What You Forgot.

Oh, good grief.

I really thought I'd done all my crying about Jack and Ianto, barring actually watching them on screen (particularly in Day Four), but then I read this, which is absolutely brilliant, and just completely heartbreaking:

EFJHERJKFHEKH FRERERICK AND SALLY FREDERICK AND SALLY! I love them!

[theohsocurlyone]

My mum got me the audiobook for the second book from the library when I was about thirteen; I'd never read the stories, didn't know the characters, wasn't even genre savvy enough to guess that Fred was about to die, and yet when he did, I was broken. I cried so much; it was insane. He was just...oh, he was lovely, and they just fit together perfectly! And then he...before he knew that Sally was...GAH!

It still moves me, even now. But YES, THEY ARE BOTH SO BRILLIANT! (I never bothered watching the TV versions, though.)

Meep! I read the books, in order and shit but I knew that he died before I started reading Shadow in the North because I'm impatient and flicked through and waaaaaaah I was so sad. I love them! And I was sooo pissed off when Sally hooked up with that Goldberg guy. Just ew.

The tv versions are really not all that. As in I didn't really enjoy them in any way :p

Goldberg's badassery is brilliant, as is his accent (I love the audiobooks so much - I have The Tiger in the Well on ricketty cassette tapes!)...but yeah, Fred was her real true love!
