Lovely story. Much lighter and more honest than I'm used to with these two but it works somehow. Fluffy Sunday is highly underrated ;)
Oh, and thanks for the definition at the beginning - improving one's language via TW fan fiction should be patented :D

Hee, fluffy Sunday!

I am a big fan of words, but because I work in a wordy environment I am constantly aware that sometimes the right word for the job needs defining. I have learned a heap of words through fanfiction :) it's such a fun way to do it!

Yep, I sometimes read a word about 20 times before I realise I don't actually have a clue what it means exactly (can be embarrassing especially when I've used it about 10 times and half of it in the wrong context) so then I look it up and have a proper *dough* moment just to make sure I won't forget again in a hurry.
TW - "Go ahead and friend me if you like." - I've taken you up on that one :)

[misswinterhill]

No worries. I'll friend you back! I might even steal your meme.

I look up words I don't know. I've been caught too many times by using them in the wrong context to risk it. There's a heap more words in fic on my main journal :) I even have a tag for them!

[misswinterhill]

Thanks very much :) I really wanted to try and fill in that gap for myself, and the original story that I was writing against, whilst it makes me happy, doesn't necessarily fit that gap as well as I'd like. Very cute icon!

Oh, that's lovely! I like the quiet, natural progression of their relationship, especially this: “You will,” said Ianto, doing up cufflinks. “Because it is.” There's no lengthy explanation of feelings or misunderstandings or whatever, just Ianto taking their relationship to the next level with five little words.

[misswinterhill]

I like Ianto when he's certain. Because he seems to be, in a lot of the episodes. If he's not, he looks to Jack as a sort of a touchstone of how to behave/what to think. I was thinking about not including the morning after bit, but I wanted to and did, mostly for that line. Thanks for such a lovely review.

very lovely, and hey I'm thoroughly impressed, cause reading this story brought a big happy smile on my face. Once again you managed to really draw me in. I love Jack and Ianto's voices here, and their conversations, they seem so natural and real so I can believe in them, yep this is the way it happened!
And who cares about the fluffy side, I've come to love your fluff a lot, especially the onion tears scene.
thanks for sharing

Oooh, cute icon! Thanks for such a great comment - voice is something I've been working on, so it's good to hear it worked.

(Onions was the only way I thought either of them would cry. Because then it isn't real, right? ;) )

This was wonderful, thank you! You captured their voices so well I feel all warm and fluffy now. :)

[misswinterhill]

Thanks very much! I was really trying to work on voice, so I'm glad that it worked :)
