So I just found this fic this morning through the Children of Time Awards, and I just finished reading it. It is now almost 2AM and you made me cry with the last few chapters. Seriously, tears running down my face. All I can say is WOW. This was fantastic, and you totally deserved the win. I will definitely be reading the companion pieces soon, but at the moment I'm feeling rather emotionally drained, so not right now.
I really loved the relationship that you created between Ianto and Aaron. The way you constructed it made it plausible, and I just liked Aaron as a character. I had to go back to the children of time listing to see if it was listed as J/I there, because I felt myself getting really invested in the I/A storyline and wasn't sure how that was going to be resolved into J/I. Aaron's death was really, really sad, but at the same time it worked for the story, so I suppose I can't be too put out.
I'm rambling on, now, but my real point is that this is a fantastic story (of quite epic proportion), so thank you for sharing it with all of us random people on the internet.
Joslin :)
PS- Also, just a bit of a pet peeve, I totally don't expect you to go back and change any of this, because it's really a small thing, but I did notice that you used the word discretely whenever you meant discreetly. (Discretely=separately, discreetly=circumspectly)
