Aw, this is so adorable! I've listened to Sin Eaters, but I'll confess I don't remember half of it. I know it was the one GDL recorded. Right? Or... Well.

Anyway. This was really sweet. :) It's one of the small pieces of interaction that I love so much. <3 You make it seem so easy to do! That's a compliment, btw. xD I really liked how the silly, cuteness of the kittie moment was broken by Ianto's slip - they're never really gonna be over that, are they? I think I'd like to see a fic where they talk about it, long time after. I also think it's beautiful that even though the whole betrayal thing will probably always be a raw point, they can just walk past it and go on. It's the thing with Jack and Ianto that I think I love most. They're so far from perfect and yet they work perfectly.

Needless to say that Jack and the kitty cat was adorable, right? Because it was. It was adorable.

Anyway, it was great! You know I'm a fan. I really, really like your style, dude. Just loved it!

Yay! Thank you! (Yes, it's the one GDL recorded. He did Jack's accent FREAKING AMAZINGLY.)

I'm glad that you liked it - these slice-of-life stories are my favorite kind, really, even though I love sprawling plotlines. They're just so nice and intimate and, frankly, easy, compared to multiparters.

(I'm glad it was adorable.)

Thank you so much for the nice words and the awesome!

Thank you!

Really liked this. I've listened to Sin Eaters so much because GDL has the most wonderful speaking voice that I can quote dialogue. And Pusska landing on Ianto's head and his reaction (a frankly girly scream) had me laughing aloud.
This was so sweet. You should do more of these fillers.

Now I'm going to have to go back and listen again to The Sin Eaters. I hardly remember anything except how great his voice was (and voices were). But this stands almost on its own and I liked it a lot.

Thanks!
