Poor Ianto, he got more ticks and they are now connected not only to nerves but to shame and disloyalty. However, we have faith that those tricks will disappear as soon as he can be honest with Jack!

I think straightening his tie and tugging his cuffs became a habit in the end. But it's okay, because it fits his meticulousness.

Thank you!

And so it begins...

[badly_knitted]

Indeed!

(That makes me think of Babylon 5)

Thank you!

Great fic, enough said.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! Glad you liked it =)

How's the bingo going? Are you going to try for a blackout?

[m_findlow]

Oh hell no, that idea got canned very quickly after the first prompt I started bulked out to 12k plus words and still counting! It was doing my head in because I wrote myself into a massive corner and took two months to figure out a solution. Stupid muse came up with an insane solution that required time travel, alternate universes and paradox theory. My head hurts just trying to think about it and making sure it all actually works. Ending is already written but I've still got the whole middle bit to go. Three are done, so if I run out of time, I'm just going to write a replacement fic for that prompt. At least I'm making some progress! :)

LOL! The muses have minds of their own, don't they!

I only did a bingo once, figured I'd try for a line or two, then with time running out my OCD decided I had to get a blackout *headdesk* I made it, just, but I don't think I'll ever do a bingo again, it's too stressful!

Good luck with yours!

Ohh, so sad. I love it.

Thank you! It was a hard time for Ianto. Getting in to Torchwood just made his life even more complicated.
