Excellent!!! I really liked it, a very interesting approach to the character of Ianto. I loved this part "Ianto, move the world three inches to the left like a good little servant". Brilliant!!! :-)

thank you;D i do think that at that particular point in time, he would have been feeling pretty neglected with every reason.

i'm glad you liked the move the world three inches to the left line, we used to say it often to my mum when she would role out a huge list of jobs to do and we'd say 'and would you like us to move the world three inches to the left whilst we're at it?' i think there is probably some of that in ianto's job as he's pretty much got to make everything happen and make the impossible possible and they forget that he is only human and has limits.

He he he, I love the origin of the phrase, I could also use it with my mom, only I would say "Quieres que también mueva el mundo tres pulgadas a la izquierda???" It is brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing these wonderful stories of your family with me.

*Huggles Ianto.* Oh they really need to start treating him better. I'm glad Jack had the sense to talk to Ianto about what was bothering him.

they really do. jack loves ianto really and it probably would have started with him asking ianto what was actually bothering him and then moving on from there.

awwwws poor Ianto. I loved how you captured his ability to blend in and almost become part of the scenery along with his need to hide emotions, but at the same time almost want to ask for help.

Thank you:D i think with ianto there is a contrasting sense of hide/show going on. he wants to be hidden but at the same time he wants to be noticed and not just taken for granted and i think there was a lot of that in series one most notably in cyberwoman but maybe in countrycide when he brought lisa up as if he were almost saying 'im hurting here; someone take notice' or maybe that's juse me over analysing
