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

Thank you for the lovely feedback! My timing isn't so good, I know, angst is pretty much the last thing we need now! Was determined to finish it, though :)

But, yay. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks :D
