Ooh, now that's dark! Such a turn around. I can appreciate why you've written a piece like this. I could actually see Jack doing this too. Lovely, but I don't want to see him kill Ianto in too many more fics. That bit really left me cold. Then I guess that's kind of the point. So different to all the make up fics. Loved it but you'll forgive me if I don't want a sequel this time :-)

*tired smile* People seem to want dark. They prefer rape and murder and since that's practically all the fiction around, it kind of affects me. And the series isn't exactly countering the effect. Jack seems to be exhibiting classic symptoms of being a sociopath. To kill Tosh's lover in front of her and then make a joke of it... Nothing I could do can top that. *shiver* And it occurred to me to wonder how the Doctor will react to this Jack, when he has always, always been an advocate of killing as a last resort.

o. i'm kinda in shock. this is a very unhappy piece. i liked Ianto's revenge, that was tasteful. i also feel i can relate to insane!Jack, i spose after all that time waiting on earth it was just too much...
i think i can sum that up as 'scary'

Duuuuuude. I love dark, bastard!Jack. I can see him actually doing this if he goes a little mad, it's good.
I also *hrt* the colder side of Ianto. Win!

Wow this is just so fantasticly dark.

I love the twist of the Doctor with Ianto's face and the file and well I just love it all.

You can do dark and you can do fluffy!

Great Job.

[tanarian]

Can't do fluffy any more. I've tried. They usually wind up either killing one another or tearing each other apart. I've ended up in tears at the keyboard more than once before now. Not my idea of fun, but different strokes, I suppose.

[talcat]

How about dark with a happy ending? (or hope for a little bit of happyness)

Please don't say you had to give up the Ianto/Jack and the nutter fic?

Becuse the Jack your writeing now would kill him slowly and painfuly.

[adafrog]

Well done. Dark, though. I know he's been that way, but it gets a bit depressing after a while. *shrugs*

[tanarian]

Thank God someone's finally said that!! It is depressing, isn't it? Please let someone say something nice to someone else in tonight's episode, or I will go completely mad!

(Of course, if I'm going to fantasise, please can I have a fluffy scene between Ianto and Jack!!! I don't even care if it just involves Ianto giving Jack a choccie biccie and Jack smiling at him! I have no pride...)

[adafrog]

Hey, I'm right there with ya. :D
