'am" he answered getting up and headed over to the kitchen area to start making the coffee, keeping to himself when doing it. Although he had been there for a while, he never really liked starting the conversations with people unless he had something specifically he needed to talk about with them. He spaced out while the water was boiling and going through the coffee machine.

"Ianto?" A woman said to him. "Ianto?" she placed her hand on his arm to get his attention. Ianto snapped out of his own world. "Oh, Hi Pippa, Can I help you with something?" he inquired.

"Your coffee is ready. Is there enough for two? You know how much I always love your coffee" Her voice sweet and cheery with a smile on her face when talking to him.

"Yeah, there is Pippa." He poured him one and handed it to her. "There you go"

"Thank you, you really are the best Ianto" She smiled and started to walk away whispering to a woman walking by "Isn't he just so beautiful?" The other women nodded and smiled at Ianto. Smiling back and started to walk back to his desk to get to Yvonne's office.

Knocking on the door, Ianto became slightly worried again that she might now.

"Come in!" The voice from inside the office said

Opening the door Ianto said, "Your coffee Ma'am." He carefully put it onto her desk, so it didn't go on anything or ruin any paperwork she had on her desk.

"Thanks Ianto." She smiled looking up from what she was reading. He nodded and smiled back while heading to the door.

"Wait a second Ianto. Need a word with you." She gestured to the chair in front of her desk. He closed the door and sat down, fidgeting with his hands as he waited for her to talk, worried about that its about.

"I had a conversation with the doctor about your check-up." Yvonne calmly said keeping eye contact.

His heart dropping and he swallowed slightly getting nervous. "What about it?" He sighed slightly knowing what was going to come next.

"He told me. I think you know what I'm on about." She tilted her head slightly when he tried to look away. He just nodded. "I Told him to keep out your file." She reassured him

"You did?" He looked up to her thankful that she did. "Thank you"

"He called me before writing it up so that I knew and could determine if it was in there. I don't want you to experience any discrimination here. Even though I hope you wouldn't experience any, I don't want to risk it." She smiled to him again to calm him down.

"Thank you, Ma'am. You don't know how much that means to me that you did that." He smiled back to her calming down from the built-up worry.

"Now stop worrying. Work to be done. Need you to call Tommy. There's a new alien spaceship ready for him to take apart." She ordered while looking back down at the file on her desk.

"Ma'am" He smiled and walked out her office and closed her door slowly to not make noise and sat back at his desk thinking about what just happened and smiled still, kind of happy someone knew and supported him. Then he snapped out of it and got back to working.

Time Jump: 1 Year

Ianto walked into the building as usual scanning his way in and found his way to Lisa Hallett's desk. "Can we talk?" he leaned against the wall next to her desk. "In private please" He looked to her, making sure to always keep eye contact with her.

"Yeah." Lisa said slightly worried but still had the voice Ianto fell in love with, she got up and followed him to an empty room where he closed the door quickly to make sure no one saw them. "What's wrong Yan?" She sounded more worried her

"Um there is something I need to tell you before, you know, anything happens more with us. Um..." Ianto looked to his feet at this point but felt her hand on his cheek lifting his head to look at her.

"You can tell me anything Ianto. You know that" She reassured him. He nodded and put his hand slowly onto hers taking it off his face and holding it in between them

"I'm um... God why is this hard to say." He looked down again getting annoyed with himself and worried she would leave him. Looking up quickly he says it quickly "I'm trans. There is said it. I thought you should know because you're my girlfriend and it's better if you know and I hope you won't hate me or see me differently, I'm still me. I'm still Ianto. Please don't hate me" he said quickly while getting slightly choked up

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. Calm down, I don't hate you, I won't ever hate you, okay?" She took his face into her hand again lifting it up to her and he nodded while looking straight into his eyes with a little smile on her face. "Thank you for telling me, I'm happy you are comfortable telling me. I won't see you any differently. You're still the man I fell in love with" She softly kissed his cheek and took his hands into hers "You okay to go back out? People may think we're doing stuff"

Ianto nodded and chuckled "Yeah I'm okay to go back out" he smiled to her and was happy with himself that he told her. He allowed her to leave first then followed behind.

"See you after work Ianto." She smiled to him and walked back to her desk. He smiled back and wanted to start jumping out of pour joy but managed to contain himself and walk to his desk, seeing Yvonne in the doorway of her office smiling at him like she knew what he had told Lisa. He sat down at his desk and Yvonne arched down to talk to him. "You told her?" She questioned, Ianto smiled slightly and nodded "She's supportive, I guess. I'm happy for you. Well done" She smiled and walked back into her office closing the door.
