Comment or Excerpt from fic: WOOOOOOOOOW!! I haven't read anything like this before either... *___________________*

Something happened to Ianto that made Jack and Ianto go their separate ways. Now, after 30 years, they meet again for the first time...

This is such a bittersweet fic. It's not like it lacks feeling, but doesn't have any drawn-out emotions of resentment or the passionate embrace after the long return or the overwhelming lust... just very matter-of-fact "what's done, is done" and just accepting things the way they are and moving on...

EXCERPT:

Thirty years ago Captain Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones had said goodbye. It had been neither a bitter parting nor a tearful farewell. They had been together for so long it seemed inevitable that they would drift apart one day. Instead of falling into each other’s arms, they had shaken hands and bid each other goodbye.

There had been no promises to return, no whispered words of how hard it was to leave. Both knew words would have been unnecessary and would have ruined their last memories of each other.

Now, after leaving what had once been the tourist office covering the secret entrance to Torchwood Three, and heading under the low bridge, Jack saw a familiar figure approaching him.
