It’s a wonderful scene and seeing it like was beautiful. Which is why I watched it and went straight to LJ to post it! <3
I’ve never cried over a fictional character as much as I did over Ianto; it just broke me. You and me both. No other character, ever, has been anything like the same. (I wrote fic immediately after, as a way of coping. Very short: Dear Jack. Helped a tiny bit. What helped the most was the House of the Dead radio play which finally brought closure. Still - it hurts.)
House of the dead (or any other radio play) is not very familiar to me beside their existence (except Ianto’s speech in Deadline. Blip in time <3), but I found a transcript and read it just now.
Each new death must take such toll on Jack after all this time, and I do believe Ianto meant something quite special to him. I think Ianto took him by surprise actually. Losing him must have wrecked him. I can see him wanting a last chance to see him like he did in the play.
Dear Jack: Wonderful little tale.
"If it was a weevil, please lie in the report." That does sound like something he would write!
"I kept a space empty." This made me a little teary eyed actually.

I could send it to you if you like? I've never listened to radio plays except for the Torchwood ones, and House of the Dead is outstanding in that they get John Barrowman to *act*. (He's not great on radio, bless him.)

Darn I love fanservice when it's done right.
Dear Jack: Wonderful little tale. Thank you. :)
"If it was a weevil, please lie in the report." That does sound like something he would write! I love writing Ianto!
"I kept a space empty." This made me a little teary eyed actually. And it's all destroyed. *Sniff*
(Sorry for the late reply) I don’t want to be a bother, but thanks for the offer. I did read the transcript and I found part of it in a video on youtube. :)
