Comment or Excerpt from fic: Very nice fic about Ianto coming to terms on how his relationship with Jack changes to something more permanent. (Loved the scene where Ianto invites Jack to his flat and then he's freaking out lol) Favorite quote from the fic:
~_~_~_~_~
"It had been building, Ianto realized, it had been slowly building layer upon layer like a coral reef. You can’t sleep with someone for months, see them every day, talk to them, hear all their stories, understand their jokes–and not have it reach this point. We’re not just friends who fuck anymore, he thought, and wondered if that was all they’d ever been."

Comment or Excerpt from fic: See the title's name? Well now you know what to expect. Just so you know, I cried when I finished reading this fic. :( It was so so good but so heartbreaking. :( Everybody needs to read this one and leave a comment to the author saying how great it is, seriously. :D
~_~_~_
I lie in Jack's arms, unmoving. His bed is bowed under the weight of our bodies, and his face is nuzzled into my hair. My scalp is damp from his tears. I hadn't expected that. I know that I care more for him than he does for me, and I accepted that a while ago.

I hadn't expected him to cry because of what happened. That last mission . . . well, it got dangerous. For me, at least.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Aah, it's one of those fics based on one of those scenes... I have to admit that everytime I see one of those scenes, even I feel like cringing and going, "Can Jack be anymore OBLIVIOUS?! *rolls eyes*" *tsktsk* Sometimes, I think he goes too far, unconscious as it may be, and inadvertently hurts Ianto. Why does Jack give Gwen so much more leeway than any other character, anyway?

Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh JEEZ! Just how is it that I tend to always find all the dark fics... U____U Kinda ironic with me being a romantic and loving happy endings, no matter how impossible they may be at times... *LOL*

Anyway, this is a wonderfully dark fic extended from 2x05 "Adam" and based on the idea of Ianto remembering his RetConned memories of killing those girls...

WORD OF CAUTION... DO read the warnings because it is a VERY DARK fic...

~*~*~*~*~

EXCERPT:

It had been a week since the nightmares had begun.

A week of far too little sleep, and what little sleep he did get could not be called restful.

A week of suppressed rage.

A week of fear.

A week of seeing a killer in the mirror.

He’d tried to convince himself that the nightmares were just night terrors brought on by a stressful, and occasionally horrific, job.

...

But they were far too real.
