I didn't!!!
Sweetly oblivious until that just appeared.

=O
Oh My!!!

I'm just slow... *blinks*

Apparently no-one else (so far) saw it coming. Or at least, didn't realize Jack would show up now. So not so slow!

Anyway, I was hoping it was a surprise. Thanks!

ah! Completely unexpected! Is this why there's a hit out on Kethan? This twist is fantastic.

What I like about this chapter is that you show how well Ianto knows Jack, even as he is Kethan; that some traits transcend time. I also like how well he knows his place on the TW-3 team and how Jack sees him, unlike the others.

as always, I find Ianto's relationships with the rest of the crew fascinating. It's nice to see him settling in okay.

Of course now I want to know what happens next! Where's the Doctor? Why was Jack piloting the TARDIS? excellently done!

If you think about it, a DOA hit doesn't make much sense if they have future-Kethan in their cells. But maybe it's not future Kethan? Hmm...

:D Thanks!

damn wrong button!!

I am very enjoying this chapter. don't really mind the cliffhanger.

demotu May 15 2008, 17:17:14 UTC

Heh, I'm glad. I try not to make every chapter a cliffhanger, but this story's just so... full of tense moments, it's hard! Glad they're not driving you nuts. Thanks!

Oh oh!!! Well I didn't!!!!

demotu May 15 2008, 17:17:37 UTC

You're not alone, apparently!

<-- is pleased her gambit worked.

faithharkness May 15 2008, 15:15:18 UTC

Oh. Shit. This could go really, really good or terribly, terribly bad. I can't wait! Thank you for updating, I've missed this!

And I didn't see that coming. At all! Bad reader! Bad!

Very nice. I just love this so much. I'm going to miss the Star's crew once Ianto goes home.

demotu May 15 2008, 17:18:31 UTC

Terribly bad? O_o

<-- now is worried she won't pull it off.

Thanks! I'm so pleased you like the crew, writing OCs is such a dangerous thing in fanfic.

faithharkness May 15 2008, 17:19:35 UTC

Sorry! I meant terribly bad in terms of pain and angst and loss and general badness for the characters' emotions. I have absolute faith in your skill as a writer! Badly written review, totally my fault.

demotu May 15 2008, 17:20:11 UTC

Lol! Oh, good. Sorry for misreading it - and yes, you're totally right. Too many Jacks for one Ianto, yes?
