Aww thank you! I'm not use to writing so much angst but I'm glad you're liking it.

Oh, brilliant! Jack's grief was heart-breaking, especially given that little bit of uncertainty over whether Ianto would really come back. Now they have each other forever, as it should be!

I can't help but wonder about Gwen, though. She might have acknowledged at this point that she's lost her chance with Jack, but how long before she starts thinking; "if Jack can make Ianto immortal, then he can do the same for me"....?

Thank you! I'm glad Jack's grief came off that way, I figured Jack would be uncertain that Ianto would return to him or not.

You would be right about Gwen and we will see her try and convince Jack to make her immortal in one of the upcoming ones.

I think it was always going to be a shock to the team that Ianto is immortal, but this was definitely the worst way to find out. How very Gwen to be more worried about getting Jack away from Ianto than that Ianto was dead, and to be upset that she'd lost her chance with Jack instead of happy that Ianto was alive.

It hadn't occurred to me until blucougar said it, but it really would be just like Gwen to think of that if Jack had done it for Ianto, he could do it for her, too.

‘At least I still have Rhys,’ Yeah, >____< keep dreaming, girl! After the love he saw between Jack and Ianto, I don't think Rhys is going to be satisfied anymore with your scraps. That man deserves way better than you!
You know, for a moment I thought Gwen was truly a human being and honestly sorry for Ianto's death but, hell, she is Gwen! I'm waiting for the moment when she'll unleash her "righteous fury" on Jack because he made Ianto like him... and not Gwen. Can't we just send her in Myfawny's right time through the Rift??? No... we can't >____< ... some poor T-Rex could have tummyache after eating that... that... piece of rotten meat!
One of the reason I hate her character so much is this: Gwen can "feel" empathy for perfect strangers but not for her team-mates. It makes me so angry!

Two more to go and Rhys makes a big decision about his relationship with Gwen.
Gwen will have something to say to Jack about making Ianto immortal and not her. I couldn't do that to some poor T-Rex, but I think you will enjoy her fate at the end.
I could never understand how Gwen was supposed to believe as caring when she never showed any of that empathy to her team-mates.

I never understood what douche gave her the title of "Heart of Torchwood" >____< Jack thinks so much with his "ding-dong" (aka penis XD) to be truly useful sometime... well, most of the time.
By the way, what do you think about Gray?

I never saw Gwen as the Heart of Torchwood, I'm still unsure just what she does in Torchwood anyways. Jack really wasn't thinking all that much when he hired Gwen, and the only times I had problems with Jack was when he caved into Gwen all the time.
My main problem with Gray was he killed Tosh, I will never forgive him for that :( after Ianto she is my next favourite character. I think they rushed his appearance and should have built him up, he was twisted and he could have made a good villian for Torchwood to battle, much better than the 456.
