...so a few days ago Nick and I were talking sci-fi shows, and I suggested, purely in jest, the image of Jack Harkness as the Earth Ambassador on Babylon 5, with Ianto Jones as his long-suffering aide/lover. Nick, instead of telling me I was utterly mad and changing the subject, told me I was utterly mad and then started coming up with ideas of what Jack would do on B5 (or, to be more exact, what trouble he would get into)
And thus, a new brainworm was born.
TITLE: 5 Times Earth Ambassador Harkness Had to Invoke Diplomatic Immunity Whilst on Babylon 5
FANDOM: Torchwood/B5
CHARACTERS: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Psi-Cop Alfred Bester, Kosh
RATING: PG-13
WORD COUNT: 173
SUMMARY: From the Babylon 5 security files...
AUTHOR'S NOTES: I'm not sure who to blame for this, but it came out of a crack-y discussion with my other half over the idea of Jack and Ianto surviving to the 23rd century in the B5 universe. Thanks go to my other half and to my friend Ardy for indulging and inspiring me, as well as correcting my B5 knowledge where necessary.
I don't have any claim over either Torchwood or Babylon 5, or any of its characters.
