Haha, not at all! Despite the sad, there was nothing disappointing about the fic, whereas I was a little let down by BSG. (Shall say no more/not spoil anyone here.)

I'm trying to keep calm about Ianto, what with the whole "epilogue" and the s.2 story planned... But still. Fret. XD

I guess I see Jack as having gone for who the Master was currently attacking, and it not meaning anything more than that. I'm biased to the Jack's practical side, I guess. This is just another example of how we should have like discussion groups on your fic where everyone squeaks about it to each other.
