Mum made the special lathkei pancakes for breakfast

You had me here. :D Loved this peek into the future (and past). Great job!

*g* In my head, they light candles for eight days, too.

Thanks for reading!

That was lovely! I loved the little sneak peak into Jack's past. :)

Hee! Thanks so much!

(Also, icon love.)

I love all of the changes! I love that they are using Logic and I love that you made alien mythology! I love Gray!

BUT MOSTLY I STILL LOVE THE LINE ABOUT THE KITCHEN CABINETS. AHAHAHA. OH MAN. IT'S STILL FUNNY. IT ALWAYS WILL BE.

Little boys are fun to write!

IT'S BETTER JACK'S WAY, OKAY?

That.....was absolutely better than I could have expected :D
Thank you soooooo much!
Oh and your characterisation of Gray defined awesome! it made me actually love him as a character which is something when I usually write him as an emotionless asshole

*flaily hands* Yay!!

I'm glad you liked Gray -- he was a fabulous excuse to write little-boy logic, which is always enjoyable.

Thanks for the super-fun prompt!

*goes back to watching the pretty icon*

beautiful glimpse at jack's past when he and gray were happy children. ianto dreams about someone rearranging while he sleeps, of the things he has seen with torchwood this is his nightmare lol.

Thanks so much!

(*g* In my head, Jack rearranges Ianto's cupboards, his bookshelves, his wardrobe, etc. This Annoys Ianto, who, as a sort of defense mechanism against all the things about Torchwood he can't control, likes -needs- to have autonomy over his own space. However, Jack makes up for it by sometimes doing the laundry.)

Rambling over, sorry 'bout that. Thanks again for commenting!
