Congrats on completing Big Bang :D I am very excited to read more of your writing -- but I was wondering if you have to know alot about Torchwood to understand your story? I've never watched Torchwood or Dr. Who :(

It might give a little more resonance to some of the things happening on the Torchwood side, but I don't think it's necessary. It's written from House and Wilson's POVs, so they're finding out about a lot of the Torchwood background (especially House) at the same time as the reader.

I read both Elemental Forces and World of Weeping. I love both House and Torchwood. These were fantastic! I really enjoyed them. I think you did a great job of keeping everyone in character.

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to keep the various characters believable - the whole thing was only supposed to be a short one-shot, but it just kept growing into it's own little world.

You're welcome! You sure did. Oh, I know how that can happen!! ROTFLMAO!!! The characters really have minds of their own. I once had a story (House/Forever Knight crossover) all worked out, but when I went to write it, House decided he had other ideas. We argued. He won. I actually liked his idea better in the end! LOL!

Ooh, love this! Jack and House battling it out! God, if those 2 started hitting on me at a bar at the same time, woo, my head would spin! :) Wilson and Ianto both have that 'polished but fun' thing going on, so Jack liking him is natural. The mention of Owen made me very sad, though.

‘The words weren't accompanied by an eye roll, but House could still hear the disdain in Jones's voice.’ That is so very Ianto, isn’t it?

"I know you never wanted House to find out." Oddly, that’s the moment when I’d really be embarrassed as it’s saying House is important!

“Just because something is obvious doesn't mean it's not important."
“benefits that he had no intention of matching.” Really? Ianto’s so pretty. Looking forward to the next part!

I'm pretty sure I would enjoy having Jack and House battling over me a lot more than Wilson did (though even he was flattered in a frightened sort of way).

Heh - Ianto is definitely pretty, but he's awfully young (not that it would have stop House).

The archive is back up again, so it's easier to read the full story on the site. I hope you enjoy - and thank you for reading!

OMG, I just remembered how young Ianto is! He's just 25 and House is 50! LOL. Then again, Jack is like a zillion years older than Ianto. :)
Actually, I think I'd be frightened about both the guys fighting over me too!
Thanks, now I'll go finish reading it!
