Sooooooooooooooooo good!!! I can't tell you how much I love the ending of this chapter. Ianto on his knees, head resting on Jack's lap. Such a tender moment, which progresses to super-hot!!! Totally awesome! :)

Thanks Love! I love that moment too. Ianto is so strong and stalwart most of the time, he just needs to break down completely every once in a while. At least that's what I think :P

Great update! Heart-break moment for both boys, keep it up.

BTW, your post at the jackxianto community didn't have the link to the newest chapter. ;/

Hi! Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it. I didn't really intend to put them through heart break, but that's pretty much the way the show goes... Well, maybe I pushed it up a bit ^_^

Thanks for the note, I think the link is fixed now!

At the end, I had tears in my eyes. Jack's part is sad, of course, but I always felt sorry for Ianto in this...(ok, and he is extremely HOT in this episode ^_^).

Fantastic!

Awwww! I'm sending Ianto over with a hankie!
I don't want ot make you cry, but I admit to being a little teary during a couple of read throughs. I'm glad that both Jack's and Ianto's emotions were clear. Even thought both of them are really f'ing confused for most of this episode :)
The HOT does make the Sad easier to take :D

The HOT does make the Sad easier to take

Oh yeah... ;)

I may need to change my header to say that ;}

I'm just now joining this program already in progress, as the saying goes. I couldn't leave it without sharing a few thoughts. I really like this chapter. I like how you're structuring it - lines from the show interspersed with your original bits, but particularly Ianto's internal monologue. It's very effective, and I love your insights on the relationships between the characters. Season One is so tricky, too. It's hard to get a fix on who is doing what with whom offscreen and particularly how they all feel about each other. I like what you've done here - Jack and Ianto have an established relationship, and it's been going on long enough that Jack is comfortable enough to offer the suggestion he does in the last line. However, the relationship hasn't progressed to the point that they both feel confident in where they stand with each other. Nice work.

bienvenue! Thanks for reading and for commenting. I'm so glad that you liked it!
That's really funny that you point out Ianto's internal monolouge. I don't know if you've read any my other chapters, but this one is particularly low on Ianto thoughts. I've always found him to be the easiest to write (I think I am him, so that helps). But this episode really called for Jack thoughts...
Season one *is* tricky! These characters are so well drawn, and complex. There's a lot of mystery around all of them, and therefore a lot of fodder for the fic-doms ;) But they are so consistent on the show, that you have to tread lightly to really maintain the original characters. Does that make sense?
Ok, I'll stop rambling now :)

Brilliant!

Thank you for making so much sense out of the weirdness (although it was a wonderful romantic episode). Your "Jack" thoughts made it much more clear what was going on with the other Jack (and it didn't hurt that they kinda matched what I thought was going on)

And then the ending. Seems both Ianto and I were waiting for Tosh to leave *L* I'm glad you gave us a Janto ending--definitely what the episode needed :D

With your way with heartbreaking scenes, I can't imagine what you have in store for us for the next episode--I'm shuddering in anticipation! :D

Thanks as always for sharing!

Re: Brilliant!

[dm811]

Yeah, I really think that Jack cares very deeply for Ianto, pretty much form the get go. So while he is personally comfortable with multiple relationships/partners/species, etc., I believe that he would be considerate of Ianto's feelings. BUT, he's a lover and a fighter, so it makes sense to me that he would have feelings for the real CJH. And filling in their history dosen't hurt with explaining that connection ;)

Alas, even I am not certain what shall happpen in the next chapter. I expect tears, tears and more tears, but hopfully will have some surprises in store...

Thanks for commenting, it makes me rediculously happy that have 'regulars' :D
