Not a strange comment at all, I appreciate it. I actually like the adjective 'cold' (or also 'disconnected' is I think one that works frequently) for this type of mood and atmosphere; I think I'll appropriate that.
Given the canon it puzzles me at times how one can be caught up in the warmth of feelings since personally the on-screen J/I interaction hardly strikes me as overly warm or romantic. Granted, there are the little gestures, those small moments, but they are amidst a clusterfuck of mess-ups. It puts me into an interesting position in a way to be writing Jack and Ianto predominantly but in ways that do not really fit the Jack/Ianto fiction stereotype, if you will (even though I'm hardly on my own in that position). I enjoy the characters, but yeah, I enjoy their edges and those jarring bits where they don't fit together easily more than the ones where they just click (which other people in turn enjoy more). Or, really, it's a lot more complicated between them than clear-cut romance.
So yeah, anyway, that's me. Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it.
