Sorry for the late and long feedback! How I never clicked crue=cyus is beyond me, I knew that you wrote but had never really found the fics.
Ouch.
The desperation to get away and do better but still be ruled by where you came from is palpable, like I can almost taste it on my tongue. The heavy description took me about two paragraphs to settle into the flow and rhythm of the story, however it is fantastic imagery. The fic really does helps in reconciling COE Ianto; the council estate, his passion in saving Lisa, insecurity in defining him and Jack and his lying about his Dad's job. It seems to depict someone who is desperately trying to break from his social background and yet can not always escape it, something your fic shows brilliantly.
