Lovely characterisation in the role flip. Really nice.

[hope]

Thank you! I can't believe this scenario isn't already a fandom cliche itself.

I liked this, and have been enjoying your "12 Days of Cliche" thus far which are very interesting :)

This scenario would have made an awesome AU episode.

[hope]

Cheers! Glad you're enjoying it.

I agree, I wish they'd play more with AU on the show.

my first thought on seeing this was "ouch" just for the mere thought of it, which I suppose says way too many things about me and less about your story :D. The story was wonderful, incredibly evocative and haunting, a blistering flip side of what might have been.

[hope]

Heh! Yeah, it made me wonder why people don't do this flipped AU scenario more often. And sobered me a bit too (as much as I *already* love Lisa), to think about how much more horrifying it suddenly was when it was Ianto's plight.

Anyway, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Very nicely done. For all that you'd think this is a fairly obvious AU, I can only remember seeing it once before (and don't ask me where). This is the first of your "12 Days of Cliche" I've read - have to go find the others now...

[hope]

Heh! I think the only place I can recall being done before is a mention in basingstoke's parallel universe story.

Thank you :) I hope you enjoy the rest of the works - there's a 12 days of cliche tag on this post that should take you to it.

This is wonderful. I love the way you paint both of them, especially Lisa's interior life. It really works.

[hope]

Thank you! I'm glad it does. I heart Lisa :)

that was amazing, first time I've read this idea and I'm convinced!

great story, you got them spot on as well

[hope]

Hee! Thank you!

This is the first fanfic I've read with a really compelling glimpse into Lisa's world. Well done and interesting.

[hope]

Thanks muchly! :D

REALLY nice work on this. I'd love to see this as a full-fledged AU take on the 'verse, but I'm guessing that's not on your plate just now. :D Great job!

[hope]

Haha! Nope, not right now. Especially when I still have another massive (more happy-making) Cyberwoman AU on my plate already!

Thank you :D

[lone-star-woman.livejournal.com]

Wow. This is lovely and heartbreaking because I like how you portrayed Ianto and Lisa's relationship. Usually, I always think of a cyberperson -- even partially converted one -- as dead inside, but I felt for Ianto who is trying to be the good patient.

[hope]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, how LOVELY.
Great characterization. Very sad and sweet. And I love your Lisa.

(Now I wish there was a sequel, AU where cyber!Ianto survives and they have their happy-angsty-hot threesome...)

[hope]

Thank you!

Hah, funny that you say that, because I'm still in the midst of writing a story where cyber!Lisa survives and they have hot threesomes. The same but different, I suppose *g*

[svollga.livejournal.com]

Oh YES! *waiting impatiently*
I love this kind of AUs, and this kind of threesome!!!
I'm actually kind of into Jack threesomes as a concept, because I think he is to much for only one person, so I gladly take anything: Jack/Ianto/Hart, Jack/Ianto/real!Jack, Jack/Ianto/Doctor, Tardis-a-trois... But Jack/Ianto/Lisa is my non-canonical favorite. And, well, they are HOT together. :)
