Thank you so much! We were initially very anxious about the OFC for all the reasons you've mentioned. I think we've all seen the type of stories you mention, and it's hard. On the other hand, the kink was something we really wanted to do, and as you say, we wanted to see Jack & Ianto through someone else's eyes - someone not them, or part of the team - someone normal.

*laughs* Yay on the cringing. Picking up ppl (or being picked up) is not something I personally have any experience with (although, thankfully rm is less lame than me) and I was all like, "Dude, what do people even say?" I thought Ianto might feel the same way ;-) although of course, he is more clever about it than I would be. And yes, Jack is very good at all this, and he knows how to get the result he wants.

I have some trouble with the uncomplicated happily ever after that we see even on the show. I mean, they seem very much together, very much into each other, but it's still a complex relationship, and some of the things that happen - like the whole episode Adrift seem like they would add some interesting stuff to the mix. Glad you enjoyed so far!
