What a number of fabulous compliments, thank you. And apologies for the late response, I don't know how we missed this! But seriously, thank you. It's been fascinating to see the wide spectrum of responses to the Doctor in this fic -- some of them think he's terrible and bastardly to do this in the non-graceful way in which he does it, which okay, yeah, maybe he could have been smoother. But it is so great to hear you say:

It is a terrific gift that the Doctor gives to the Face of Boe and to Ianto, by having Ianto present to Jack the item. It both shows how time has moved on, but also gives the Face of Boe the chance to re-learn bits of his own past.

because I'm all like, yes, yes, yes.

So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
