Quick question - is your Dreamwidth post a friends only post?

[usakiwigirl]

Um, not anymore? Sorry. I completely forgot to go back and change that. Thanks for the heads-up!

And believe me, I will be sure to mention this comm when I post. I've never done an AU before, but that picture almost wrote itself. Slowly, but like I mentioned on my post, I have no life, so no worries.

Thanks for putting this up so quickly, and for making the author tag. Much appreciated.

No problem, it happens to all of us LOL

If any of the other pictures from the comm stir the muses, feel free to write/post more! There will be a new cross-over pic in March, too!

Is the story going to be available on LJ?

[usakiwigirl]

No, I can't get it on to LJ. It's too long for one post. But my DW story is completely unlocked, so you shouldn't have any issues getting to it. I don't think. Let me know. If it becomes a major problem, I'll see about splitting it up for LJ. Bit of a pain in the arse, but worth it if people can't get to it.

No worries, I can read it on DW :)

[usakiwigirl]

Oh, I'm so glad! I was actually worried that I had my setting all dorked up. I logged out and tried it that way, and was able to get to it myself, so I kept my fingers crossed that it would work for you, too.

Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

This was brilliant! Of all the crazy AUs, a wedding planner's Torchwood Hub, with One in London and Two in Glasgow, would never have crossed my mind. And I love the way you worked in so much canon and had it mesh perfectly with your AU. For some reason, my favorite was actually your take on Owen: dead inside, and Ianto's contemplating shooting him in the shoulder if he mistreated Tosh. And of course Gwen's recurring nightmare.

And the relationship was sweet without being sappy, and the sex was hot: my idea of the perfect combination. Thanks for writing this. I'll put it in memories if I can, and bookmark it if I can't; not going to risk losing this one.

[usakiwigirl]

Thank you! This was some of the most fun I've ever had writing from any sort of prompt. And a picture - really didn't think I had it in me, LOL!

I loved working in the canon. Even the little things, like saying that Owen was dead inside. The big one was finding a way to get Gwen's wedding disaster in, even if it was just as a dream. That one was too priceless not to use!

I'm glad that you thought it wasn't too sappy. I like sweet occasionally, but the boys are boys, so making it too saccharin just doesn't cut it. And I like that you thought the sex was hot, even though I kept it to R, rather than NC-17. I can go either way, some days. *shrugs*

Thanks for bookmarking this, or putting it memories. You've made my day. Actually, you've made my month, to be honest! Ta. *mwah*

I should have mentioned this much earlier when I replied to your post - if you want, you can download this from AO3. I have it there, my username is the same, and there are multiple formats, for either computer or e-readers. Just so's you know. ;)

Thanks - I'll do that too (I just bookmarked it earlier; not the most computer-literate person around).

LOVED IT!!!!!

[usakiwigirl]

I'm so glad! I really enjoyed writing it, and it makes me absurdly happy that others have enjoyed reading it. :)
