Are you familiar with any fics where Ianto really has to work to regain Jack's trust or grovel in some way after the Cyberman incident? Many fics I've read involve Ianto getting injured and/or Jack realizing that Ianto did what he did for love - so Ianto doesn't have to seek much forgiveness.

... tendrils of steam rising from an unwanted mug of tea. Jaken had met him at the door, words pouring forth in rapid succession, immediately followed by a flood of tears and incessant groveling. Growing tired of the display at his feet, the Daiyoukai mercifully dispatched the toady with a flick of his wrist… sending the majordomo for tea. Sesshoumaru needed the quiet interval to contemplate the...
...offer the right prospect at the right price.) It could be code for his availability in the future to be Governor-General of Australia, something he’s hinted at before. Reportedly some groveling sycophant in the Australian Army also tried to present the future King of Australia with an Australian Army uniform, but the gesture was declined as being inappropriate.

The other masters kept a step behind him, their previous superiority replaced by an almost humble, awe-struck, groveling desire to please. Zevran sat up a little taller when he walked by. Envision your target, the men had said. Know your goal otherwise you are no use to us. This might not be such...
... apology. He remembers the day when the winter sunlight was pale and strained as though it was filtered through thick layers of water, as though it was not enough to cover the whole world, much less one more groveling boy.
