Oh, I just loved this. Seeing their relationship from the outside, no idea what's going on, and then the happy ending. Very well written. You made the artist into a real person, someone I felt I'd like to know more about. I liked the descriptions of the rest of the team, too. Thanks for sharing.

Yay! Thank you! I'm always wary of writing OCs, I don't want to write Marty Sue characters, but I quite like Miss Scott =)

Happy endings are my favourite kind, and really the only kind you can cave for a fluffy bingo, lol!

Really pleased you like it, it's very different from my usual style.

[excentric397]

Different can be good. :) I really did enjoy this a lot. Thanks again for sharing.

You're welcome! I didn't know what to write for the prompt, but milady_dragon suggested an outside POV of someone who is inspired to draw the two strangers and this is what happened =)

AWWWWWW I loved this so much J!
I'd really love to see those paintings!!!!!
And our boys happy and together and immortal, what else can i ask?!!!!
Awesome and going definitely to my memories.

Awwww! Thank you!

Very different from my usual style, but definitely one of my favourites from my bingo fics. I enjoyed writing it!

The paintings would be gorgeous. Watercolours definitely. I'd love to see them myself =)

HA! OMG SHE CALLED HIM COAT GUY TO HIS FACE!!!

My family is now sure I'm crazy since I laughed so hard. Oh well.

"They’d looked real enough, but that didn’t mean anything, not in Cardiff." Favorite sentence, right there. That pretty much sums up everything about Torchwood. And parts of DW.

Great fic! Going into my memories!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

That's just what I probably would have done, spoken before I had time to think! Jack was highly amused at being Coat Guy!

Yeah, I figure Cardiff natives may not know the whole truth, but they know their city is a bit on the weird side!

I adored this even before the last scene, which was buttercream icing on this lovely cake. It was so interesting seeing the "Guys" (LOL) through Miss Scott's perspective.

I would love have one of her paintings! :)

[badly_knitted]

Oh, so would I!

Thank you! It's my first try at an outside POV, I'm amazed at how well it came out and everyone really seems to like it!

Thank you!

I'm just glad I could help! *hugs*

This is just so lovely, in case I didn't already say that. And now I have it on my Kindle. You know I have a file there with your name on it? *grins*

[badly_knitted]

Gosh! *blushes* I'm honoured! I always feel I came rather late to the party and it still astonishes me that people I consider the established, must-read authors in the fandom like my fics! Writing seems to have taken over my life =D

Thank you!

You and me both

[badly_knitted]

That's so flattering! *blushes*
