This just feels so right for them! I love that Jack makes Ianto laugh so much he ends up having to take care of himself, I can just see that happening =)

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed this! :)

I adored this. Laughing during sex is one of my kinks (and it's so much fun!), and this may well be one of the first times I've seen the whole Welsh language thing handled to canon spec. Ianto's the age group that wasn't required to learn it. Neither he nor Gwen ever speak a lick of it. Seeing it in fanfic always grates, especially when it's coupled with use of the word "Welshman."

You made Welsh vowels sexy without resorting to overused fandom tropes. You worked in a few interesting character bits and a believable, unforced, sexy ease between the characters.

If it's okay, I'm going to friend you so I never miss anything else you write :)

Hee, thanks so much! You (and I) have the lovely folks at dw_britglish to thank for the proper use of Welsh in this fic - I'm just an ignorant Yank, here. Seeing it in fic usually grates on me, too, and this was definitely pushing my limit a bit. So glad it rings true to you!

Definitely okay to friend me - thanks so much! :) I'm just getting back into Torchwood after a time away after being butthurt over CoE, so I'm sure I'll be searching out fics, myself.

Glad you're venturing back (from an entirely unselfish perspective, of course!). But the fandom had far too many good writers disappear either because they didn't like CoE, or they didn't like how the fandom divided so radically on the subject.

I gave Miracle Day the old college try, but I'm just not buying it myself. Curious if you're watching and, if so, how you're reacting. I can rec a few comms if you're interested in staying with pre-CoE Torchwood.

Anyhow, pleased to meet you and looking forward to whatever else you come up with!

So far, I've only watched the first episode of Miracle Day. I'm still deciding whether I'll watch the rest. I was honestly surprised at how happy I got to see Captain Jack again...If I do continue to watch, it will be for people, only. Jack, of course, and I adore Mekhi Phifer from back in his days on ER. To me, though, it's not Torchwood. It's a completely different show (judging from the first episode only, mind) with a few familiar faces.

Such gorgeous fic. Wow! I adore the image Ianto laughing. Endlessly! :)

Aw, thanks so much! :)
