Oh my god! I just found this fic and I think that ending makes it the saddest fixit I've ever read.
This is a real bastard!Jack you've created here and it is absolutely awesome seeing all the romantic tropes broken into tiny pieces and crushed. I'm amazed actually how you managed to do it and make it fit canon. Starting right from the beginning with the assertion that you can't con a conman, and that Jack wasn't conned and on it went from there. What an amazing idea. Fantastic fic, but I really hate your take on Jack.
Wow. I really don't know how to cope with the way I want to congratulate you and hiss at you at the same time. I think possibly only RTD has ever given me this feeling before. Amazing.
