Guh! This is completely made of win. I *love* Countrycide, it's by far my favorite episode. And this has got to be one of the best post-CC I've ever seen. If not the best.
It's amazing how you've captured all of their reactions to the events of the episode so well, even in making a fic that's supposed to be centered around Ianto. Gwen doing researches on the matter and bringing in sociological explanations to ease her discomfort seemed so very, very, extremely, absurdly her. This could very well be canon. And I might've just turned it into my personal one, because I'm one to think that the leap in Jack and Ianto's relationship from I hate you and I want you to die a painful death and lots of things you can do with a stopwatch has got to be explained by the context of Countrycide. At least that's what I think. Maybe because I love the episode so much that I tend to attach a lot more significance to it than it should have, but anyway. It makes sense, and even more in your writing!

I absolutely loved this. You're fantastic.
