This is exactly the ending I wanted from that book. Perfect!

Thanks! :D It's a little outside of my normal writing territory, so I'm glad you liked it!

Holy bathtub, e. e. cummings. <3 My favorite poet. Heart go poof, and I hadn't even started reading yet.

Awwwwwwww. :) Gorgeous. Adorable. Yay. "Ianto is Ianto again, with all of his Ianto parts." Oh, JACK. "I missed your dick." From him that actually sounds oddly romantic. :D

Jack/Ianto schmoop. Just what... Okay maybe not what the Doctor ordered, but it's sure as heck what I needed! :D

There are a handful of poems that I just know and can recite portions of. There's no rhyme of reason to which poems I remember that way, but this is one of them and it was running through my head as I wrote this and seemed appropriate XD

Jack/Ianto schmoop! What even! Who even knew I was capable of this? I certainly didn't! XD But I'm glad you liked it and thank you for reading :)

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)

Outside your normal writing comfort zone or not, this is delightful and I love it. You have such a gorgeous way with language, brush-stroking pictures in my head with the words you use. Thank you for sharing this, hon. ♥

Oh, wow, thank you! This was a great comment to get right before bed :D I'm glad that you liked it so much ♥

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)

And, yeah, I mean, there've been a lot of Jack/Ianto post-Almost Perfect fics written, so I felt like, if I was going to go that route, I needed to look at it from a new angle. So I'm glad I succeeded there :)
