Lovely. I do like the "outsider" POV of Rhys here.

And this line says a lot - Can't die and dies in a gruesome way and then comes back to life really aren't the same thing.

This is a wonderful story. I didn't have a chance to read this during the Fest as I frantically worked on my bingo, and I'm glad I waited so I could really enjoy this. I love how Rhys comes to realize what Jack goes through and that he's more than a pretty face and a flirt.

I really loved this. Fantastic work on Rhys's POV, and a neat little "day in the life" feel to the whole thing.

That was a beautiful little story! Great whumping, but also great pairing with Rhys and Jack. You don't read that too often. I really love Rhys.

And I loved especially the "and that he must know how his own not dying thing works". It's true, even a lot of authors for the TV episodes make that mistake and have Jack just not die (like when he was in the radiation room with the Doctor), but it isn't right. He IS dying - he just keeps coming back.

I wonder how long he took and how many different ways to die he tried out till he was convinced.

This is brilliant. Love that it's from Rhys's point of view. The characters are all spot on, as well.
