Reviews For Lilies of the Field

| Beautiful. I love how you managed to switch from lighthearted and easy-going to sad and moving. It's a rare thing to find something like this done so well in a story this short. Thanks a lot. :) | |||

| Here also from remixthedrabble> beautiful, beautiful story. Very sad. Very right. Author's Response: Turned out sadder than I thought, but I think there's a bright spot at the end, because we know that he'll meet Rose soon. As ever, it's always a higher compliment coming from you, since I love your work so much. | |||

| This was lovely! :D I especially liked the part about how the hair flew away like dandelions. It was a perfect image. Author's Response: Thank you! This fic was inspired by the biblical quotation in the author's notes, and I wanted to incorporate the flower imagery. | |||

| came here from remixthedrabble. beautifully written - i love the light hearted beginning (what a shame we won't get to hear the thatcher story) and the idea that ianto picks the right clothes without knowing what they are. jack's reactions, as seen through him, are perfect too. really tugging at the heartstrings stuff. Author's Response: I wish I could take credit for the Margaret Thatcher idea. There was a fic I read somewhere in which someone in Torchwood asked Jack about the most embarrassing/awful shag he'd ever had, and he said Margaret Thatcher. It was too good not to steal. Anyway, good to hear that Ianto's POV worked; this is the first time I've ever written from his perspective. | |||

| Wow! You had me tearing up there. So heartbreaking and yet wonderful. I'm glad Jack and Ianto could be there for the Doctor when he so needed them. Author's Response: I think of it as returning the favor. Nine gave Jack a second chance that he may not have deserved, and Jack is giving Nine a second chance he may not have deserved either. | |||

| Wonderful, simply wonderful. Excellent writing and good characterisation. Thank you. Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words - though, to be honest, after Children of Earth, it's too painful to read this fic still. | |||

| Lilies for reborn life - and mourning. Forget-me-nots for the things we no longer have. I don't know whether the story was sad, but it had a certain heft to it which I liked a lot. I've favorited this one. Thanks for writing it! Author's Response: In a show where one of the main characters is named Rose, one cannot escape the flower symbolism. I chose to embrace it. I'm glad the metaphor worked for you. | |||

| Wow, that was gorgeous and very sad. Thanks for that glimpse into all three characters - it felt very true. Author's Response: I can ask for nothing more than such an emotional response :) | |||

| Wow. That was really, really good - and this is coming from someone who's much more a fan of DW than TW. I could totally see it all happening. Author's Response: I'm also more of a fan of DW than TW - like many people, I watch TW because I love Jack. I'm pleased that it comes across as believable. | |||

| This was absolutely lovely. A great little one shot. I love how Ianto turns Nine into the man we know him as, and Jack is the only one who can see it. Author's Response: Thank you. I always thought Ianto and Nine had a similar temperament, which is perhaps why Jack was drawn to him in the first place. | |||
