Congrats! We should have a fandom icon dedicated to those who complete the Countrycide Rite of Passage. It gets harder all the time to do something at all fresh (which is probably why I'm not an initiate).
What I especially like here: the Tosh interaction over tea, the flashback to Fragments and the difference her trust makes this time. Sets up the wary dance between Jack and Ianto very nicely.
I sometimes wonder why almost every post-Countrycide fic includes a shower; I think the fanon reaction must be that everyone would need to get clean in more than a physical sense (and perhaps we're just prurient about Ianto's injuries, who knows?). But you handle it with a beautiful and restrained tenderness; this is h/c at its best.

As for the shower, ehm, confession time. I only wrote this fic around the scene in the shower :).
Thank you for the compliments, though, I really appreciate the comment!
