Why this must be read:
This is a CoE fix-it where Ianto doesn't die in Thames House, but it's not a feel-good AU. The story keeps to the themes of the original canon, and leaves us with an ending that's just as grim, but just a bit more open and hopeful than the original.
The Ianto of this story, as shown through flashbacks, is the shop-lifting, head-butting, working-class boy from the wrong side of town, who twenty years earlier would have been in that 10%, and the choices he makes here are consistent with that history, and very much in character.
So, yes, things go differently, and better in many ways, and while the ending is bleak, it isn't totally dark, and the possibility of future happiness is left open, which is all I ask from a good fix-it.
