Typically James hosts, considering Skyfall manor is the only place large enough to fit them all. However, it was rather recently...blown up. Yeah.

La fin justifie les moyens. L'échec n'est pas une option. Il y a toujours un choix, sauf quand il n'y en a pas. Ce sont les mots qui régissent la vie de Ianto Jones et il refuse de permette à quiconque, même au capitaine Jack Harkness de changer cela.Jack/Ianto. AU.TRADUCTION DE LA FIC DE ZEPHYRAS.
