I really loved this. Rose was fascinating and flawed and so believable... Mickey was also one of my favorite characterizations from this story. What a fantastic read.

Thanks. This was a very strange place to go for me, so I'm glad that the character's voices rang true for you.

This is amazing. I don't usually read stuff that's not Jack/Ianto and this was just fantastic. AND OMG THE END, ::dies::

Author's Note 1: I HATE YOU ALL.
MOAR? Umm, I mean... WE LOVE YOU TOO~ :D

[nancybrown]

Thanks. I don't normally write stuff that's not Jack/Ianto, so we're even.

PEOPLE MADE PUPPY EYES. *facepalm*

Oh. Okay, that might actually break Jack. *frets*

[nancybrown]

It very much might. :(

I'm so glad you gave in and wrote this. It was less not-happy and not-sweet than your note led me to expect. There's a pensiveness about much of your fic, a sort of serenity even in the melancholia that I find ... calming, I guess. *strikes Zen pose*

[nancybrown]

*lol* *is Zen-making*

The "not happy and sweet" for me has to do with the ending, and just how much of a manipulator Ianto is in this one, and how willing he is to do it all over again to get what he wants. I can think of at least one person who may read and will freak the hell out. So.

Oh, this is bloody brilliant. You're voices are perfect, and I just love this premise. And so desperatly sad that they are both so singlemindedly chasing something that they don't realise they have waht they are looking for. The ending is wonderful, and so very manipulative and Ianto. Could ramble on with so much more, but I'll shut up and mem instead.

:) Thanks! I don't think they were exactly what the other was looking for, but they certainly didn't end up with what they wanted, either.
