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.

This was just lovely! XD For a second, when it went up on my flist, I almost balked (mainly because I was thinking of CoE when mentioned with angst lately...) but I went ahead and read it (mainly because I do like reading your stories) and I'm glad I did! :-)
I loved how you gave a rather domestic feeling to Ianto and Jack's home life, especially the unpacking the boxes (loved the rugby reference. XD). Especially how you showed the changes in both Ianto and Gwen after Jack left is amazingly good. This was lovely and in character and I really enjoyed reading it! XD
