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.
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.
