Notes: Thanks to zortified and rexluscus for beta (and alpha!) help, and cupidsbow for listening to the story the first time around.

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

Summary: An ordinary end to an ordinary day. Except this is Torchwood, where ends tend not to be ordinary.

Read on the AO3.

Oh, now that's just gorgeous.

I think you write gesture really well; the attention to physical space is noticeable but not overbearing at the beginning, and then, of course, by the end the descriptions of when/how/whether people touch are wrenching. I'm only barely keeping myself from diagramming the entire thing.

Thank you!

Thanks for the awesome feedback :) I worry about being repetitive and slowing down pacing too much with gesture, so yay! it worked!
