I'm a total Andy fanboy. It's almost sad, except that Andy is awesome, and therefore this sort of behavior is perfectly acceptable. ;)

And yeah, emo Owen is emo. One gets the impression that he's not used to being dumped.

Edit to add: Please don't die! I would be most distressed if I killed anyone this close to S2.

Andy is well used here to show the sheer weirdness of life in Torchwood Three. And I agree you have his voice and mannerisms right - I can hear Tom Price delivering those lines.

The exchange between Owen and Ianto is sharp. Owen doesn't take being dumped very well (cf. Diane) and it shows.

But what is going on? How will Ianto live down allowing mould to grow in mugs under his care? I mean, it might be weird shit, but even so! This is anarchy in the Hub! ;)

You didn't see him looking happy about that mold, did you? And in that morning's cups? Mystery!

Are the moldy cups related to the thing taking over Andy? I like Andy better than Gwen. She's a bit whiny.

It looks like it, doesn't it?

[insert devious author grin here.]

Glad you're liking Andy. To be honest, I feel a bit guilty killing Gwen off...

Is anyone really dead in sci fi? A story's limits are set by the author. Maybe this isn't the Torchwood reality we are familiar with. I really was caught by surprise at the moldy coffee mugs...good teaser for what's to come.

Well, it is a parallel universe... That's always a good time, right?

And thanks!

Meep! Not poor Andy!

Intrigued by the mouldy cups. Has that happened before in the Who-verse, is there some connection I'm missing? ::tries to remember:: In any case, the opening paragraph was nasty and creepy as hell, glad that Jack decided to keep an eye on Andy just in case - I like Andy, I don't want him getting hurt again.

Also you realise you are being distinctly unfair in making me be torn between Jack/Ianto and Owen/Ianto? Owen can be a snappy so-and-so, but his scenes with Ianto were lovely and I do feel for him possibly starting to properly let his guard down, only for Jack to return and rewrite everything. Looking forward to seeing where it'll all go!

Yep, I'm a bastard. Janto or Iantowen: who will win?

And yeah, Andy's life is a lot more interesting now that he's working for Torchwood.

As for the mugs, I'm not aware of any canon instances of something like that happening in the Whoniverse. Doesn't mean it hasn't, but I can't think of a time where it has...

Thanks for the comment!
