Oh, this hurts. Badly. It's beautiful and painful. Mutual grief of the most scarring kind. LOVELY.

This is such a brilliant piece of writing. I love the descriptions, so evocative, and the dialogue. I think my favourite thing though is Jack saying "You're not crazy". It's a nice way to pull us out of it as well, and so very Jack. You've really nailed the way it feels to be inexplicably anxious and worried and then feel enormous guilt about it.

How much do I love this... Wow. It struck some chords with me, especially the subverting grief into anxiety. I get that.

Thank you for writing the Ianto, Jack, and Gwen that I love. This is perfect on so many levels. *hugs*

oh god that was painful and heart-breaking and very real.

You've got me remembering those awful moments as Exit Wounds ended.
