Lovely characterisation in the role flip. Really nice.

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.

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.

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...

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

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

great story, you got them spot on as well

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

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!

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.

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...)
