This is just lovely. My denial is still firmly in hold so a fix it is always a treat, and this is a perfect one. Gosh I could never not open that letter! I love the idea of a syllabub planet.

[hope]

*beams* Thank you! It was unexpectedly great to write this kind of fixit, I'm glad you enjoyed reading it too :D

Very timey-wimey. My brain hurts but in a good way.

[hope]

Hee, yay :D Thanks!

Thank you! Glad you liked it :)

At mtgat said, very time-wimey, wibbley-wobbley, but in a good way. That was awesome, and such a great way for the two of them to reunite.

If only the new writers could come up with something this awesome, and bring Ianto back!

Loved this, so much.

[hope]

*beams* Yeah, that would be nice...

Cheers :)

This made me very happy. Great bit of alien tech, and I love it that Ianto resets every day with a hard-on.

Thanks for sharing.

[hope]

:D Yay! Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I've loved everything for the 12 days, but maybe this most of all; the sensory and emotional tone in the first three sections -- in particular, the evocation of evanescence and fragility -- is some of the best writing I've seen from you. (Which is saying a LOT, because I admire everything you write.) Without that, the timey-wimey part that follows would be amusing and fun and sexy but it wouldn't have the pathos and resonance that it does.

I love that Ianto pinches the envelope and makes sure that Jack still has it with the new coat -- but doesn't read it himself or let Jack read it. I love that the letter's written on psychic paper. I love the part of the archives where Ianto's stuck, and cliché or not, it's a great premise for a paradox. And I especially love the Doctor's voice and how bloody exasperating he is even when he's playing Doctor ex machina.

You and cupidsbow are so win, in all of this. Thank you.

[hope]

Wow, thank you so much! I had worried that the first bits were too slow and/or purple with the lack of dialogue, but yay - I'm glad all the parts built up together like I wanted them to. It was very satisfying to get this idfic premise, and all the little iddish instances in it, and combine them all into something that worked on more than just a button-pressing level.

Thanks for playing along with us :D It was a very fun 12 days!

[hope]

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you liked it :)

Love the timey-wimeyness of this. I'm not a TW fan, but even I like time travel fix-its for Jack and Ianto.

[hope]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I love timey-wimey (obv) :D

[matildabj.livejournal.com]

Oh. Timey-wimey, yes, just lovely. I'm so sad the 12 days are over, it's been fantastic. Thank you!

[hope]

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you've enjoyed it :D
