Rating: T
Word count: ~ 1,400

Summary: Ianto stares down at his (young, strong, calloused, unscarred) hands as he sits on the bed, Jack humming happily in the bathroom, and wonders.

A/N: Urg, this was mostly written in the middle of the night (gods damn and devour you, insomnia) but thankfully I waited until later to post. However, it may still be fairly (all right, very) incoherent. Apologies. It exists because the vast majority of immortal!Ianto fics have it as a sudden change. But…what if it wasn't? (Title from a C S Lewis quote, “The safest road to Hell is the gradual one.”)
