Ohhh. Awesome. I have a huge smile on my face.

I loved the dread of Jack leaving, flipped about by Ianto's stubbornness.

Great series of little scenes wrapping everything thing up nicely. Jack's leaving of TW was quite wrenching. Loved the baby bits, and rather surprised by Gwen and Ianto's insistence that Jack stayed clear of their loved ones, although I quite understand it.

This, and you, once again, were wonderful.

*grin* Thanks! Jack would have issues saying goodbye to TW, but I think he'd do it if he had reason.

Loved the baby bits, and rather surprised by Gwen and Ianto's insistence that Jack stayed clear of their loved ones, although I quite understand it.

A lot of this fic turned out to be about bargains and contracts, and they were definitely going to insist on this one after the whole "Gwen go shut the Rift down, btw, it might kill you" bit. :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Thank you for the steady supply of stories the past few weeks. I've been stressed and incredibly busy and I've been silently reading them all during my breaks. Seriously, it's been lovely.

"Ask me how many times I've held you as you died. I'm only asking you to return the favour once."

For the last thing Ianto says in this series of yours... it's perfect. It's actually a wonderful wrap-up of a lot of feelings from this collection. The story was sweet, sugary, and a wonderful treat on the very late night that I read it. Thank you again. :)

Hey, anything to help. Thanks for letting me be part of your decompression! :)

You know, I rewrote the end (um, a LOT) and did not even realize until you said something that it was his last line in the series. That worked out well.

Thanks for reading, and I hope things settle to calmer seas soon.

Yes, this came as a surprise :) and so good one! I checked this tag of random boredom /my English is nasty, sorry for that! I can read though/
Anyway, thank you thank you Nancy! I knew they'll find a solution :)
