OMG! This was so perfect!

I submitted this particular prompt and I'm just in awe of this story.

So beautiful! I loved it.

It was heartbreaking and hilarious at times. I loved the way you characterised Iona... it's Ianto, before we got to know him on the show. And Lisa and Jack! *GAH*

I'm... I'm just... *squeeee*

This was *wonderful* and heartbreaking and hopeful, which makes it very Torchwood. The characterizations rang true, and I just ached for Iona, so sure and strong.

And based on conversations I've had with FtM friends, I'd say you did a fantastic job describing how out of place Ianto felt in his own body, and how freeing and right transitioning was.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

*hug* Oh thank you! I was hoping I did a good job with the feelings of being transgendered!
