*flailing*

*incoherent squeeing*

*abundant amounts of love*

OK, now that's out of my system...perfect, so Hugh and so Jack. I'm going to do more requests if this is the result! :)

Vaguely, he wondered if he'd have to put in a casualty report. Did it count if the casualty got up and walked away? It really is funny what goes through people's minds during moments of crisis. It's like, our heads can only take so much, and then they slip sideways for just a moment and think about completely inconsequential things.

"You wanna let go, or are we holding a hug-in?"...Any time you want more hugs, you know where to find me." Oh, Jack. *lines up for Jack-hugs*

It was hard to see the other man in the half-light of the hallway, but Hugh didn't need to. Jack was always going to be there, as far as he could tell, and he was faintly surprised to find that the thought made him smile. Awww! *squishes both of them*

I have much love for Jack and Hugh. Hugh trying not to freak out about Jack, and taking care of him, and Jack worried how Hugh will react and wanting to know that he's OK. The dynamic between them is just perfect.

And now I'm going to be smirking all day about the title. Yay for room for imagination!

Yay *happy dancing* I'm so glad you like it! I didn't realise before I started that I'd never actually written from Hugh's point of view before. He's really different to Hywel, but really similar, so it was hard to find his voice. Plus my betas couldn't agree, which didn't help ;)

One draft had a line about rabbits that I'm going to have to use elsewhere, but this kind of randomness is definitely 'panic-stations' thinking.

I think the queue for Jack-hugs is getting kind of long. We're using those posts that they have at theme parks From this point, you will be queuing for 1 lifetime. Ear-plugs will be issued to prevent damage from the anticipatory squeeing

The whole thing did rather turn into an exercise in innuendo, but I figure Jack likes to see how far he has to go to get a reaction out of Hugh - it's not easy!

Oh, and I love the icon! *more flailing*

[travels_in_time]

Oh, and it probably goes without saying that I love this line right here:

"You know, if you don't hurry up, I'm just going to have to get naked without you." Jack's voice carried through the empty house and probably halfway to Newport.

I mean, that is Jack all the way around. Ahoy there Captain Innuendo! And of course he doesn't care who hears him.

From this point, you will be queuing for 1 lifetime. *cries* I realize this is not a problem for Jack, as he has infinite time, but I only get a limited amount!

...and now I'm thinking that Jack has taken on a quest similar to Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged's one, only instead of insulting every single person in the universe, Jack's goal is to...well, you know.

That icon is yay for flailing purposes. Ten is such a fangirl squee-er.

Ahoy there Captain Innuendo!
writing Jack's easy. You just think of the most inappropriate thing to say in any given situation. Mind you, that sometimes goes for the Doctor as well...

And now that I've wiki'd for 'he of the improbable name' I can nod in agreement :)
