Tomorrow the world may go to hell or stop spinning on its axis for all they know, but for now all that matters is the man in his arms and chasing away his demons.

That line was a heart breaker. I don't know if I've ever read anything so beautiful.

Throughout the fic, I can feel Ianto's sad acceptance of Jack and all of his issues... Just heart-rending!

Thanks so much for sharing such a gorgeous fic!

Just one little thing I found in the last line - I think it should be: ...as Jack "loses" himself "in" Ianto's lips...

So gorgeous! *wibbles*

Thank you, love! I'm glad you enjoyed it--I was so nervous about writing a non-HP fic (especially one from visual fandom) that wasn't too OOC. ^^

*hugs*

Aww.... I love this! Even your prose sounds like Jack, like his diary entries, third person!

*squeeze* Such a good job!

[noscrubs12345]

That's quite a compliment, love! *huggles* Thank you! ^_^

Thank you, love! ♥

*sniffs* It was all really good and very heartbreaking but this:

" Jack offers up the glass in a mock toast, his blue eyes shining with tears as he meets Ianto’s and, voice cracking, says, “Here’s looking at you, kid.” "

This really broke me. I could picture it so well in my mind.

*mem'd*
For your first TW this is incredible, can't wait to read more from you. We can never have too many good TW writers :)

Thank you! I do believe that's only the second time I've been memoried! ^_^
