Awwwwwwwwwwwww *whines and wipes away the tears*

You broke my heart when I thought he'd left! I'd also love to see Gwen's reaction when she finds out he's still there. :P

This was just gorgeous. Beautiful writing, genius idea. You have it all. I'm not sure what to say my dear. *grins*

Except that I agree with you. CoE never happened. Never. Except the beans moment. That might have happened somewhere, if only because the universe has a sense of humour.

Thank you so much! =) I was a little nervous, because this is my first Torchwood fic - or at least, the first one I've finished and posted for anyone to see.

On the subject of CoE, (I'm going to be vague, because some people on my f-list haven't seen it yet) the thing is that it was really really well-done as a show in general. But it had so many flaws of characterization - Gwen, for example, was very different from her character in the first two seasons. And of course there was the obvious thing. So I don't count CoE as canon, but as a decently-written fanfic that somehow made it to television.

Especially considering RTD and his jackassery. I wasn't impressed with his statements surrounding CoE and fans.

This is great. I love how Ianto justified not being jealous of the first five people and the ending is so sweet. :)

I told you! *shoves you* Didn't I?
Didn't I tell you I would read your Torchwood fics and LOVE them even if I hadn't seen the show?
Okay, well, I saw the video and the first episode, but I think we can safely say I don't really know this show yet.
I love this. When I've seen more of the show I know I'll love it more. For right now, with as little as I've seen, your Jack/Ianto is wonderful and warms and breaks my poor heart.
*snerk* The Doctor with insane eyes, I love that. XD

♥ You are so wonderful, you know that? Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it.

(Haha, that bit about the Doctor - it's how I've always thought of it. He always looks slightly unhinged! I love it.)

Lovely, especially the moment when Ianto confronts the Doctor and later when he accepts Jack's promise.
