Oh that was nummy. And awkward. And funny. And hot. So, basically, all the good things about Torchwood. Well done!

Thank you! Yeah, I love how many different things Torchwood is. And I love the combination of awkward and hot. In fic. Oh heck, in real life too.

Instead of going to bed, I read your story. Time well spent! I have to say I really liked Martha in this. Competent and weirded out and friendly and fighting to keep her head. And your Ianto was incredible. Really. I loved how you portrayed the odd and shifting power dynamic between Jack and Ianto and how much understanding also exists between them.

Plus the erotic imagery was full of yowza.

Yay I kept someone up late! That's a wonderful compliment.

Martha stumped me. I got the setup as a prompt, and I first went yay! good prompt! but then I went Oh crap, how do I write Martha? So I'm glad she reads as sufficiently Martha-like.

I cannot tell you how much I love this - my words have left me. Certainly it's one of the most brilliant and well-written fics I've read in a while. Beautifully in character and perfect voicing. The medical details were also quite accurate from what I recall from my days as an EMT.

So - thank you for sharing this gorgeous piece of writing with us. ♥

I'm glad the medical stuff worked. I haven't done any drugs, so I had to research that, and I peppered my friend the ER doc with "okay, say someone comes into the ER having taken way too much E, what might happen? What would you do?" Then I fudged some stuff about how an IV line goes in (needle, remove, then line? there's a cather...somehow?...write around it).

Thank you for the excellent comments, I'm so pleased that you liked this.

Oh my, this is very good ... every character plays perfectly. (Even Martha!) Complicated and intense. Thank you!

They're all so complicated and messed up, it's a ton of fun to throw them into the soup and see what happens.

Thanks for commenting!
