I don't know what to say about this, except that I'm crying, and it was lovely, sweet, and sad. And I'm confident Jack will find his way back to them again!

[aeron_lanart]

*passes tissue*
I really do seem to be making a habit of making you cry but I'm not sure if I should apologise or not!

Oh Jack will find his way back, and everyone will tease Ianto about it incessantly I'm sure.

*guh*

In a totally good way! This was sweet and funny and heart achingly sad all at once hon, bravissima.

*psst* one little thing - Central Gall? ;-)

Oh and Darius and Ianto FTW. Trufax.

ETA: Went by the shrine. Still there. There was an article in the local paper about it, will scan it in soon as I get chance and post it :)

[aeron_lanart]

Gall? Oopsie. Your own typos shouldn't make you giggle should they? Hmmm. At least it had a capital letter. That's what I get for posting at that time of the morning. Will correct now, thanks for the catch.

Glad you like the fic, it seemed to be the right time to revisit this place. And as for Darius and Ianto, I have a nasty feeling they're going to start playing chess...

So glad to know the shrine is still there, I wonder if my little 'I' of black roses has died yet or not.

How sad, but also how hopeful. It is sad that Jack can't remain here with them, but I'm glad he got to say a proper goodbye to Tosh and Owen and Ianto. Perhaps it will help him recover. And I'm glad that Ianto has a very realistic view of the future. It's nice to see that level of maturity.

[aeron_lanart]

Glad you find it hopeful. I like hopeful and I think I need it as an antidote to CoE even more than I did before with Torchwood. I think all my Ianto muses are realists for some reason and as for maturity, even in your 20s you don't go through as much personal grief as Ianto did without gaining some.

[vipersweb]

*nods* I wish more writers wrote Ianto as a realist. It's how I see him, which is, I think, one of the reasons I'm not quite... satisfied? with the Jack/Ianto relationship. Don't get me wrong, I tend to ship them together, as you very well know, but there is also something inherently unsatisfying in it for me when I consider it from Ianto's POV.

[aeron_lanart]

Yeah, I sometimes get the feeling that he knows he should get out of that relationship but just can't help himself.

[truthmaker]

Ooh, all my favorite things in one place.

Went back and re-read the whole series and I must say, I love it. Great to see Tosh & Owen together as friends and maybe a bit more.

Still kind of curious as to the identity of Harry. There are a few I could think of and I'm not sure which you meant. Then again, it could be all/any of them.

[aeron_lanart]

Glad you like! As for the identity of Harry *points to icon* in the Voyager episode Deadlock the original Harry Kim got sucked out into space through a hull breach.

[truthmaker]

Oh wow.
I must have completely missed that episode. Which season was it?

[aeron_lanart]

Deadlock is in S2, there's a wiki with a bit more info if you're interested.

lovely comforting version of what may have been ... sweet, yet not cloying ...

[aeron_lanart]

Thanks! I'm not too fond of cloying so I'm glad I managed to avoid that.

[angstosaur]

it explains the gasp-free resurrection by CJH if he was at peace when he returned to the land of the living from the blissful shores of D'Nial ...
