A/N: Title used is ‘Symphony Of Illumination’

They’re a strange pair, a living dead man who’d lost hope and a woman who’d lost her reason to live. Yet here they stand, on a rooftop at night, thinking maybe they can go on after all.

Life’s not all darkness and despair; hope can be found in the unlikeliest of places. The future’s looking brighter for both of them, all because of a mysterious alien device; a message they can neither decipher nor comprehend.

It sings to them, a symphony comprised of ribbons of light, more beautiful than anything they’ve ever experienced, and it fills their hearts with wonder.

The End

Beautiful! I loved that scene too, although it was so sad :')

Lovely... I thought this was Owen's turning point in accepting his condition, albeit reluctantly. There's really not a lot of Owen stories that I've seen and I don't see him and Ianto or Jack ever getting together. Owen sometimes has all the charm of a porcupine firing off its quills in a hissy fit.

I like Owen like this, showing his compassionate, human side. It's really too bad the writers didn't let him start thawing earlier in the series and let him and Tosh get together. Instead they had to throw a doomed relationship with Diane at him. Tosh would have been so much better for him.

It remains one of my favorite Owen moments and yet oddly it also remains one of the top I loathe RTD ,with his head full of nothing but saint Gwen, because he never recognized what am amazing group of actors who did so much with so little.
End of rant. Great story.

the end of this episode was wonderful!
a message of hope from space. For once this is not the kind of Mars Attack!
