Well, this is three years from last we saw them, so a lot has changed. I don't want to say more about Jack's tonal quality until you get to the end of the fic.
The thing with the suits! The thing with the suits started because I freaked out about what people should wear and Kali said they should just wear normal clothes because people mostly do in the future on DW, and I was like well that's not very satisfying, now is it and then through some random silliness we decided that the suits should be priests vestments and that civilians should get to wear comfier, more foreign seeming, robe-like clothes. And we thought that was just a delightful little trick to pull on Ianto.
And I'm not sure if the suits are his influence on Boe after all this time so much as a memory of uniforms and orderliness and lots of various things from the 20th century, or, for that matter, from how the Doctor dresses. But Ianto's a piece of it, certainly.
Btw, it's so fun chatting with you as you go through this piece. Thanks!
