Sad, makes your throat ache, but its Jack. He doesn't stop loving, but he doesn't ever get to keep it. It's a nicely written little moment, like a coda to a 30's film as the hero heads back out into the cold.

Thank you very much. I could really see Jack doing this - I'm glad it worked for you too.

Ow. That hurts! it's so totally IC and i love the touch of Ianto being w/ Rob at the end and that Jack knows everything about him. Beautiful.

Thank you very much indeed. I thought that Jack would have pulled strings to find out as much as he could about Ianto's new lover - and I'm glad you thought so too.

This made me really, really, really sad. Masochistic of me, but I loved it.

I know! I'm so sorry! But thanks for reading anyway.

OUCH!! That created such a pain in my heart, I can hardly breathe. Poor Jack I can't stand for him to be so alone. Quick somebody find him a love he can keep. If your still pining for him you are also vulnerable and not worrying about the bigger picture, but I guess it isn't every minute of every day. Or is it?

Poor Jack! I hated myself a little bit for writing this, but I can really see him doing it this way. Thanks for reading despite the ouch!

Yes it was totally selfless, loving Jack. He would never be able to do anything other.

I think that's probably the saddest torchwood fic i've ever read. Beautifully written.

Oh! I'm so sorry! I don't actually read in the fandom - no time - so I have no idea what kind of stuff is normal for Torchwood fic. Thank you for reading it anyway.

No need to be sorry, it was beautiful! And it delved into issues that are often ignored in fic, so it was a great addition to the fandom.

bertybertle January 17 2009, 06:26:43 UTC

Oh, well thank you again.
