At the Day’s End
Summary: Jack’s returned from the Year That Never Was, but rewriting the year doesn’t mean it never happened. Warning(s): ((possible triggers listed; highlight to read, or skip this warning)) rape, gang rape, implied torture, pregnancy arising from rape, abortion, m-preg, PTSD; everything warned for is non-explicit, but I prefer to err on the side of caution. No real spoilers, but somewhat AU for Season 2.

This is another epic story from Lazuli, this one set after the events of Series 2. Like “Attrition,” it’s long and plotty with interesting original characters and a nicely detailed story line. I enjoyed the characters a great deal and I also appreciated the mystery and plot twists that went along with it. Unfortunately, I felt that several major plot points hinged–unnecessarily, even–on the characters behaving rather stupidly, forgetting glaringly obvious problems or simply ignoring lines of inquiry. I did enjoy the story despite my frustration with those plot holes, but it was disappointing to have so many solid threads only to have the story falter on a couple of important points. All the same, this is a good adventure, with some powerful and poignant insights into Jack and Ianto’s relationship.
