OH KIDS

I tend to be in fandoms for the fandom rather than the source. I'll reread fics far, far more often than I'll rewatch TV episodes. But oh MAN, I've probably said this before and will probably say it again -- "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is one of my favorite episodes of any TV show, ever. Blowfish in a sports car! "Bloody Torchwood!" Captain John Hart! Ianto legitimately having things to do! The date conversation! Stopwatch! Barrowman's eyebrows! It's just a genuinely well-written, engaging, campy piece of television, and it makes me gleeful every time.

Also, when one is writing an absurdly long fic, it does help to revisit the source every now and again. I'm starting to veer too far in the fanon!Ianto direction; reminding myself who canon!Ianto is helps a lot.

God, I miss THIS show. Tosh and Owen and Ianto and the freaking Hub, guys, seriously.
