Dear darlin' decidedly different miz Brown, haven't a clue how you conceived this delight, but boy am I tickled that you did. I love the humor of this piece and the love, not an idea beaten to death, but the realization that this is a way for them to find their way together. Always is sad when Ianto or Jack dies, but man, what a little twisty on this one! Pleasin' becos I'd no idea where you was headed and I was glad of where you went! Thank you sweetpea, it's been a gnarly 24 this last, starting with petting a dog unfamiliar to me, who startled and bit, You know, I'm a very fortunate person. I survived the foolishness of er and animal control, a nurse pract named Chance?? Oh my word-- I'm groovy!

[nancybrown]

Eek! I hope your bite turns out as well as his did. Are you feeling better?

[pearlseed]

This is the funny part--bite never hurt--don't know if it's becos there was blood and my mind sorta said I'm outta here, but there was only a tiny sting and then like today, sorta bruised, but no pain even poking on it. Having other critters who have trained me, I know you just wash it lots, antibiotic creme (mixed with a little Vick's takes the soreness out) and try not to do it again. All the cats had to come inspect my chin, now that was funny. Golden Seal tomorrow--I learned healing by third intention, from the inside out, no stitches yea! Thanks for asking.

I can certainly live with Ianto as an immortal vampire - and it looks like that's something Jack can easily adjust to even if he feels a bit guilty for being happy about it.

Nicely done, though I'm sad about the guinea pigs Owen experimented on.

[nancybrown]

Poor Mr. Buttons. He gave his life so that Gwen and Ianto could perform bad vampire comedy skits for the next thousand years.

Glad you liked it!

On the other hand, the idea of vampire guinea pigs is oddly amusing... Do they have tiny little fangs, I wonder...

[nancybrown]

They have tiny little capes, and wee little widows' peaks in their fur. They're adorable as hell.

Fluffy humor deathfic: AWESOME. I foresee multiple retreadings in my near future.

I'm too wowed to say anything more intelligent than that.

Fluffy humor deathfic: it's this year's pink.

:D

Thanks for dropping by!

Oh, girl...you are EVIL!!! And I love it!!! This was so funny and so poignant at the same time. I just about fell off my chair when they were taking bets on Rhy's reaction. :D

[nancybrown]

Hee! Because Rhys? Is a little predictable when it comes to Torchwood screwing up his love life yet again.

Oh dear, poor Mr Buttons! I want to know how the holy water works.

I laughed out loud at this, it's hilarious. I'm a bit grossed out by blood cocoa but it's better than actual blood in a mug.

I thought it was really clever of you to sneak in a hint that Ianto was jealous of Gwen and worried about her not aging and being around for Jack, he doesn't need to worry now.

Oh dear, poor Mr Buttons! I want to know how the holy water works.

So does Tosh. She is livid, comparing between regular water and holy water and trying to figure out which property has changed, dammit.

Blood cocoa does sound kind of gross, but better than Wheatabix.

I thought it was really clever of you to sneak in a hint that Ianto was jealous of Gwen and worried about her not aging and being around for Jack, he doesn't need to worry now.

Yeah, he's concerned that the woman Jack's been making eyes at all this time is now on a level playing field with him, and Jack's just, "No, sweetie, you're an idiot." This pleases me. :)

[fide_et_spe]

I'm seriously concerned that you think blood cocoa is better than weetabix. Which is really nice with a bit of hot water, sugar and milk, yum.

[nancybrown]

On Buffy, Spike said he mixed Wbix in with his mug of blood to give it some texture. :) So, grosser than cocoa (to me).
