Fic: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto)

Title: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Author: Hope ([personal profile] hope [livejournal.com profile] angstslashhope)
Fandom: Torchwood
Wordcount: ~11,000
Genre: curtainfic, AU, angst
Rating: R
Characters(s): Jack/Ianto, Gwen
Warnings: Angst, but with a happy ending(!)
Notes: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] zortified and [livejournal.com profile] rexluscus for beta (and alpha!) help, and [livejournal.com profile] 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!
