Warnings: spoilers for "Exit Wounds", obviously, but other than that... nope.
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh dear, one more...  I am sure there are many good post-Exit-Wound fics out there, and I simply don't know them seeing as I try to avoid them. I think they are just too sad, too depressive. This one isn't a bunch full of laughter (and how could it be?), too, but it is excellently written, very delicate. We meet a Jack who is traumatised from being buried alive for about two millenia and a gentle, caring Ianto and the two of them are just so attuned to one another, so sweet, so dependent on one another - which makes you feel all fluffy until you remember that their time together is limited and Jack is bound to be alone again all too soon... and we get a small glimpse of that future, one without Ianto, although it isn't as lonely as we and Jack might have feared...

Warnings: Swearing and violence (and sarcasm)
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Alright, I'll admit it: what initially prompted me to give this story a go, was the prospect of a hurt Ianto. Yep, give me angst and hurt and then a nice dose of comfort and romance and I'm happy.
So, here we get Ianto beaten to a pulp, the questions who did it and why, the fact that Ianto is thoroughly pissed off with Jack, Jack desperately trying to win back Ianto's love and trust - and all of this seen through the eyes of non other but : the Master (aka "least likely person aboard")!!! Which might pose a problem for some readers, as he sort of is the central character of this piece. And he is glorious: snarky and sarcastic and mean, it's a true pleasure to witness him commenting his way through the story - while trying to remain aloof in his megalomaniac Time Lord superiority and not to become affected by all the emotions and caring and love aound him... TheLadyHel is a very talented writer and does a  wonderful job with depicting her characters (I love her Doctor, all powerful and superior alien!)- go for it!

Excerpt:

Theta, in a dressing gown and boxers, pokes the lump with his foot, tentatively.

“Well?” The Master glowers from the work surface on the other side of the room. “What is it?”

The Doctor sighs, taking out the sonic screwdriver, “‘It’ is a human. You know. Live on earth, two arms, only one heart. You kill them a lot.”

The Master smiles, fondly, “Oh yes!” He pauses, “Can we kill it? It did spill my drink you know.”
