I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Comments

First off, I have been waiting for this eagerly for a number of weeks- and let me tell you, I am in no way disappointed.

Ash, I think I told you awhile back that they definitely need you on the Torchwood writer’s team. Perhaps the first time it was because I know you, of all people, would not kill my favourite character- or if you did, you‘d find a very logical way to bring him back. :tehe:

But I’m saying it again now because of the sublime way you have constructed the beginning of this fic. It’s one thing to make an idea sound amazing in the planning stages, but you have presented the final product even better then I could have imagined. Maybe it’s because I’m a big sook at heart, but I honestly had to blink tears out of my eyes at a couple of parts- especially at the line: "…Hands that shouldn’t be as cold and lifeless as he felt earlier that day. His pale body even paler now. His little imperfections showing against that red tarp…”. The whole section concerning the hands was probably my favourite part of this chapter because of the way it contrasted Jack’s memories of Ianto. I must admit, even though the following few lines caused me to choke up a little, I did smile at: ”Hands that could do some very nice things when the lights went out.”. It was a truly beautiful little piece of prose…

I can’t wait to see what happens in further chapters- even if I did get a little insight from you on how the story will pan out. I don’t frequent Mibba as often these days, and I’ll be damned if I can remember the last time I clicked the “subscribe” button and checked my inbox for updates. But you know what? I think for this story, I can make a change.

Oh, and P.S- amazing banner, as always.

I love it.

You have Jack's character just right, and it's so amazing to actually look into his thoughts for once. but at the same time there is enough left out, y'know?

Like I said, I'm crap at reviewing, or even writing longer comments, so all I can really say is that you got this completely right. It feels like this is what Jack really would do. He'd go through all the bad things he's done in his head, and mourn and then look back atthe good parts, and blame himself.

I think there could have been a slight mention of Gwen, since she's still alive and stuff, but other than that I think it was really great.

I adore the title too, by the way. Gorgeous song, and it really fits with the story, at the same time as it's slightly ironic since Jack can't follow Ianto.

Thanks so much. And this was a good comment. =]

I wrote this a few days after it aired so it was pretty raw.
and thanks, the song kept coming on shuffle and it just really works for it I think. I bring it into play more later.

I love this, you know I do :)
You're awesome and so is this.
The story page is really pretty! Who made it?
Good start, if you need any help... well you know what to do :) x

I love it.
