Ooh, this is exciting. You do the best AUs. Who or what is Lois? I can hardly wait to find out. And I love Johnson, shooting her ghosts. Glad I kept that icon.

Oh, and yay for the allusion to The Unquiet Dead.

*icons you back*

I love writing Johnson, if only because if there's ever a question on how she will react to any particular stimulus, the answer is usually: "Shoot it." :D

Ah, that was wonderful. So sad.

nancybrown October 3 2010, 18:48:19 UTC

Thanks! :)

*is SO FREAKING EXCITED about Tuesday*

rexluscus October 3 2010, 18:51:58 UTC

ME TOO!

That was nifty. :) Very creepy and sad.

nancybrown October 3 2010, 21:57:42 UTC

Thanks! October always gets me in the mood for ghosts. :)

That ending was quietly devastating. Oh, Ianto. *hugs him* Brilliant as always. I love your third season.

nancybrown October 3 2010, 22:42:19 UTC

:D He is broken in interesting ways, isn't he? Thanks for reading!

Of course, this was Johnson. If she aimed for something that wasn't there, she still would have hit it dead between the eyes.

Hee.

Also, I enjoyed how you touched upon the heavily-implied abusive-past version of Ianto without being heavy-handed about it. And Rhi is wonderful always. (And now Lois has a hidden past? Does the DRAMA EVER END? Oh, right, Torchwood. Silly question.)

*grin* Thanks!

I do different backstories with different storyverses, and figured in this one, if Rhi's little brother with daddy issues showed up on the doorstep with an older boyfriend and a suspicious explanation for his broken arm, she would have Questions. :D

As for Lois, there was a brief mention at the end of the ET story about what's going on with her. There will be more on Tuesday.

Thank you for dropping in!
