Exactly! Ditto that!

*grins* I can't get enough of 'em, but oh well. Thanks for giving me a go anyway, then (and I know I'm biased but the rest of the series isn't half bad either!). And I'm glad you liked in spite of yourself :D

"What do you want, Owen?" he asks. "In five words or less."

"To dance with you." Owen offers him a sheepish grin.

I think that's my favorite bit. I mean, I loved all of it, but my swooning began at that moment. I liked that Owen knew that Ianto had come retconned champagne and I'm glad Ianto didn't make himself forget. Words cannot express how much I enjoyed this even though "I don't think you should call me anymore" made me sad.

Oh, I was going to get Owen and Ianto dancing if it killed me, dancing always makes things more interesting and exciting. And sad, of course.

Thank you so much, and I'm glad you liked :)

This is just too precious. I'm all teary and flappy now! I smiled, I grinned like an idiot, I 'awwed', I eeked, I frowned, I got teary.

That's quite an impressive list of emotions you just made me go through there!

I love this series so much and I'm crossing my fingers for more.

*iconsnap*

Exactly the effect I was going for then! I got all teary while writing the dialogue, it was quite awkward ;)

There's going to be one more, which I've got plans etc for, so keep your eyes open.

Thank you so much honey!

I have so much love for this it's fantastic and wounderful. I dont think Ive ever loved Owen in a fic so much ever. I want this to be a happy ending I always do but I cant see it happening :(

[paperclipbitch]

I'm going to try and write a non-traumatic ending, but it probably won't be all that happy. *sighs* Damn canon.

Thank you very much :)
