Gorgeous. Wrenching, but absolutely well done to do so. You really had to *feel* for Daniel, even as he couldn't for himself. Thanks for sharing!
Also, you should know that this has shown up in Torchwood under the user wickedplotbunny, but someone is pointing it out on your behalf. Truly wonderful story though.
Author's Response: Thank you :) And I was already aware of the plagiarism - someone mailed me about it today - but thank you for alerting me :)
