That must be a very constricting feeling, one we mere 21st-century mortals can't fully comprehend. Poor Jack.

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, though I doubt even another Time Agent could fully understand because Jack's lifespan is going to be measured in millennia, when he uses the word 'eternity' it's not an exaggeration.

Thank you.

Aww *Hugs poor Jack*

I had an idea to use the wrist strap for one of my leather fills too... you beat me to it :-(
Mine will have a bit of a happier ending for Jack though :-)

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, poor Jack, waiting for so long just to be told he's 'Wrong' and the Doctor can hardly bear to look at him =(

Looking forward to seeing your take on it! Happy endings are good =)

Thank you.

Poor Jack. *wibbles back to work*

[badly_knitted]

Sorry to make you wibble at work!

It's tough to be Jack.

Thank you.

In the end though he found out he was where he belonged.

Great drabble.

[badly_knitted]

Eventually he did, but it took Ianto to make him fully realise that.

Thank you.

Waiting for 100+ years must have been so hard - especially since he hadn't lived for that long ever before.

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, it must have been the most difficult time of his life, suddenly finding himself not just stranded, but immortal and stuck on earth 100+ years earlier than he'd planned, knowing he would have to wait over a century for the Doctor.

It didn't really get any better when the Doctor DID eventually showe up either.

Thank you.
