MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

having read the previous chapter only hours ago, I was so suprised to see this one here. It was written really fast and although being good, I have to say that I felt like the story was progressing a mile a minute. Read it twice just to make sure that I missed none of the action.

Thank god! finally one of 'em seems to be out of their funk! I practically started cheering when Jack figured out that he was going to be okay, but that's what it was all about wasn't it? after all the glorious angst, there is some happiness. FINALLY! XD.

There's no cliffhanger either! :) I will go and celebrate the holiday relaxed because there is no wondering of what will happen...though, I still have some homework, so it won't be thát relaxed...but you get the idea.

Again, I love how you portray Amy and Rory, they're stable, somewhat normal (Amy? normal?! well, compared to Jack or Ianto..) and a good comfort for the boys in ways that the Doctor can't really be.

Can't wait to see what happens next!! but first! enjoy the holidays and the snow and the whatnot!

Hey! I will reply properly at some point, because it's late, but I just thought I'd pop in and say that the mile-a-minute thing was a deliberate thing. I was trying to get into Jack's head, and often, I find, in traumatic situations everything just rushes along at an incomprehensible speed. So I'm glad you picked up on it :)

It will all be explained. I promise. I have the explanation part written up already and have done for several weeks, maybe even months. So it will all make sense, eventually. I hope.

Actually got round to replying properly. Wahey!

I'm glad I managed to give some kind of relaxation over the Christmas holidays, even though everyone in the fiction obviously has no idea what is going on. I know what is going on, but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you anytime soon. Mwa ha ha. I have it all planned out - but that doesn't mean that the writing will actually go by the plan. It may spiral off in some unknown direction for all these characters like to give me a hard time.

As for Rory and Amy *points to icon*. I love putting a little bit of their relationship alongside Jack and Ianto's to provide some sort of contrast. Rory and Amy started off as best friends in their childhood, and they remain friends as well as lovers. That's why they work so well. They're not normal, traditionally speaking, and they're quite screwed up. But they work as a couple in a way that Jack and Ianto still can't - but offer an example of how someday they might.

Thank you!
