This is simply gorgeous!

I'm honored beyond words that you chose to share such a personal part of your family history with me by including it in this fic! The letter excerpts really complement the feeling of the story so well. There is such a quiet power and dignity in this piece. The words from both Travis's letter to Martha and the story Jack finally tells Ianto are simple and clearly edited for the sake of protecting their audience but they still draw your attention to the horrors that remain unspoken.

Thank you so much for writing this for me. You have created something very beautiful and special. I'm very honored to have had a very tiny part in its creation:)

Thank you!

And it's been so long, I almost thought I'd forgotten how to write! Well, Torchwood at least. :D Thank you so much! :) I'm glad you enjoyed!

Lovely! I can never get enough of fics that have Jack explain TYTNW to Ianto, and I liked the impetus for this one.

Thank you! I had thought, once upon a time, that I was done with TYTNW, but then I got star54kar's prompt, and...I suppose I was wrong. :)

Oh what a creative idea beautifully executed. And lovely to see TW back on your creative plate.

Thank you! <3 It was really hard to...not write a weird version of Sherlock or Supernatural (or even, bizarrely, The West Wing). It's nice to be visiting old friends. ;)

Lovely read. I always want more interaction between Jack and Ianto afte TYTNW as well. Jack went through so much. Thanks for writing. And as you mention SPN - my latest obsession - more of that would be good too.
