Thank you so much!! Both for the lovely commentary and for being my beta for this round. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the story, and I can't wait for when I get to read yours again!

Didn't know the movie, so IMDB'd it. I like yours better. Not only because it has Ianto. Very succinct, very edge-of-the-seat, no filler, all making it a very good read. It seemed obvious by chapter 3 that the woman with the laptop was the baddie, but I've been fooled before. Was glad the way it turned out in the end, hated Hartman. Of course, I can never watch the movie now, cause I'd just be wishing it was your version instead. Wanted to make a clearer comment, but didn't want to do spoilers. Hope I succeeded.

Thank you!! =D Yeah I really liked the concept of the movie, but when I watched the actual film there were things that worked and things that didn't, so I thought I'd try my own hand at using the base concept and building something slightly different. I'm glad you liked it!

Excellent work. This is a very compelling retelling of the film.

Aww thank you!! Have you watched the original one? I haven't found that many people that actually know the movie haha.

carinas_carinae September 28 2015, 01:41:55 UTC

Yes, I have seen it. I liked your version because I wasn't forced to deal with the half-of-him-is-missing and he's-going-to-die-anyway aspect.

Haha yeah, I watched it again to get ideas for the fic and I was like well I'm not gonna do that

That was a great read. Love the way it looked in print. And Martha..she's the best!

nemo_baker September 21 2015, 16:07:04 UTC

I'm so glad you liked it, thank you for reading! I loved being able to include Martha in a story for once, hehe. And playing around with the formatting was really fun to do as well.

I loved this! Wonderful pacing, perfect voices even in the AU setting, and I loved how the format really amped up the tension. Add another voice to "haven't seen the movie" but this has me intrigued.

Ahh thank you!! I appreciate the commentary on the format, it was sort of experimental and I was curious if people would respond well to it or not. It is definitely an interesting film, even if it's not executed as well as it could be in some places. Although it's not perfect, I would definitely give it a go =D
