Great explanation, thanks.

Very interesting, nice perspective :c)

Thanks. Poor boy really does think the universe has it in for him. He gets caught out when he realizes he's *not* going to get pummeled again. :)

[thefannishwaldo]

Thanks. The challenge stymied me for the longest time. This was literally all I could think of. :)

typo

[anonymous]

retcon. one n. short for ret-roactive con-tinuity. also has connotations of con job, confidence tricks. Picks up a second n for (ret)conned or con·ning.

Gold star for you... I've seen the fandom do it at least 15 different ways. :)

this is plausible

[thefannishwaldo]

Thanks. Frighteningly enough, that was all I was going for. Sometimes I go for big epic emotional pieces... this? I just wanted to explain. :)

Great backstory for Ianto.

[thefannishwaldo]

Thanks. I'd love to see the show address this, but I'm not holding my breath.

[thefannishwaldo]

Thank you. I'm hoping the show tells us how all that came down, but I'm not holding my breath.
