Comment or Excerpt from fic: YAY! MCLACHLAND WROTE ANOTHER FIC! *SQUEAL* I'm always speechless and in awe whenever I read one of R.C.'s fics! *starry-eyed* Don't think I can explain all that much about this fic without sounding like an idiot, but... Post-Abaddon and Jack's died, permanently, and Ianto isn't yet willing to let him go. *looks at her explanation and nods* That's the best I can do. It's a lot more exciting than my explanation, so read the fic! ^^
~*~*~*~*~
"No one is supposed to live forever. Goes against the rules. But, sometimes, things… happen... And... everything's a mess -- the kind of mess that burying a lover's coat won't fix..."
"Who are you?" Ianto whispers, numb... "How do you know? ... How could you know? Jack was --"
"Jack is... our eternal paradox. Your Captain Jack upset the biggest balance of all... creating an in-between where there ought to not be one... The immortal mortal has been recalled... His contract, written in permanent ink... Can never be up. And that creates problems."
Ianto opens his eyes and stares... "Then fix it."
"We cannot... We cannot alter it, nor... have him do it. The Divine and the Mortal do not have contact... And yet, here we are. Tell me, how much do you love your captain, Mr. Jones?... How far are you willing to go for him?... Would you bring him back here? Do you love him enough for that? Enough to follow him through fire, frost and frond? Enough to follow him beyond? Would you fight through brimstone and corruption? Would you deny yourself paradise if only for the chance to touch his fingertips one last time?"
Tears, hot and traitorous, spill over Ianto's cheeks, over Gavril's thumb, and Ianto nods. "If you're asking if I would follow Jack into death… then yes. Yes."
