I loved this, the quiet emotion of it and the slow reveal.

If it burns slow, it burns well. Or at least... it always works with fires :)

This is fantastic! It's really amazing!

[valderys]

Cheers, m'dear!

Oh cool! Recs are always good, but also, it's not a community that I've come across before - I love recs comms! I'm so joining.

(And thank you for fixing the spelling on the rec - I'd been umming and ahhing over whether to ask - yet it feels so churlish, you know?)

Utterly lovely. And the fireflies line is amazing.

Oh, thank you! If there's one thing I'm always unhappy about, it's my inability to write good smut (or, at least, I'm never happy with it, anyway :)

I love the inside of your Ianto's head. So ordered. So desperately holding on to routine in order to get through this.(and I love how the desperation is never overt but still very present)

Also a brilliantly oblique look at how things are remembered or forgotten as the human race gets on with it.

Thank you.

It's nice to know that, isn't it? That things will eventually be ok? (Or, at least, as we like to envision them, anyway? :)

And yes, Ianto is desperate, but he's been desperate for such a long time in one way or another. Poor Ianto. He's almost used to it now... *pets him*
