Well, I'm prone to missing the best stuff for days and weeks on end, but I'm glad I finally caught up to this.

Beautifully done; I love the unusual pairings you have going here, and that little bit of bittersweet that seems to follow Ianto around with him, sans melodrama. Really, the whole thing is such a subtle construction of characterization, each part capturing a slightly different facet of him and winding up in one gorgeous whole.

Fabulous.

I actually told my puppy, "That's genius!" when I read this line. "Fine," Ianto said, fighting laughter as he firmly took the lead position, "but you're Ginger."

So well done.
