Janto

Janto is the slash ship between Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones from the Torchwood fandom.

Everything Changes
Jack introduces new recruit Gwen Cooper to ''Torchwood. ''This includes Ianto Jones, who he says, "Looks good in a suit." Ianto jokes about that being harassment.

Cyberwoman
During a battle with Ianto's old girlfriend Lisa, who became a Cyberman during the fall of Torchwood One, Ianto is knocked unconscious. Jack gives Ianto mouth to mouth, despite Ianto keeping her existence a secret.

They Keep Killing Suzie
After fighting Suzie Costello, Ianto mentions to Jack in a sexual context that there are "Lots of things that you can do with a stopwatch." Jack responds by mentioning that he'll send the others home early and that Ianto should meet him at his office in ten minutes.

End of Days
After Jack is revived from his fight with Abaddon, he and Ianto hug, before Jack pulls in Ianto for a kiss.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
After a long absence, Jack returns to Torchwood. While talking with the team, he mentions, "I came back for you", to Ianto. Later, Jack asks Ianto out on a date while the two are searching an office building. Ianto accepts, as long as it's not in an office.

To the Last Man
Ianto asks Jack if he would go back to his own time if he could. In response, Jack asks Ianto if he would miss him to which Ianto replies yes. Ianto later leans into Jack and they kiss passionately.

Adam
After being implanted with false memories by Adam, Ianto reveals to Jack that he thinks he killed three girls. Not believing him, Jack puts him through a lie detector. The lie detector says Ianto is telling the truth, however, Jack still refuses to believe it. Later, when asked what memories define him, Ianto responds with "You", directed at Jack. Jack then proceeds to brush back Ianto's hair and kisses him on the forehead.

Adrift
While trying to solve the mystery of Jonahs' disappearance, Gwen walks in on Jack and Ianto having sex. Jack later reveals that the two were previously engaging in "naked hide-and-seek."

Fragments
After saving Jack from a weevil attack, Ianto begins to flirt with Jack and continually compliments Jack's coat in an attempt to get Jack to offer him a job at Torchwood Three. Jack deflects his efforts at first and continues to reject Ianto's pleas for a job. Ianto then asks Jack to help him catch a Pterodactyl. After they catch the Pterodactyl together, they almost share a kiss, but Ianto stops it from happening at the last second. Jack then finally offers Ianto a job at Torchwood Three and compliments Ianto's suit.

Doctor Who: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
Once the Daleks are revealed to be the masterminds behind the moving of the Earth, Jack grabs both Ianto and Gwen, and kisses them on the head.

Children of Earth: Day One
Whilst at a hospital extracting an alien organ from a body, Ianto remarks how one of the doctors that they spoke to thought that they were a couple. Jack reponds with, "Well, we are. Does it matter?"

Later, Ianto visits his sister Rhiannon, who questions him about his sexuality and his relationship with Jack. At first, Ianto doesn't comment, but then gives in, remarking that, "It's just different. It's not men... it's just him. It's only him".

At the end of the episode, as the bomb inside Jack's stomach counts down to explosion, Jack grabs Ianto, kissing him passionately before watching him rise on the elevator and remarking, "I'll come back. I always do".

Children of Earth: Day Three
Whilst conducting research at the new makeshift Torchwood Hub that Rhys aptly names 'Hub 2', Ianto asks Jack how it felt to be blown up from the inside out. This conversation leads to Ianto proposing that he and Jack make the most of their time together by having sex then and there. Jack attempts to encourage Rhys to leave the room for this, but he remarks that he's busy with cooking beans, and the opportunity is lost.

Children of Earth: Day Four
Ianto and Jack travel to Thames House to confront the 456. The negotiation goes drastically wrong, however, and leads to the 456 releasing a poisonous gas throughout the building and trapping everyone inside. Upon realising that Ianto will die if he stays inside the building, Jack frantically begs the 456 to reconsider, shouting, "I take it all back, but not him!". It's to no avail though, as Ianto had begun to die as soon as the gas entered his system. He collapses, tearfully telling Jack that he loves him and pleading him not to forget him as he slowly loses his grip on life. As Ianto dies in Jack's arms, Jack distraughtly begs Ianto to stay with him as he breaks down in tears. Before submitting to the gas himself, he kisses Ianto one final time, and then collapses next to him.

Jack is inevitably revived, and he sits up to see Gwen with tears streaming down her face, staring down at Ianto's body. He puts his arm around her and the two sob into each other.

Children of Earth: Day Five
Wracked with grief and guilt over Ianto's death, Jack sacrifices his grandson to the 456 in order to save the children of Earth. Ianto's death ends up being the major catalyst in the disbandment of Torchwood Three.

Broken
The beginning of Ianto and Jack's affair.

Serenity
Going undercover to investigate a strange community called Serenity Plaza, Jack and Ianto go undercover as husbands. Multiple kisses are exchanged during this time. While washing a car and secretly discussing a plan, Ianto refers to Jack as his boyfriend.

Fanon
The ship has been the most popular Torchwood ship and one of the most popular Doctor Who related ships. It is also notable for being a popular canon ship. Such was the popularity of the couple that the fanbase was massively upset with Ianto's death in Children of Earth: Part Four, to the point of petitions and a shrine erected in Cardiff called "Ianto's Shrine". Much of the fanart featured is Janto related.

Occasionally, the Gwack and Janto shippers come into conflict, due to both featuring Jack as one of the pair.
