Well, I didn't think I was going to be able to get anything together to post for your birthday, Hon! But then... suddenly... this morning... out of the blue... a quiet couple of hours at home and the inkling of an idea

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

a bittersweet leave-taking. nicely written POV..."...hurts like hell and then you move on. So what’s gone wrong this time? Why now? Why here? Why him? You know it’s almost sick the way you keep tabs on his life since you cut him loose. But you can’t help it." Really a heart tugger.

Thank you so much, and I'm glad the 2nd person POV didn't put you off.

Writing like this is what makes weeding through all the uninspired fics worth it.

Absolutely heartbreaking for Jack but I hope Ianto never has a sudden breakthrough and remembers Jack or Torchwood. Let the poor boy be happy.
This was stunning.

Thank you so much for such very kind words. For the first time when writing a bittersweet fic, I had no idea of how I wanted it to resolve, and that's odd because I like to know, even if I never write it down. Anyway, thanks for reading, and I'm really glad it worked for you.

I really like the idea of Jack using the retcon because he was distracted by Ianto, although of course it has failed and he still is..(Which is a nice twist.) Really well done and sad, of course I want a sequel where Ianto remembers all, is a little cross, but then dumps boring Rob (I've decided he is dull) and goes back to Jack.

Well, Rob WOULD look boring after Jack, wouldn't he? How do you top THAT (as it were!)*g*

Anyway, thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
