oooh, shadows of things to come, with both Suzie and Ianto. lovely.

Yeah, the foreshadowing fairy clunked me over the head with this prompt!

Suzie smiled at him as they made their way to the garage, and the fist around Jack’s heart eased just a bit. She had probably just been bored after all.

Aaarrrgghhh! But I mean that as a compliment. I love the foreshadowing and Suzie's descent into insanity.

And I love that Ianto's kiss takes Jack back to his childhood. Great job.

Thanks! Jack continues to have difficulties reading the people closest to him, poor guy.

I read a fic a while ago that had Jack say something like "you remind me of who I used to be when I was young" (not con-artist Jack, but youth-Jack) and I really liked it and thought it made sense, so that inspired the kiss.

Oh wow, that is amazing. Such a brilliant prequel to the episode.

Thanks! My obsession with Suzie continues...

" Jack could read smiles. There’d be more kissing later "

Sigh... that was so sweet.

[blue_fjords]

Thanks! Yeah, I think Jack is pretty bad at picking up "I'm hiding something from you" signals, but dude can spot the "I'm in to you" smile from miles away. And kilometers away.
