That was heartbreaking. It's meloncholy and full of lost hope and chances, and a lovely way of blending it all together. I think I'm with criccieth, its so sad Jack and Ianto miss out on the chance to really see each other

Really liked the formatting, it's an interestng visual idea and it works so well with this tale. Thanks for sharing it

I also loved the glimpses of the roads not taken. It took me a bit to understand it but wow - what a great idea.

Incredible story! I liked the format of the story -- the many ways it could have gone besides the one we actually got. Like Ianto's list, it offers a glimpse of "what if". I wonder, though, if it would have turned out any better for Ianto, as it seems that with this version of the story, he is still invisible. There is no Jack-flirtations, no one notices his pain, no one tries to include him, no one asks for his input on cases; he is an automaton, bringing coffee when asked, ordering and serving their meals, and cleaning up after the them. I have often wondered what would have happened to Ianto had "Cyberwoman" not happened as it did. This is a wonderful glimpse into that particular "what if". Would Ianto be the "Ianto" we all know and love? What a heartbreaking retelling -- on all levels.

I generally dislike clever formatting, but this was clever to a purpose. Well done.
