of course she wrote it and her dads a dick !!!!!!

‘"I was eighteen," said Angharad again. "That meant I was a woman, in some people's eyes. Well—I was a woman when it was convenient to blame me, and a girl when they wanted to use me.”’

‘"Yes," she said. "I am Angharad Myrddin, née Blackmar. My husband has been dead for six months. My son, I imagine, has died along with his father's house. But in truth, like his father, he died months ago."’

GIRL WHAT DID I SAY

nvm it was the daughter he had an affair with

okay but what if the wife comes to save him ??

okay so the creep is actually the fairy king and there were no mirrors in the manor because they kill him…. okay

‘"There," lanto said, somehow even softer than before. "That's a good girl. Build something beautiful for both of us. I don't want to wait much longer. I've spent twelve mortal years looking for you, and now, finally, you've come home."’

he’s such a creep

‘"Call me mad if you like," Ianto said, and as he stepped for-ward, the chains rattled, "but all I see before me are a drowning foundation and two fatherless children."’

oh my god ????? so he’s trapped them both there so that the manor survives the drowning ?????

quite literally the calm before the storm… but that scene was so beautiful + soft + intimate + caring UGH i love their dynamic!!!

‘He kissed her, or she kissed him—it mattered only as much as it mattered whether the house was sinking or the sea was rising.
Once their lips touched, Effy could think of nothing else.’
