Wonderful! Your stories are such a great reminder of how good Torchwood was at its best. Really looking forward to the finale.

Thanks! :) It's always fun to see how the characters will play off each other in the Hub, isn't it?

I do enjoy slightly-evil-Lois... Looking forward to the new story later today!

Slightly-evil Lois is my favorite thing to write ever. :D :D :D

I'm really loving the whole Third Season concept. Have read everything just recently, and eagerly looking forward to more. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! I hope you like the rest!

Really nice exposition here, I like Lois's reports. You can see she is struggling.

Also de aged Jack, bless, and the alien's wanting sweeties.

:) Had this story ever come together, I wanted to play more with de-aged Jack but I couldn't get it to flow. Glad you liked it!

Well you could always do it sometime if you get the inspiration. It would be really fun. I think Jack being childish can be a bit of a fan trope based more on the fact that JB larks around so much at cons, rather than canon where Jack isn't childish at all. I really liked that you showed that it's not just regular Jack, but because he is so good at playing with Stephen, which is in canon, sending him there was a stroke of genius.

I must have been tired from travel yesterday, can't believe I put an apostrophe in aliens.

:) Honestly, I just like making Alice even more exasperated with him. And Steven's like, "Cool, play time!"

Dear Firesnap,

Thank you thank you thank you! :)

How is that you could take a trope (age regression) that usually makes me cringe and make me laugh and enjoy it so immensely?

It's okay, I can make you cringe later when I eventually write the follow-up to Golden Years. *sigh*

You're so very strong at the showing instead of telling character development and I am jealous/delighted by it.

:D Thank you kindly. It's a skill I've been trying to build, and I am thrilled you like the results!

Also, while I'm throwing out compliments, have I mentioned your Martha? Usually Martha comes off as so dull to me in stories. It's nice having a Martha that just isn't there to contact the Doctor or be a temporary medic for the team, but actually has a voice and personality of her own.

Hee, thanks. I know I am occasionally guilty of Martha-as-plot-device, but she was my favourite Ten-era companion, and I love every chance I have of putting her into a story to see what she'll do.

Also, Alice silently thinking of Ianto as Jack's current toy had ( ... )
