THIS!mOh my god- okay, okay this was REAL, so real, because I've felt this before, the wanting to be with people but also needing space, and you painted it so well, and never not once was i not covinced of Jack's love for Ianto, and that last line- holy fuck, I love everything ive read in this collection so far, but this is undoubtedly my favorite so far. i love this, its wonderful.

Oh gosh that's so cute... Well done!

It's amazing, really. I love how you turned that. Love your work, too.

You do realise, that Ianto was only 15 to 16 years old in 1999, and I sincerely doubt he was working for T1 at that time...Just sayin'. Good story though. :}

That was so adorable! I'm squeeing!

Yeah, that was fun to read. I love the 'drop the barriers' line.

Gwen got a clue on real life from the other view.

Very nice! Amusing and in character. I really loved the other team members reactions. Of course Ianto was perfect, looking out for (even) Gwen while the others laughed. Glad the muses ambushed you! :)

Oh that was fantastic, what a joy to read... so so glad that you're back again...

So glad you've come back to this! You know I'm your biggest fangirl and this did not disappoint. I'm still in awe of how easily you slip between their points of view, for one. I also loved that you didn't make it an easy fix, this difficulty between them. It says a lot about Jack that he would work so hard to make it work and I love that Jack. And I love this Ianto, who is strong enough to know what he wants and needs, strong enough to leave and yet still strong enough to come back. Because your Jack and Ianto make so much sense and are so beautiful together. Also, perfect last line. Lovely job, thank you! Gina :)

Having read all the chapters in here I can only say wow! I really like the way you are portraying the TW characters and what goes on in their respective heads, especially Jack and Ianto, of course. Please keep up the good work! I'll be sure to keep on reading.

This is a wonderful collection of stories, and I've been thoroughly enjoying them. Well-developed characters and plot lines, convincing dialogue. I was bothered by this episode, too, and the scenario you've written here makes perfect sense. You write so beautifully, I really hope you have more stories to tell.
(This was my review. Sorry - I didn't realize I wasn't logged in before.)

Fantastic chapter, I really loved this one. My stomach was in knots from all the feels.

I absolutely love all of these drabbles. Some are just the right amount of serious, while others are so fluffy I could squeal! I would love to see a story about what led into the scene where Gwen walks in on our boys in the office. And I can't wait to find out how you resolve the 'Jack not trying to save Lisa but saved the others because of Gwen' thing. Thanks so much for writing these!

Oooooooh, you broke them up! Okay, so I've read several more and they are all gorgeous and I will review them, I promise. They are my safety net - I always come back knowing I can read a wonderful snippet before bed. This one was so sad, though, that I have to ask: how is the sequel coming? I would dearly love to read how you bring them back together! You just do such an amazing job of exploring their emotional intimacy, I'm envious. I'm mostly a plot and dialogue writer myself, but you do inner monologue and description so, so well, it's always gorgeous. So I hope there is more someday! Thank you for all these lovely bits of fluff and stuff!
