OK ... wow ... this is me searching for words to describe how awesome this is. Took my breath away with the first word and gave it back to me just shortly before the end. THIS story brings out in every word what an amazing writer you are. The powerful images, like the one in the beginning when Ianto died and is brought back to life again. The effortless with which you seem to "get" characters so easily that one can practically see them acting like you have them, and hear them talking the lines you give them. Like Ianto trying to cope with humor first and then being close to panic. The girls fussing all over him, Owen being the bright observer and the good friend he seems to become in s2, and above all: Jack, with all his suppressed emotions while being scared shitless, which shows in his behavior that could be called almost rude. Ok, sorry I'm rambling ... lol
“Noted, sir. Next time there’s an alien attacking, I shall huddle in a corner. Make you proud.”
...
“I believe dying should get me more respect than this.” How much more perfect can your Ianto-lines get? :-D
“You would have… you do the same for me.”
“I can afford it,” Jack said quietly. That part almost killed me ...
