The Winners of the 7th Challenge Are... (with banners)
Due to the fact that my lovely sister is still a bit busy with work and the reasonably impatience of our darling members, I've decided to post the results without the banners (again). Once the banners are completed (I refuse to rush her and I advise you to do the same. You can't rush art or anyone related to me. Dire consequences follow), I'll edit the post with the banners and of course, I'll let you know when that 'edit' takes place.
Thank you to everyone who participated and voted on this challenge, it's greatly appreciated!
Title: The Prank

Jack waved as Tosh, Owen and Ianto left for the pub. Gwen wasn’t going; she’d wanted to stay with Rhys tonight. Jack wasn’t going because these little ‘bank holidays’ seemed insignificant now.
“Jack!” He turned to see Gwen grinning at him as she approached, bag over her shoulder, ready to go. “Come here!” She laughed. Jack shivered as she laid a hand on his back and - what was she doing?
All too quickly she removed her hand, holding a green sticky-note with a very rude cartoon of a leprechaun.
Jack rolled his eyes. “Remind me to murder Owen tomorrow?”

"So that really was a... leprechaun," Gwen breathed as they left the gold-filled cave.
"Yeah," he grinned at her, seeing her wide eyes take the revelation all too well.
"Well, at least he wasn't evil. You don't look surprised." She looked at him, taking his arm with ease as they walked away.
"Oh, I've known a few. You'd be surprised how convenient their height can be."
His smug smile left a lot to be interpreted and Gwen stopped on her tracks to stare at Jack's face.
She knew that expression.
That was a shagging expression.
"You didn't!"
Jack only laughed.

“I don’t understand,” She quietly mutters, scrunching her skirt in her hands. The smoke from the charred building is making her eyes water, but she can’t turn away.
“It’s probably best that you don’t.”
“After those things showed up, after… you burnt down my school! Tell me what’s going on!”
“Aliens,” Jack replies, surveying the damage. He remembers when they’d built this school, when they’d picked the same dark green plaid his schools uniforms are going to be.
“Aliens? Those things were…”
“Yeah… but you’re not ready yet Gwen.”
When everything starts to spin, he catches her before she falls.

“Does the coffee look green to you, Gwen?” Jack peered into his mug, looking somewhat bemused. Or maybe confused, as he raised his gaze. “Ianto, is this coffee green?”
“Yes.” Ianto nodded calmly, turning and starting up the stairs again. Jack and Gwen exchanged glances. After two steps he paused and called back over his shoulder. “For Saint Patrick’s Day.”
Gwen frowned at her mug, muttering under her breath as Ianto walked out of earshot. “I would’ve gone for some Irish creamer…”
Jack laughed, watching as a sip dyed her lips bright green, and gladly dyed his own lips green.

Mod's Choice from chris4short & luxuria_oceanus goes to "Happy St Patrick's Day Jack" by autumnrae89!
The 'Why': It is so very like Jack to look at people's joy of a holiday like it's this wonderful thing people should stop to look at (considering that they don't get a lot of happy days). It's also *so* very Jack to share that moment with Gwen :) So simple, soft sweetness and still so very them.
Green and white streamers and ribbons were launched into the air. Laughter sprung into the streets.
Jack grabbed Gwen’s hand with a boyish look of glee on his face. Gwen was bemused to say the least as Jack pulled her into the centre of the crowd. The people walked past them and said their hellos but continued on.
Gwen looked up at Jack, “Jack what are we doing?”
“You hear that?” Jack asked referring to everything around him. “That…is happiness. For no other reason that this day, every year. It‘s amazing.”
Gwen agreed, “You‘re right, Happy St Patrick’s day Jack.”
