Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Jack is such a romantic figure!
You got his sexiness and playfulness just right.

Thanks. I figure we first got Jack at his sexy/playful best so it was the easiest place to start writing him.

Oooh, that was good. Almost made me cry.

I dont' think I've ever read Jack/Algy before. and this was excellent. Poor Algy, dreaming of him all those years. It broke my heart to see Jack return to him, and AGAIN to see him leave.

Sorry I can't be anymore coherent about this, but wow, that was good. I want to cuddle both the boys now.

WHEW! You know how apprehensive I was about delving into this fandom as a writer, so that comment means a lot (and thanks for the rec as well.)

Oh, that was beautiful. I love fics that are from the POV of the more minor characters, and you gave Algy a great voice here. Lovely, sweet, and touching. Great job.
And I think anyone would have a difficult time forgetting Jack Harkness (unless there was retcon involved, I guess...)

Thank you so very much. I love writing fanfic for minor characters and somehow the whole Jack/Algy thing seemed rife with unanswered questions.

So very beautiful. Thanks.

Really quite magnificent, so well done you! I only ventured into Who-ness a couple of months ago (driven here by the insane bunny that kept muttering smutty things about Ten/Captain Jack...) and so I sympathise with the nerves. This was an unusual concept as well, and very tightly written.

You have nowt to worry about. Write more, please? Especially about Jack because I'm a fan-girl...

There's definitely more Captain Jack in my fictional future because although I'm still true-blue to my #1 Fandom (House MD), Jack does open up a whole new world of possibilities.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting.
