This is brilliant! You've really captured Ianto's barely controlled panic, and the complete meltdown when he comes across the shell of a Dalek unexpectedly. I love that he still jokes (very Ianto) as a way of dealing with the fear, and I love Jack's concern. He doesn't mollycoddle Ianto, because Ianto doesn't need that, but he offers support, reassurance, and a steadying hand. I hate it when Ianto is written as a wimp who needs protecting; here, you've shown him as a strong, capable man facing the most terrifying thing he's ever come across for a second time, trying to stave off flash-backs to the first time because he still has a job to do and can't allow the memories to affect his ability to deal with what's happening in the here and now.

Very well done.
