Ianto nodded firmly, but before he could pull away, Indy said, "Love you, Dad, good night," turned, and bolted away across the Plass. He'd lost himself in the crowd before Ianto had even quite processed what he'd said. That had always been the last thing they said to Indiana when they put him to bed--love you, Indy, good night.
Ianto stared in the direction he'd gone. Indy had already vanished. By the end of tonight, even Jack wouldn't remember it had happened. Ianto would have to hold on to this alone. He closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and fixed it in his mind--love you, Dad, good night.
When he was sure he had it, Ianto started walking.
It's been a long time since I cried and laughed at the same time. You made it happen here: Ianto stopped walking, and his heart and his throat got it before he did, going so tight he couldn't move or breathe.
I'm continuing on because, if I don't, I'm sure my head will explode. I hope I don't have to explain to anyone why my eyes are all red, OR why I'm smiling so much, AND/OR why my head exploded.

I cannot believe the way this story is unhinging me.
It's so good. And may lead to the most ridiculously self-absorbed introspective post from me ever. But not today. Because I have a deadline.
But this is so goddamn good.
