Okay, so I started reading this, and then the Barack Obama Mothership of Awesome destroyed my free time. So I got about halfway through, and then BOOM. Several days without reading. Came back to it tonight.

This is completely brilliant.

I love the premise, and the execution. Multiple Ianto characterizations, some of which were and weren't him, and Adam latching on to the boy with perfect recall? You had me worried for a good long while. I should learn to trust that you'll generally give us happy endings, but Torchwood is the sort of fandom to make a man paranoid.
