I love how he hides things in the cereal box! Go Ianto. Lots of great little details in this.

Also, just for the record, this is me giggling like a madman at the 1,000 word limit and you in the same sentence. Suddenly, I feel better about some of those WiaD rounds. ;)

Two quick editing things:
- your italics tag when Ianto thinks "until you drug me" is wonky, and
- I've never seen it spelled retconn. The S1 website spells it with one n.

Here endeth the nitpickery. ;)

Our boy wasn't going down without a fight.

And yeah, it keeps me in check when I start going, "I wonder how badly they'd kick my ass if I said 250 words this week?"

And thanks - I need the nitpickery. :) No story from me this week for that contest... health issue are kind of taking up all my time. Blurgh. I'd rather be writing.

Argh. Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly.

(Oh, and it may amuse you to know I'm doing myself injury with that 3,000 word limit. I let myself think big. Damn it.)

LOL! If it makes you feel any better... the girls both gave lower word counts than you did. ;) I thought for SURE I'd get three prompts that said 5000 words when I gave you the parameters.

As for me... blurgh. See my LJ for all the drama. :p
