I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I knew there was a reason I needed to stay up :c)

I love Ianto referring to Jack as the 'other Uncle', I love Jack being able to show Ianto his weaknesses and I love the fact that the little kid was Jack - my money was actually on Ianto, don't know why. Told you I'm hopeless at that sort of thing.

I think I may have spotted a small typo though. "Although he’d not technically your Uncle. Should that be he's?

Thanks for pointing that hun, my poor tired and dyslexic brain can't differentiate between letters... I seriously need to invest in a beta.

Glad you loved it though hun! :) Only 3 chapters left... and there's still drama to come and I'm determined to wrap it all up and not write in this universe again. aye, right!

I'd be happy to help out if you want. I can do everything except commas. They are my greatest downfall :(

I'd be very grateful thanks hun. I've almost finished the next chapter of 'The Boy Is Gone' if you'd be willing to take a look. How do you wanna do it? Email? Message on here? I'm not fussed. ;)

oooohhh this was weird.... and the last line is somewhat scary...

But glad to see that Ianto is getting better :)

erin_giles November 7 2008, 22:25:31 UTC

I should have maybe pointed out that the last line was said by the boy in the previous chapter before Jack sent him back... since it's been about 2 weeks since I updated.

And yes, Ianto is on the mend...

Yay another chapter! I liked Rhys baby sitting Ianto and Finn - really cute.

The little boy wasn't quite what I thought. I was thinking along the lines of a younger Grey or a younger Jack. EvilFuture!Jack is evil but clever. Pitty Future!Jack ended up getting Ianto hurt!

The last line worries me slightly...

erin_giles November 7 2008, 22:29:09 UTC

Rhys is a good babysitter! ;)

And the thing is, without giving too much away, Jack is just as good at lying as Ianto! And I should have made it clear (since it's been 2 weeks between updates) that the last line is from the previous chapter and was said to Jack by the boy.

*hands over box of tissues* Glad you enjoyed it. And I have to admit Jack and the baby made me a tiny bit teary when i wrote it.
