Oh that was simply wonderful. It was funny, romantic, plotty and so precisely in character. I especially liked Ianto's reaction to the FoB. I think most of us are pretty horrified at the thought of Jack ending up as a head in a jar, I loved how you managed to get some humour in there as well, he didn't lose his typical snark.
Jack's histrionics were so well drawn that I could picture them, I really like your OC's, especially Maeve. I see her as like Sandi Toksvig for some reason, she even has her voice in my head.
While I'm drawing comparisons, because you mentioned Leonard Cohen, during the sex scene, which was beautiful and yay for avoiding all the smut cliches, I suddenly thought of a verse of Hallelujah, one of the dirtier ones. It was that sense of melancholy and loss that is in that song, which somehow seemed resonant in that scene.
Anyhow I'll stop with the rambling and overthinking now....just thankyou.
