Heeeheeheeeeee awwwwwwwwwww.

Love it! Ianto wanting to smear himself into Jack's coat and Jack wanting to suck on Ianto's thumb (for a good cause! No, really!) to Jack pacing (I bet there really are four of him!)

This was such fun. :-)

[hope]

*beams* I'm glad you liked it!! It was fun to write (and to know that I CAN write short stuff!)

[james]

And clearly it's good you didn't wait for me to beta since *now* is my first free chance to read anything. ;-)

[hope]

Haha! *this* is not the story I was wanting you to beta. The story I want you to beta is approaching 10,000 words now, and isn't finished yet. So I may still call on you *g*

[james]

Oh, sure. As long as I don't have to have it done in 24 hours. ;-)

[hope]

Well, that depends on when I finish it... ;D

Besides, I said 24 hours back when I thought it was only going to be 3000 words long and done in an evening.

[james]

Does it have elves?

[hope]

It has... um... deus ex machina? that's a bit like an elf. An elf could be a deus ex machina.

[james]

...

I just don't know you anymore.

[hope]

I promise you, one day there will be elves.

[james]

As long as.. uh. Oh, damn.

I'm going to have to write a story. I may have to call in (can I call in sick to write a Jack/Ianto story? Where elves are involved? Will you be my witness that I'm feverish and ill?)

[hope]

Yep, I can provide a letter of recommendation, recommending you have a sick day in order to write about elves. No problems.

[james]

Such a selfless act of altruism!

And now I really do have to go to work. Alas.

[hope]

I'll be willing thoughts of elves into your head from across the globe!

[james]

ACK! Demons! DEMONS IN MY HEA--- oh wait, that's you. Nevermind.

HEE! This is great. Made me smile. Still really, really enjoying the daily dose of TW.

(apologies, I've got a few of these open in tabs, you may get comment spam from me).

[hope]

Thank you! And spam away, I love comments :D

This is delightful. I love the image of Ianto wearing the glasses, and that you have ignored the Debenhams thing!

[hope]

Hee! Well, Ianto's dad could still sew stuff and work for Debenhams... :D

Cheers!

A lovely Jack-and-Ianto moment. The way you write them is so perfect, it almost hurts.

[hope]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :) :)
