Yeah comparing a canon relationship to a non-canon one just doesn't hold up, but than I never thought that whole 'Ianto HAD to die to break Jack was he would do the unthinkable' argument was sound either. It's been shown in canon (Small Worlds) that Jack does wants hard, Ianto didn't have to die to prove that. Now that I know that Ianto was slated to die before the scripts were even written I'm thinking that 'breaking Jack' was just the justification they used.
