Mostly written before (and thus jossed by) Children of Earth, which makes it somewhat of an AU. Set post-S2.

lovely. I like how it starts out as a bit of fluff, and suddenly takes a harsher, angstier turn. also, nice to see that in Jack's absence, Gwen and Ianto took over TW and made it succeed. Poor Jack though, having to catch up on the last two years. Still, at least he's back and they are still alive.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. And indeed, it could have turned out much worse... Though I do love the idea of Gwen and Ianto running Torchwood ;)
