Freaky, well-played, and pretty damn believable.

As I was writing this I was thinking wow, this is really crack. And then I thought--no, they'd totally do this on the show. Absolutely. I love my show. :) Thanks for reading!

OMG! That was so - so horrible but so Ianto! I could absolutely see him doing that, needing that. Brilliant job and just heartbreaking.

HA! I was scrolling down to comment and thought, hm, haven't I seen that icon today? So. HI AGAIN.

I kept thinking of Memento--without spoiling the movie, just the thought that there are some feelings that are so awful you'd do anything to erase them, even if it damages yourself. So, yes, pretty horrible for Ianto. But...hopeful at the end? Thanks for reading!

OMG! What a great story. "After a moment, the little black and white figure curled its fists against the wall, pressing his face into the concrete. Even with the static, he could tell Ianto was sobbing. Ianto stayed there for a long time, nothing moving but his heaving chest. Eventually Jack hit delete and purged the entire hour's worth of footage"
I have tears running down my face right now.
