I'm not sure what you were worried about with this one. It's gorgeous and clever and an interesting interpretation of the prompt.

Plus, come on. Naughty fugue!Jack giving Ianto road head? That's crazy enough to work in all sorts of ways.

Alas, I'm an easily worried thing. Thank you, though! ♥ Your feedback means a lot.

You know, I hadn't seen it done before, so I just knew it had to happen ...

I love love love that you're dealing with Jack after those 2000 years. It gets brushed over so much, and there's this wealth of ideas with his memory that are so interesting!

Goes without saying (much) that Ianto having to help when he doesn't even know what's going on himself is lovely too. It always reminds me of how young Ianto is - not just compared to Jack, but generally.

"...picks up the old alarm clock from the nightstand as if it's a curiosity piece. He pokes at one of the bells and laughs when it rings, and says something to Ianto that, could Ianto understand it, certainly would be a smart-assed remark"

This part was my favourite (though perhaps it should be smart-arsed in British English?).

Thank you so much!

I sought the opinion of a friend from the UK on that one, and ultimately decided that "smart-arsed" just sounded too rhyming in the context of narrative.

Fair enough :)

Thank you very much! The feedback means a lot. :)

Oh wow, that was really good! Poor Jack - all his past "lives" for lack of a better word and Ianto just being there. Great story!

[stray_heart]

Thank you very much!

I liked to think all of the stuff he likely would've lost while buried alive wasn't gone forever, and I'm not satisfied by the canonical disregard of his trauma.

Thank you! Not that I set out to make people cry, but it's always lovely to hear that I have made an emotional impact in some fashion. :)
