I am so loving your "domestic" series. This is great and I love the descriptions of the stadium and the crowds etc. It is all very grounded and real.

Also it's nice how you have taken what is frankly out of character dialogue in CoE and made some sense out of it. Yours works much better of course, as it's Ianto being really very clear about what he wants, and actually calling Jack on the living in the past thing, and how he could make an effort, so yes, be more "couple" like, but Ianto comes from an equal, strong place here. It's his usual style, rather than some kind of insecure nonsense.
