Summary: It's after the events of Children of Earth and Jack is on the run. Just how far and for how long can he go, and what is it that makes him finally turn around and face what he's running from? In this story broken by grief, Jack wanders the Earth aimlessly until someone finds him. Someone who gives him the means to go searching through the parallel worlds for his lost love.
Author's Note: This story kicks off a series of AU stories that were and are being written by a number of writers on line where we posed the question about whether Jack was willing to let Ianto go, and just how far would he be willing to go to find his soulmate in another universe. The primary question is what makes Ianto the man that Jack loves and can he find the same person he loved and bring him back to his own reality? This series was sparked by Rootesie's story called Parallel Loves where it got us thinking about how many other versions of Ianto Jack might have found on his journey? This prologue starts off the series as Rootesie, Sunwee and Anduria Trianys as well as myself continue on with different stories.
