Fabulous J. So proud of Jack for his amazing performance and love that Ianto announced their relationship to the audience.
Love it xxx

Now you see what everything else was leading up to!

Thank you for all your help *hugs* I did a lot of re-writing and added stuff in, as well as removing a bit to make the years work without changing them, but I think it worked quite well in the end!

[milady_dragon]

Yes! Jack finally got to be the leading lady. And of course he was fantastic at it!

I just love this so much. This might be your first AU but you're writing it like you've done this sort of story forever. Cannot wait for the next part. :)

*beams* Thank you so much! I had fun with this, maybe I'll revisit the 'verse someday.

Jack had to get the chance eventually, and he proved himself to everybody =)

Ianto never doubted he could do it!

[angelsphonebox]

Finally Jack gets his dream role! So glad to see him finally get his chance. & such a great play for him to have his debut in too! It's so nice both Jack and Ianto have such supportive parents. Looking forward to the next chapter!

There had to be a happy ending to his quest to play the female lead! He got the chance to prove he could be as good as any woman! In olden times, men played the female roles in Shakespeare's plays, so why shouldn't Jack have the chance?

I had to give them supposrtive parents, they both feel like they have two sets of parents =)

Thank you!

Yay, Jack finally got his chance! Of course he was brilliant at it, and saved the day (and the play). I'm so happy for him. And now that he and Ianto are out to their families, I'm so happy for BOTH of them. :)

Their parents are happy for them too, thankfully - I suspect Jack's mom already knew he liked dressing up in girls' clothes, but she kept quiet, respecting his privacy like an open-minded mom would.

And naturally Jack was perfect in the role, he'd rehearsed it so much with Ianto!

Thank you!

[lilyrose225]

Yay, Jack! We all knew you could do it (especially Ianto)!

Now, can we see him in a [traditional] kilt? *wink wink* Or does only Ianto get to see that?

Great job! You're right, the payoff was perfect! (and I didn't notice any mistakes~)

[badly_knitted]

YAY! (I found a mistake when I was posting it, lol!)

It was a long road, but he finally got to be the female lead, and it was a triumphant performance! Bravo, Jack! Ianto is proud!

Well, I don't know, there are two more parts... ;)

Thank you!
