Why this must be read:

This is a gorgeous, angsty fix-it based on the end of Doctor Who's Season 5.

Ianto comes back to life, but doesn't get his life back. He makes a new start with Steven, who's in the same situation, and things seem to be going well enough, until suspicions from two different directions start to threaten the life they've built.

Excerpt: Ianto is happily, soundly asleep when he wakes to Richard flinging open the bedroom door, a dressing gown hastily thrown on. Before Ianto can process what's happening, he is already stumbling into his clothes and looking for his gun. He doesn't have a gun. This is a different life.

Steven is somewhere in the house, screaming.

Richard is already in the room with him, lights on, holding his shoulders. "It's all right," he says gently. "It's all right, your dad's here now."

Steven is also not awake yet, and he's looking around wildly for his dad, and Ianto's heart dims when his eyes pass over Ianto and keep looking.
