OMG PERSON, THIS MAKE ME LOL SO HARD. Action!Rhys! Perfect Jack and Gwen banter! Ianto has the flu! Andy's clueless dating life!

ILU. AND THEN, AND THEN:

"LAWWWWL," Jack replied.

THAT. IS. CLASSIC. Because I bought it in character in the context of this fic. I could see it. Awesome.

PS. I am to convey that Blue Fjords is in a place with no internet access until the 29th. she wanted us to tell you that she is totally stocked for your story, and she will read it as soon as she is once again in the 21st century.

Thank you for conveying this info! :)

LAWWWWL.

I went back and forth. LAWWWWL or ELL OH ELL? Went with the former.

Glad I made you LOL!:D

First! Tribbles. *clutches lifesize tribble* It shakes and squeaks when you yell at it.

Second. I had to stop my very important Boxing Day business (read: watching Rifftrax movies and eating chocolate) to find a computer and relay to you how many times I almost woke my family (still asleep at noon) as I was reading this with the SOUND OF MY EPIC LULZ. It was a lot. This was fantastic. I am in awe of your brilliance. I can't wait to find out who you are so I can revere your very name.

I leave you with this:

"Don't change the channel, sweetheart," Gwen said, half-awake. "Truth... 's out there."

I laughed so hard I frightened my mother's dog.

Tribbles are very troublesome, solstice! :D

YAY FOR LOLZ!!!!

I was so happy to hear you giggled. :D

Revering your very name here, Foxy!

'Giggle' does not begin to cover it. ;D I'm glad to see it was you who wrote it. People were guessing me They were so wrong.

Thanks, nancybrown!

Banter is fun. Wanna do screenplays. :D

Footy, X-Files marathons, and giant balls of twine! References to tribbles! Yes!

Love it.

Blue thought you wrote this and ruled me out. HA!

I was very flattered! :D

Thank you! Footy!

[blue_fjords]

I did! I had you for sure for two weeks and changed my mind like six times in the last two days. Should have just stuck w/ my first instinct. :)

Rhys is the man. And a giant twine ball. Who woulda thunk? LOL!
