Fallout Commentary  
After writing Fallout I realized that it isn't really "fix-it fic." Ianto's still dead and so is Steven. The new characters, although genetically them, are actually individuals in their own right.

So what was it? "How-the-hell-to-get-gareth-back-into-the show" fic?

And yes, there's probably going to be some more of it. Damn bunnies!

I see your point, but it was sort of a fix it. Like they can get to unfinished business, if that makes sense. But it is incredibly bittersweet I would say, which is no bad thing. I hope you write more. Did you never post this to the comms? I have no idea how I ended up finding it, but glad I did, it was sweet.

Can I ask the bunnies to get Ifan to shave the beard off? The long hair I can live with, although I don't like ponytails on men, but beard as well, no, he sounds like an aging rocker. Anyhow that's just my needs there, still a personal assistant working for Her Majesty will look smart no doubt.

Just finished reading Fallout and absolutely loved it. You're right it isn't a fix-it fic, but it is a make-it better fic :)

Thanks! And now I have three AU's going at the same time. I spend a lot of time on Torchwood these days!

Why not, if it keeps you happy? Although I don't know how you do it? I have enough problems keeping one story straight in my head :) LOL!

Well, as much as it's not Ianto, Ifan still has a bit of him in him. And honestly? I find what you wrote to be far more interesting; on the one hand you have the physical representation of Ianto in the form of Ifan, but you also have someone new and different. Even if he eventually gets Ianto's memories, he'll also have Ifan's and it makes him a more complex character. Further, and this just might be my taste for angst, it forces Jack to actually deal with Ianto's death and what Ianto meant to him, especially if he chooses to pursue a relationship with Ifan.

Oh yes. Jack's going to go through hell on this one...

I wrote it with the following provisos: (1)I would start from the end of (the series that shan't be named), accepting what had happened; (2)it had to follow DW/TW canon as much as possible. From there on, I crafted what I had gotten from my dreams into the story.

well that works nicely. I mean, as much as I hate, hate, hate certain aspects of COE, it's also kind of fun to see if one can play with it and still get what one wants. And wow, that is suitably vague?
