set after Exit Wounds and before Children of Earth (Or, if you're me and your head is still buried in the sand, in the magical world where CoE never existed and unicorns roam freely and MST3k was never canceled.)
Okay, now I will give you an appropriate use of "OMG IANTO AND GWEN!" XD Because how much do I love their little faces here? Sitting and laughing together in Jack's room, bonding in the library, and sharing a bed! (I have a huge thing about Gwen and Ianto platonically sharing a bed.)
Um, but the rest of the story was also awesome. I love the idea of Cardiff being loyal to the crown even when London wasn't, of Jack being close with the royal family. Ianto and Gwen's reactions to everything were precious and spot on, and Jack's reactions to them warmed my heart. I like that Jack realizes that this is his family, because it's something that I've long held to be true after "Exit Wounds." All three of them are loyal to Torchwood, yes, but their loyalty to each other goes beyond that.

Excellent all around. Thank you for sharing it :)
