*Hands tissues* I'm sorry, although I guess it means I did something right. :S But still, thanks so much for your lovely comment.

Beautiful.

The thought of immortal Jack always breaks my heart.

Thank you! And I agree, to think that anyone can live forever alone is beyond tragic. :(

Jack being immortal always broke my heart, and right now even more, you just made it so real ....so intense.

YOU!

Okay. I'm back. That was an emotional rollercoaster after watching that scene again. But nonetheless, fabulous. The intense description, the fast-paced whirlwind of emotions that you just caught so brilliantly ( ... )

Oh Naddy!!! *huggles you rather tightly in an almost clingy manner* :P

Oh god...perfect timing eh? But I am just so pleased you liked it, mostly because its not like what I write at all, and I was terrifyingly out of my comfort zone = your opinion means even more than it usually does!!

It broke my heart writing a broken Jack :( But once again...I'm at a loss at what to say. I mean, you pretty much summed up everything I was going for here, which obviously means...well...the world to me. Thank you.

I almost wanted Ianto to be suddenly alive, but alas, canon I was being. And maybe Jack will, he owes it to Ianto maybe to give him those 1000 years, and then go back and be the man that Ianto believed in. I really like that idea now you've mentione dit.

Hey, tangents are welcome :) But again, thank you so so much! You are, as always, completely amazing!

Loveeeee
