Hey there! You might be interested to know that there is now a sequel to Long Night's Journey Into Day! Leaves of Memory is available at LJ, at DW, and at Teaspoon.

Absolutely lovely! I've always been rather enamored with the idea of Ianto/Ten, but you one-upped that by making it a threesome. GO YOU!

The whole thing was brilliant, but some of my most favorite parts were the flying spaghetti monster, and also Martha's particular brand of take-no-bullshit awesomeness. (OH AND ALSO THE PR0NS. THAT PART WAS GREAT TOO.)

Congrats on using a concept that could have easily turned into paint-by-numbers angst fic and making it fresh and very, very enjoyable. :D

Thank you! I love threesomes for longer stories, for some reason.

Glad you enjoyed the FSM. Someone suggested it to me as a joke, but then it somehow seemed very Torchwood to me, you know?

Oooh, thanks for letting me know! I'll be sure to check that out. :D

This was just awesome. I absolutely loved how incredibly messed up they all are and how Martha knocks a bit of sense into them, only for them to need more sense knocked into them. And Gwen's reaction. And the Flying Spaghetti Monster!!! And the hotness.

Loved the art as well. It complemented the story very nicely. I think my favorite piece, oddly enough, was the Doctor looking at Janet in her cell. The expression he's wearing fits that scene perfectly. I also love what's going on between him and Ianto in that scene as well as his own internal monologue.

Thank you!

I'm glad you enjoyed the FSM. yamx was totally joking when she suggested it, except then it struck me as very Torchwood, somehow.

I'm extremely enamored of the art I received as well. I got to see some of it in progress and I just couldn't be more pleased.

Brilliant, I loved this story. Powerful and sweet and disturbing in parts and hot too - lovely.

I enjoyed reading this quite a bit. You show how broken everyone is, so very well. It was interesting to see how the Doctor connected with Ianto and how Ianto took him under his wing. I'm glad the Doctor was able to help Jack and that Ianto forced Jack to get help, rather than continue to wallow. Martha was pretty brilliant in this too. I'm glad Jack, Ianto and the Doctor were able to come to an agreement and find each other in the end.

Thank you! The Doctor's connection with Ianto was one of my favorite parts to write, I think. It was a little unexpected; when I first wrote "The Right Touch," I had in my head that the two of them had decided to "share" Jack, so to speak, and then gradually fallen for each other as well. But that turned out not to be the case.
