The Undertaker's Gift

[lucy_locket]

Hi lovelies! ♥

So, I started reading The Undertaker's Gift by Trevor Baxendale (love Trev, he wrote my absolute favourite Doctor Who book - Prisoner of the Daleks so the love I have for him is immense. I love Something In The Water as well, probably the only one :p) in the bath earlier this evening. Got out of the bath and then couldn't put the

I love Something In The Water as well, probably the only one :p

OHHH HE WROTE THAT TOO? *forgets this stuff* EPIC. I loved that book. I want this one now plz.

Who dreams of Jack/Gwen? Jack or Gwen?

[lucy_locket]

Haha omg first person I've ever met who likes that book :p

Jack does. He dreams about her a couple of times, and the word fantasy is used (when he's awake). He also he thinks about their gun training session when he's in the firing range.

Omg I love it. :D

AHH YAY, I'm glad it was Jack. That's hot.

[lucy_locket]

Haha, I know right? Something to piss everyone off right there :p

OMG JACK/GWEN. I MUST HAS THIS BOOK. I'm practically peeing myself in anticipation. I have all the previous books but I don't really enjoy them as there is no J/G. :( But this... this is YES. SO MUCH FUCKING YES!

I shall send my mother on the crusade tomorrow! She's going to Romford to buy me S1 of QaF anyway. OH SHIPPY LOVE.

[lucy_locket]

See, the plots in the other books haven't grabbed my interest :p I'd flick through for the shippy bits and nothing else would interest me....but Trevor is total win. And he clearly ships everything, which I'm really feelin'

There's an adorable bit right at the end where Jack's holding Ianto and Gwen really close and he kisses them and awww it's lovely.

Awwww. I want me some of that!

[lucy_locket]

It's really, really sweet. I may have actually melted :p

[lefaym]

Anyway, what was the J/I interaction like? Did he seem to be only using Ianto as his second choice after Gwen (which I don't like) or did it seem that he loves both of them, and that both of them would be his first choice (which I do like).

[lucy_locket]

Hmm...I think Jack and Ianto's interaction was rather complicated. I guess it's clear that Jack cares for Ianto a lot, but he doesn't show it a lot. Like, he's kind of more affectionate with Gwen. But yeah, he clearly loves both of them. He says as much at one point I think.

Ooh, thanks for the review/sneak preview. I am a not-so-secret lover of Ianto Hurt/comfort, so I've been terribly excited about this book for quite some time. I can't wait until my book order gets here!

Count me in as someone else who really enjoyed 'Something in the Water' too! It's easily one of the more 'in character' TW books (Don't get me started on how badly OOC 'Almost Perfect' is. I honestly don't know who those people in that book were, but they weren't the Jack, Ianto, and Gwen I know and love from the show, that's for sure.) 'Something in the Water', on the other hand, felt just like an episode to me. Everyone was competent, Owen was snarky, Tosh was awesome, there was Ianto/Tosh friendship and caring, and we got whole team hurt/comfort and working together. What's not to love?

1stly, whose dream was it? cuz i really want to pretend it was ianto's and he was LOVING it, cuz he's like that (in my mind)

2ndly, um... i have no 2ndly

[lucy_locket]

Lol! I wish it were Ianto's dream :p It was Jack's.

[kel_reiley]

... i'm stil pretending it was ianto's
or that jack told him about it and ianto was all 'oh yeah? describe it to me slowly, in detail'

[lucy_locket]

Haha, and then Jack can describe how Gwen turned into a mutant and tried to murder him after they made out :p I lol'ed. A lot. These books are so lulzy.
