Both sweet and sad at the same time. Perfect for the characters and the show. :) Keeping it down to 100 words is HARD. Great job with that.

Ugh, lowering a word count is always hard, it always feels like I'm butchering it! o.O

I adored this but it made me so sad.

Poor flower, he's under no illusion that their conversation is anything but hypothetical. It must break Jack's heart.

This is such a great look at not only Jack and Ianto, both on whom are aware of the truth even if they're choosing to ignore it, but also the reality of life with Torchwood. There's no Torchwood pension fund for a reason.
