You've got a really good story here, a great mix of mystery and suspense! The Owen and Jack thing you've got going is great, and I'm worried now that Gwen and Ianto are stuck out of the hub with an infested Tosh! You've got the whole team in this, and they all have a roll to play, which is pretty impressive. :D
A minor criticism though, you've got a few malapropisms which slightly break the reading flow. For example in this part you've got "tremor" (a kind of shaking) when you probably meant "tumour" (an abnormal growth), and in part five you've got "ridged" (having ridges, like corrugated iron) instead of "rigid" (stiff and unmoving). There are a few more like that throughout the story, which would almost certainly be picked up by a beta reader. :)
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like it. Sorry about the spelling, its my dyslexia and inpatience my beta is very slow and hardly ever availible so... I get annoyed, but part HAD actually been beta read. So I a bit dissipointed that it wasn't picked up.
Oh it can be, especially when your intelligent enough to want to use BIG words, why are those always the most difficult ones to spell??? I must be all the extra letters and the english language, why so many words??? :)
the dialogue was a lot better in this chapter. although, you did just write standard angry doctor, and i don't understand why ianto was able to convince the doctor to let tosh go.
also, the scene with gwen asking ianto if he loved jack had lovely insight. however, the prose immediately after ianto says "no" seemed off for a few words. "
‘No…’ Ianto reluctantly answered, but him and Gwen both knew that the no was really a yes." this is the sentence im referring to. it just seems a little...abrupt? like maybe you might want to throw in some commentary about defense mechanisms or something. i have no idea. it just seemed off to me. but i loved the paragraph that followed this about ianto having to figure out who he was trying not to betray.
and as usual, im really into this plot. and i really like the stakes and obstacles you've set up. i really like what s going on with tosh. i hope all ends well!!!!!
this is a good story, though, all things considered, and can't wait for you to update!
Oh well Ianto pulled rank over the doctor, they are Torchwood and as it says at the beginning of every episode they are outside of the goverment... what they say goes!! Thanks for the comment helpful as ever :)
