Review:
Beautiful fic - Tosh is canonically interested in alien/future languages and in this story, her talks with Jack about his background lead to him giving her a couple of books in a 51st century language he knows. One of the books is poetry. This fic is about her work translating it, how it affects/reflects on her relationships with Jack, Ianto, and Suzie, and a little bit about her sense of their places/roles in life (the universe, and everything). I really like this fic so even though I've already posted today's rec, I felt compelled to rec this one as soon as I'd finished it.
