Disclaimer: If I owned anything in this, I'd be a rich rich rich bitch. However, I am not a rich rich rich bitch so you may all, therefore, assume I own nothing. Which I don't. It all belongs RTD and the BBC, in case any of you didn't know. Now pass the retcon ...


Summary: Started as a PWP, but since it's me (sorry folks!) and I really can't do things by halves, it grew and grew and grew (and not in an innuendous sort of way). Doctor Smith owns a posh Cardiff hotel, and the respectable Sixth Earl of Boeshane is coming to stay - and he brings with him some very specific demands.

The story follows Ianto from being born, meeting Toshiko and them running away together to the city, right up until Ianto is taken to work in the Doctor's hotel as a 'service' butler for - you guessed it - Jack.

Everyone's fave OTP ensues. BOO YA!

FIN









Finally found a much better font for Jack's handwriting - still got that old fashioned, Harkness-y feel, but neat enought to reasily read. I've gone back and re-made the previous letters with this font, too. That's what we call "continuation", children.

you are so good to us Miss, and we children love you for it.
but we are also impatient MOAR NOW

Awww! Jack's buying Ianto little presents! And probably not-so-little presents. lol

As much as I hate to see them apart, this separation may be a good thing for Jack and Ianto. It seems like they are actually talking more in the letters.

You already know I love this but I'm going to say it again...

I love this verse!!!
Can't wait for the next part, I had no probelm reading Jack's letters before but I like the new font too :)

[esporamor.livejournal.com]

Oh it was lovely, it really hurts to see them apart but well it may be for the better.

I like how much Ianto wants to learn about everything, it wouldn't be Ianto otherwise.

[griza.livejournal.com]

Your children loves you*mwah* I love this but I want them to be together again. They seem so lonely:(

[lipi5-pilivh.livejournal.com]

oooooooooh jack and ianto miss each other so much! i wish they were already together again :(

the "letters" format is so much fun :D

[wit-worry-what.livejournal.com]

LOVE IT!

[candi-apple-red.livejournal.com]

I love you for these. I'm off to bed with a smile. :)

Have felt something strange about Ianto but didn't realize until now that its the fact he doesn't know everything. Yet. When that happens, Jack won't know what hit him.

"that old fashioned, Harkness-y feel"

Sounds like something anyone could endorse. But tell me, what's it like with Lisa and Ianto at home? Having are hard time imagining what that "meant to be" relationship is like. Maybe you'll show us some.

[me-eat-drums.livejournal.com]

Yey! You do such a brilliant job on these...fantastic!

Looking forward to more, are always.

Humble minion, out.

[jadis-88.livejournal.com]

Great update. I love that Ianto wants to learn everything &hearts

[magicmalcolm.livejournal.com]

I want to know everything!

Aww, of course you do pet. *Fondly pats Ianto on the head* He's so cute with his flower pressing, and hoping Tosh has a "Halloweenie" baby, and his demand for lots of birthday cake, and being scared of Janet's smile. The effect isn't even ruined by Ianto calling Saxon a wanker.

I'll appreciate the paragraphs enough for both myself and Jack. Whilst Jack will appreciate the mental imagery Ianto and his sex toy talk provided enough for...well, no, I'm appreciating that one a lot myself too. ; )

[amcpep.livejournal.com]

With a spoon. Because it hurts more. Yay for Alan Rickman references. Alan Rickman, Jack AND Ianto. I think I'm in heaven. :)

[charlotte3006.livejournal.com]

Aww, so cute :)
I confess I lol-ed at Ianto's bleeding finger ^^ Bless him!
I love the letter-style :)

[electrictoes.livejournal.com]

Absolutely wonderful!

Ianto is just too adorable.

[brigs-syzygy.livejournal.com]

[holly02.livejournal.com]

AWW I ADORE THESE LETTERS SOOOOO MUCH!!
Seriously, the amount of work that goes into them...I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE THEM! :D

[silvercat63.livejournal.com]

OK, the letters are freakin' awesome! (And do I sound like a rapid fangirl or what?!) That is an absolutely brilliant idea and that you actually find stationary is just beyond words. I don't know how you do it! You can post more now....

Seriously, more. NOW.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

The new font is much easier to read! I was almost going to default to the text but then I'd miss all the lovely art work!

[tiggerbrasilf.livejournal.com]

Aww these are lovely (:

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

love the letters, wonderful update

[artist4life925.livejournal.com]

Yay! Another update! I saw it last night and yearned to read it, but I was exhausted and had to wait until today after work!

I thought I was having a better time at reading the font! Hurrah!

[jacksgirleen.livejournal.com]

Woah, I have spent most of yesterday and today reading this story through and it's amazing... such a different concept. I love it!

[redleila.livejournal.com]

Love your new letters. Like the idea with the sextoys and can so totally imagine Jack and Ianto (someday) in steemy hot pools...
Funny thing, just googled yesterday for some geeky shirts and found the caffeine molecule one. And I am really up to buy one. LOL

The font is much easier to read, but I loved the old one too. Can you please tell me the name of the old font?

[a-silver-story.livejournal.com]

The old font is called "Dear Joe Four", but unfortunately the only free version of it is a trial one that will make you tear your hair out (another reason why I changed the font). It is a wonderful font though, and certainly one of my favourites, just a little tiresome to read in huge quantities, I found.

[redleila.livejournal.com]

Thank you, yes it was a little bit difficult to read but it is a great font.
