Hmm, I guess the impression I got was that Jack knew exactly what was wrong with Ianto and blamed himself and that's why he was keeping Ianto at arm's length at first. " "Jack, I don't feel well." A look of anguish came over Jack's face. " He seems to very pre-occupied in this story with Ianto being mortal...the undiscovered country paragraph made me cry all over again.
However, later, he started taking the bugs out first as I recall before Gwen took over...and I loved that Gwen did do that, removing every single bug from Ianto. Gwen and Ianto and their feelings with each other wasn't explored enough especially when we found out that Ianto had still kept Gwen at a distance...not telling her about his sister or anything. So, I liked all the Gwen/Ianto moments in this book, like his complaining about Jack to her or her covering him with her jacket and " They lay in silence then...holding on to each other like frightened children in a storm."
I was disappointed that Jack turned Ianto down after his nightmare but I liked how in Jack's nightmare, he specifies "his" bed which would be the bunker, but when he wakes up, it's "the" bed which means he's at Ianto's. Of course, I acknowledge that points should be taken away for having naked Gwen in dream...except the Jack we met in DW would be imagining everyone naked with no remorse. Whereas this Jack knows it was wrong, that's why he doesn't want to talk about it.
"Ianto could get you looking clean and presentable in ten minutes flat. Do you really want me to turn him loose?" Love this and Jack and Ianto interrogating together, plus, X-Files reference AND pun, yes! "And men were useless at the routine, day-to-day domestic stuff. Unless they were Ianto." hehe "Making coffee is an art. Trust me on this." "How hard can it be?" ""no, Jack, really, it would be like letting a chimpanzee loose with Van Gogh's paint box." hehe
The only thing that really grated on me was use of "buddy". I liked Jack being all worried over him and everything, but "But I really need your help, Buddy" (shudders)
Also, after Ianto healed up...a whole new form of coat kink " He was wearing a rather smart Burberry overcoat over a new suit, which hid the heavy bandages Jack knew were wrapped around his chest. A lot of the damage had been undone, but there were still sores. There would probably be scars. But he did look good in that coat."
