*covers eyes and screen and world* You have a failed lj-cut here somewhere. LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

NO NO NO

I fixed it! I checked like five times! It's working on my computer and has been since a minute after I posted, I swear it was just a minute!

Why do I always have HTML fail when I have spoilers? (But I fixed it, I promise! Also, by spoilers, I meant "Vague references to a PTSD flashback and references to the trailers." But it's still spoilers.)

It's okay now! I probably posted my comment just after you fixed it because I'm a loooooser. Don't feel bad!

Mmmm. Comfort! catvampcrazines July 24 2009, 22:42:42 UTC

Such a lovely, soothing fic! I loved it.

Thank you again for contributing!

*happy sigh* Gorgeous imagery: Jack's voice was laden with innuendo and the wool of his great coat was cold and rough against the bare skin of Ianto's back. Ianto closed his eyes and breathed in the smell of Jack, of the Hub: old wool and cold air and metal and that old fashioned aftershave Jack insisted on wearing.

Don't we wish: Ianto tried to say that it was nothing, he was fine, he always went around the Hub in nothing but his boxers...

Exactly: His breath caught in his throat again as he remembered, remembered the pain of his last gasp escaping his body, the horror of watching Jack blow up, the indescribable agony of seeing what happened to the world after his death. It felt so real.

Thank you!

CoE needs more fix-it fics!

OH Ianto...so true...stuff like that would NEVER happen.

This was nice. Jack was lovely and comforting and I have to say it amused me to hear Jack taking CoE apart - especially the junkie aliens (that part was just bizarre, frankly).

I think this line takes the cake, though; Ianto tried to say that it was nothing, he was fine, he always went around the Hub in nothing but his boxers

I have no idea what they were on when they said, "I know! Let's have the world brought to its knees by government funded druggie aliens," but it should have been checked, somewhere along the line. Daleks look like pepperpots, but at least they make some sort of rudimentary sense. My hardest issue with CoE is that, since getting into Torchwood, I really got into the Who-universe and CoE does not jive with the universe.

I think it was interesting idea, but it just didn't fit such a big story. Junkie!aliens are the ones who are murdering humans ripper style to drink directly from the Adrenal gland/liver/whatever. Or else junkie!humans who have discovered the local alien populace and are murdering them.

It just doesn't, does it? Bad sign, especially given that it was RTD writing most of it...

Well... I liked the blowfish on cocaine in season two. He was good.

But it doesn't make sense that the government is the group supplying them with their human-drugs. If they were junkie aliens on the lam and, I don't know, the adrenal glands of prime ministers give a better high or something, I may have bought it. Or junkie aliens who want to harvest humans like cattle - so they're trying to collect a few to create a good breeding stock. That could work, too. It could be very creepy - like a Lovecraft story, but with more aliens and fewer Elder Gods.

When I remember that RTD's the one who's made a point - in the DW episodes he's written and some of the TW episodes - that regular people know about aliens in this 'verse (I remember especially Martha's comments in Smith and Jones) - CoE proceeds to make less and less sense. As he engineered all of these things - Torchwood's government connections, regular folks knowing that aliens exist, there being reciprocal relations between UNIT and Torchwood - my mind quivers.
