wow. that just blew me away. completly awesome. so tragically sad. wow. i liek the part at the end, when owen dies. wasnt really expecting him to jsut die like that. and i knew jack had to come back at the end. wasnt expecting him to give him the wrist strap. the ending feels so...unfinshed. but i think thats what you were trying for? or i felt you were trying for that anyway. it's so incomplete yet final, like death. like the original TW3 and all their death's. meh..dunno how to explain it, but its aweseome

I know this is really long after you have written this fic, but I found it randomly today. I've been having an awful day, and this fic made it better. It was heart-breaking and so sweet and just the sort of thing that you need to make you believe in good things. Congrats on such a great story, and thank you.

You can add another person to the 'Crying at the End of this Fic' list.

This was absolutely perfect, such a wonderful character study.

Thank you.

This is just wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes and I love it!

Oh bloody hell! You've actually made me cry. I seem to be gravitating towards gentler fics this weekend, and stumbled across one of the other fics. This makes sense and breaks my heart at the same time. Damn.

Okay, wow, I'm crying. This is so beautiful and heartbreaking. I love the way Owen slowly comes to understand Jack, and the way it's not hard at all for him to choose where to spend those last moments. And poor Tosh, having to keep that secret all her life. You show her strength very well in this.

Okay, I need to go read about bunnies or something now to counteract the heartbreak.

Aargh, I have such a lump in my throat, and my eyes are all stinging :'( that was absolutely gorgeous, wonderfully characterised. I have not the adjectives, v. sorry! Just very very lovely. Thank you for sharing :)

Here from a rec by Kita.

That was just gorgeous. You caught the characters so well from Jack's selfishness and childishness to Tosh's generous spirit to Owen's petty jealousies and his fears of appearing too caring to outsiders.

I love that Owen makes things right at the end and it's a genuine act of love, not just for Tosh but, in a way, for Ianto and Gwen also.

This is an absolutely beautiful story. You did a really wonderful job with all the characters, but especially Owen. I wish I had more detailed things to say but I'm still just reeling! Loved this, hope you write more in the future.

That was lovely.

Well, I'd be happy to offer critique, but there isn't anything I could possibly say to make this better.

This is a beautiful well crafted story. Your Owen is absolutely canon, every chapter, every thought, every word.

Your Jack, bastard that he is, and your Tosh, generous to the end, are also just amazingly spot on, but Owen. He's just perfect.

This made me smile *and* cry. That's the best kind of story. Thank you so much.

You have successfully given me a headache by making me cry so much I couldn't breathe properly and cutting off circulation to my brain. I think that this really says just how brilliant this fic was. That end is beyond amazing. I love the idea of both Jack's and Owen's ways of dealing with their grief. I really hate Owen being dead, the Torchwood writers should bring him back and make him get together with Tosh.

Wow. I am nearly crying. Very sad, very well written.
Absolutely loved it.

This is absolutely fantastic - the same mix of wistfulness and moebius-band-plotting as in canon , with the most amazing reading of Owen's character. terrific fic!

Wow, that was incredible... had me in tears at the end. ;_; Great characterization, and a tragic yet likely look at what will happen to Owen. *sniff* Beautifully done.
