That's really rather heartbreaking and bittersweet.

Thanks. It was definitely not the cracky goodness I originally thought it would be.

Aww so sweat. Now I want to see the other Ianto decking Jack.

Some things are best left to the imagination.

Ouch...my head hurts! Liked it, though. :D

*uploads aspirin* :D Thanks!

That was fantastic! There was a time there when you really had me wavering between 'reality swap' and 'it really has all been a lie'. It's just so easy to see your work play out when I'm reading it. It's so good. This was awesome.

Thanks so much! I loved playing with that line, because in an AU, it could have all been a lie. :D

Wow. You had me scared there for awhile. I jumped to the alternate universe theory right away, but I wasn't at all sure you weren't going to strand him there, retconned. Great job of coming up with an artifact that could explain everything so well that even Ianto was doubting himself.

Have to tell you that I'm going to be really sorry when you finish up your Trope Bingo. I've been loving all these great TW stories.

Thanks! I knew I could never do the original trope, but I could do an actual alternate universe, and of course, they'd sooner believe aliens did it. ;)

I have been having a blast with the bingo fics. I hit my bingo yesterday with the Alice/Jenny fic, but sadly I don't think I'm going to make my blackout before the deadline. *sadface*
