(The Hub was quiet, and Ianto thought that the sound of water running through it sounded like tears.)

Personal notes:
Not the most technically difficult of this series to write, but really helped refine our process. Also, for me, this one often felt the most intrusive on the characters and frequently made me crazy uncomfortable, especially in the editing process which, unrelatedly, also contained an email that said "FIX THE SEAFOOD" and is still making me snicker.

No no, it's ok.
I just - I have no words for how horrible that sounds.

If you haven't read our fic yet (assuming you've been reading the series), I should just warn you that it's not graphic physically but is emotionally pretty draining on the subject.

I just started reading - and it's brilliant, of course - but I do thank you for the warning.

Thank you. On the plus side, we've just had our story meeting for the next piece, which is going to be delightful.
