Sorry I've been taking ages at replying to comments; was sick this week and haven't had much energy.
I'm not British, but I have the tea-drinking down to a fine art.
That sums me up, too. But yeah, I appreciate Ianto appreciating coffee, too. Besides, I bet his tea is marvellous, too. We just don't get the chance to find that out because the others at Torchwood are such coffee addicts. (I felt personally offended when one fanfic suggested he might use teabags.)
I occasionally enjoy a really good latte, though, but it has to be based on exceptionally fine coffee, so I don't do it a lot. The sort of bitter stomach-scorching trash that my countrymen call coffee is nothing I want to touch, but there are some better-quality places that actually make it well. Still, my tastebuds and body appreciate tea much better. But occasionally good coffee will provide the kind of caffeine kick that I need, and then I try to pretend it's made by Ianto. <3
I haven't yet watched S3, though I'm aware of that spoiler - a good thing, too, because I'm going to be heartbroken enough even when being able to prepare for it beforehand. I'm guessing the fandom implosion would have been a painful event to be around for, so maybe it's good I didn't experience it in real-time, but all the stuff beforehand would have been interesting. Well, it's interesting now, too. When I get my thoughts together, I will be posting about it all. I've read quite a lot of fic by now, but if you have any particular favorites, feel free to rec, as I'm sure there's plenty of good stuff I haven't read yet. I've basically just searched through a few extensive rec posts and then read more by the authors I liked, but there's so much stuff it's hard to know how much of the good stuff I've found. But yes, seems like the writers have written pretty much everything. :-D
re: Bill icon, thanks for the offer, I'll have to think about what kind of icon I might like!
