Ianto would be the one to miss her the most... they don't realise it but He's the one that knows the most about them... comes from staying on the periphery.... very well written... i liked it very much :)

[halfspokenwords]

Thank you. :) Glad you liked!

Wow. Wow. Oh, I loved this so much. I love Suzie so much, and you've written her wonderfully. I liked Ianto understanding - he knows what it's like to be in her position, exiled from the team and hanging on at the periphery.

It makes me very happy to hear you say that, so thank you. I like the parallel between Suzie and Ianto in the first season; they're the ones with the big, long-term secrets. Plus, I wanted to address the fact that when we see Suzie next, she asks after every team member except Ianto.

This is lovely, and I love how you drew that subtle parallel between Suzie and Lisa; the situation has to be an eerily familiar one for Ianto. I also like that Suzie wasn't particularly gentle with him; at that point, she's too angry to be gentle with anyone.

It's a parallel that I think Ianto would acknowledge, even unconsciously. In Cyberwoman, he makes the point that Torchwood owes it to Lisa to help save her-- and In Suzie's case, Torchwood is at fault in a similar way, especially since at this point it isn't clear how far gone she really is.

Thanks for your comments!

Your Suzie is quite good, and I like the way you run the dynamic between her and Ianto. I've always imagined them getting along enormously well, because they're both people who firmly rely on interpersonal boundaries, and would thus be very comfortable falling into routine together.

I wonder, how does your Suzie get on with Jack? I'd like to see.

A+ little fic. Show me more?

[halfspokenwords]

Thank you. And I've always imagined the same thing. One of the reasons I wanted to write this is because I was utterly disappointed that Ianto and Suzie had no scenes together, and that she didn't even mention him alongside Tosh and Owen.

More? Well, I don't know. I may give it a go at some point in the future.

Love the interaction between the two.

Thanks for reading.
