big life; small space

There are a lot of things I like about this. I think it comes together very nicely, and I found your portrayal of Ianto's submission (with the wanting it, but not knowing what to do and self-sabotaging when it gets too real) very interesting and, to me, at least, realistic. I like how you're able to write kink without over-explaining or playing it safe. I don't know how much that makes sense, but that's what I've been trying to learn to do.
