I feel like the 13th fairy to the party. I always wondered how they explain the dead guy. Love the story hated the episode.

I actually liked quite a lot about the episode, just hated everything Gwen-related... Ianto had some great scenes and lines, and I loved Rhys with the chainsaw.

As often happens with Torchwood, the dead guy just got forgotten about. He wasn't the greatest person but he didn't deserve to become lunch for a Nostrovite (thank you jedi_harkness for reminding me what the shapeshifter was called. It was driving me nuts!)

Thank you, glad you liked the drabble.

Loved the Ianto/Jack moments, loved Owen/Ianto/Jack, Tosh was great but Gwen came off as a self centered child.

You won't hear any arguments from me! badly_knitted October 17 2013, 13:03:09 UTC
I agree completely. She put her and Rhys' family's lives at risk because she wouldn't postpone for a few days, not to mention giving them false hope of getting a grandchild.

Thank you, it's not what I started out writing, it was a generic retconning fic at first, but then I thought about the reception in Something Borrowed so I changed my mind and made it about that instead.

Glad you think it works.

Thank you. The idea for this one changed quite a bit from when I thought of it to the finished drabble. I think I'm happy with it.

There are some things no one should have to remember, so all they know now is that the wedding went beautifully.

Thank you.
