Whoa! Tosh got back through the rift that Gwen and Owen opened, but left Ianto behind? Wow. I don't remember this anymore from your oneshot! *bounces excitedly*

Poor Ianto, all alone!

Hey, I said that it would start to wander off the beaten path ... :D Trust me, it will be getting pretty drastically different before it's all over - but I consider this to be the real turning point.

I really wish I could see some younger!Jack/Ianto, but would that mess with the timeline? Retcon is a wonderful thing, but also easily abused... :D

*cough, cough*

I'm not saying anything ...

It took me long enough, didn't it? ;)

Thank you about Gerald! I was itching to write him (after doing so a couple of times for WiaD), but I was a little worried I was getting too into a relatively minor character.

Thank you! (I need to actually get my hands on a copy of TS for myself for reference. exfatalist might start making me handle her Gareth-signed copy with gloves on ...)

NOOOO Ianto left behind is OF THE BAD!!!! And poor Tosh she was obviously wrecked about it. OMG - poor Jack this is going to kill him...and I had an OMG moment when I realized what/who was in the third cryo chamber!!! OMG!!! Brilliant chapter. Looking forward to more :)

Poor Ianto, poor Tosh, and poor Jack - poor everyone!

Thank you. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[stray_heart]

Thank you. :) (And yay Gerald!)

Okay, I just read the whole story so far in one sitting, and I need more! More, I say! Fascinating twist on the episode. I'm waiting for modern-day Jack to discover that the mysterious Mr. Jones from back then was none other than Ianto! But maybe it won't progress that way?

Whatever, I can't wait to see!

Awesome! I hope I won't disappoint with the next installment. :)

But maybe it won't progress that way?

You'll just have to wait and see!
