Dude, this is really, really wonderful. How long did it take you to write this? I loved it. Loved everything about it. It's raw and it's strong and I adore the way you explore the worst, darkest and most real sides of Torchwood. Because if Torchwood existed, it would obviously be far from crack and porn, and this would be more like it.
I particularly liked how this painted a Ianto who's maybe a bit more twisted than most people would like, but also just as brilliant as I imagine him to be. Brilliant in that completely unexpected sort of way. It's a coping mechanism that suits him, not only a way of dealing with what he does every day, but also with his own destiny. Ianto's cynical guy, but it doesn't mean he can't find manners to sooth this... absolute fact of his life, or something like that.
I don't explain myself very well. Haha xD Sorry.
Also, this: He called it I, playing on the pronunciation a little. It's on the title page. I, by Ianto Jones, and it's everything he could never be.
Holy fuck, Crue. It just became one of my favorite sentences of all fanfiction time.
