Interesting! It never occurred to me to put him with Tosh or Gwen - I could have changed Tosh's death and ended up with something similar, and possibly even more creepy and sad because it's Tosh and her luck with love is depressing. I specialize in Owenfic, though. *g*
Sorry, I phrased that poorly - I meant Owen being paired with Tosh or Gwen - which seems to be the usual two choices. I don't read a lot of TW fic, I confess, because Jack/Ianto doesn't do anything for me, but when I skim the fic lists on the TW newsletter, I notice Owen's usually paired with either Tosh or Gwen, if anyone.
Martha, Jack, and Owen are all characters I enjoy writing. There's a lot to all of them that the shows don't really get into, and that's what fic is for.
Oh yes!!
She is absolutely correct is believing that Jack would have gone through with the implied threat had she tried. He blew a crucial sanity fuse when he saw the question on the photo. Jack is not harmless and cuddly, Jack is SCARY, and people often seem to forget that.
Oh I agree that Martha responded in the only sensible way - we saw in the TV ep that he was hell-bent on using the Glove on Owen, and damn the consequences...
Thank you so much for the in-depth comment. I love hearing what people think and what they saw in my writing, and with this fic especially because it is so geared toward finding out how people react to this particular AU.
Writing AU is always a little bit scary, I think, because one can never tell how people will take it, and it may fall very flat! But this was good - and very satisfying.
If you decide to continue this, I would definitely read it - but I understand you might not feel inclined. However, I've had people ask for sequels to fics they've really enjoyed - and found myself unable to write one, so I know how that goes!
