The flower of sleep brings wakening to me

Warnings: Fairies, Jack-angst, Ianto-angst (to a lesser degree), misuse of fairy tales, abuse of poetry, lots of gooey fluff hidden behind the angst.
Summary: The fairies keep watching, keep staring, and Ianto fights his instincts. The tree roots trapping his legs creak as they tighten, a sudden burst of pain flaring in what is probably a shattered ankle, and Ianto can't hold on any longer. His lips part in a sharp gasp, and petals fill his mouth like air.
