Just wanted to say thank you for this latest chapter! I love them all, and I love the way you write Jack and Ianto struggling to connect on an emotional level, but still convincingly let them be themselves, and wrap it all up in a gorgeous, mysterious plot. Kudos!

Thank you, Sweetie, you're very lovely!

*hugs*

Another brilliant chapter. You manage to weave the uncertainty and fear and defensiveness that they both have so well with humour and love and affection. And did I mention the sex! Guh! Loved it and the bit with the 'I love you' and Jack managing to stay quiet was perfect. The argument was painful and uncomfortable and had me shouting at Ianto to stop being an arse, but you show so clearly way he is feeling that way that I can't help but feel sory for him too. Looking forward to the next one and feeling slightly tense about it already!

Thank you, Sweetie, it's always to relief to hear that the emotional stuff works, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it.

Looking forward to the next one...

Try to hang on for the last few parts and read them all together, it will be much better that way.

*hugs*

It was so SWEET. Oh, god, I'm actually crying. XD I was glad of the update because it seemed like a graduation present (got my BA, will be starting grad school for the PhD in August) but didn't have time to read it until now. Jack is wonderful and I'm so glad Ianto has someone to look out for him now, he was so alone earlier. Good call on what Hart would want most, I suppose it's more obvious than I realized but in the moment of reading it I was in suspense.

Maybe the cure is sand? lol. Breaking through the...rules...or..symbolism...or...something?

This fic always has me pondering and philosophical. XD (for example) I'm a little surprised Ianto wouldn't expect Jack to wait, given how Jack waited on the Doctor. I guess he still doesn't *really* believe that Jack loves him, or at least not that much? I guess he didn't wait on the Doctor with exclusivity... and it's not like Jack hasn't given Ianto every reason to expect that their relationship wouldn't be forever...

Well done, Hon, that's brilliant, good for you!

Ooooh, no! *mops you up and plies you with chocolate*

I guess he still doesn't *really* believe that Jack loves him, or at least not that much?

I think Ianto is a realist, and it's not that he doesn't think Jack loves him, but he understands how people's priorities can change over time. The only person who realistically knows that Jack can remain focused is Jack, it's hard to imagine waiting that long for someone unless you've done it. Plus waiting for the Doctor was very different because it was about something Jack needed.

One of your comments makes me want to spoil you silly! Must...not...spoil...

Well done again, you clever thing.

MWAH!

Yay, we got some smut (: Not that I'm a perv or anything. They really are cute though...

[lazuli_kat]

I bow before your smiley Ianto.

I should've guessed the smut would clinch it!

*hugs*

What can I say? A little smut can make Ianto a happy boy (:

I'm printscreening this in case I never see it again!
