Oh, God. This is perfect. Morbid and gutting and perfectly Jack.

*squeezes you tight* Thank you, hun! <3

wow powerful piece of writing here!
As usual, Ianto knew what Jack needed!
Thanks for sharing!

[sariagray]

Thanks! :D And he usually does. ;)

This just feels like a dull, persistent ache, and there's nothing to be done about it other than endure. I like how Ianto doesn't swoop in and try to make things better. He just lets Jack be, yet reminds Jack that he's there.

Hope you feel better. There's always the new year to look forward to.

Thank you! A dull, persistent ache is the perfect way to describe it. (And I do feel better already, thanks!)

Everything will be better in the new year for me, for all of us, even for Jack.

[sariagray]

Here's hoping!

Wow. That was really good. I love pensive Jack. I also love the little detail with the dry mouth, because yes, I also think this would be much worse than dying and dying again.

And just when I thought there never can be so many gulls you said that he was counting the same ones again and again. Heh!

[sariagray]

Thank you! And seriously, dry mouth is so torturous, I can't even stand it.

(When they're flapping around, it's hard to keep track!)
