I kept reading, please feel free to indulge yourself all you like. ;)

It was like, "well that was preachy and sentimental", but I COULDN'T STOP MYSELF.

*eyerolls*

FOR SHAME!

[amand_r]

no really. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 200-500 WORDS.

Indulgent is NEVER BAD. *glomps onto story and loves*

[amand_r]

Thanks man. I couldn't bring myself to cut it, and figured in for a penny, in for a pound.

[topgeargirl2]

That was very good

[amand_r]

Thank you very very much!

Awww, you included a super indulgent bit just for me!! D'awwwww!

Thanks, mandr, you lovely woman! I have a v. nice mental image of Ianto, tanned, just a bit gray, and wearing comfy jeans and a ratty t-shirt. This is the kind of mental image that warms the very cockles of my heart.

I loved that they were in Key Largo! I used to live in Miami when I was a kidlet and went out to the Keys once. I like the Keys! (And nice counterpoint to your last fic, of having Jack and Ianto on a boat like this.)

Some favorite bits:

Under Evan's name is a little >:P. -- perfect use of the emoticon!

'Of course,' he tells the mirror, 'Penny is our number one priority, mine and her mother's.' He blinks. 'And her other father's.' Too tacked on. 'We believe in a three prong parenting approach,' he says again. Mirror self is sceptical. 'You see,' he begins and then he stops. 'We're Mormons,' he concludes. -- hee!

Ianto had agreed as well, but secretly because he stubbornly held on to the "state school was good for me and it will be good for our

[amand_r]

Yeah. what I DIDN'T want to do was make Ianto ashamed or even awkward about the poly. Like yeah, he might not like that he might have to explain it to the teacher, or not, or what was she thinking? It would have been easier for him if Lisa had been there, or Jack. Because the poly doesn't bother Ianto, not when he can go to the Red Crab and goof off with Jack to the extent of throwing seafood. so I guess it just worked out in this complicated thing that way. Woot.

Everyone likes the emoticon! LOL

I really like the part about Ianto and the estate school and the belt myself.

Thanks BB.

I love love love this. Sooo goooooooood, fantastic!

See, I can't even write intelligent things, I just make synonyms and sound them out with long vowels and hand flapping (shut up, hand flapping is totally articulation).

[amand_r]

Thanks so much. I don't know if I'm good at writing intelligible return comments!
