I like the element of hope in this one. I'm annoyingly optimistic about the human condition, I suppose, and my heart just got dragged through the wringer with the pink tie fic. Both of the stories address hope to a certain extent, in my opinion: Ianto's that Jack will remember him for a time and manage to move on in the pink tie story; Jack's that Ianto will stick by him for a time in this one. I like this one more b/c nobody dies. :) Yes, I am a wimp.
Once again, beautiful economy of language and some lovely imagery. I especially liked the whisper swimming between them.
