awwwww. I love Tosh's smile. This is excellent :)

Thank you! Tosh doesn't have enough chances to smile, and I imagine back then she *really* didn't. I'm afraid I slipped into sappiness, but, eh. I'm in the mood. :)

I don't think you did. But there's nothing wrong with a little sappiness!

This is beautiful! I love Jack and Tosh interacting, and you wrote Tosh really well in this.

rustydog December 6 2008, 20:30:53 UTC

Thank you very much! I really like writing Tosh.

I love Tosh's enthusiasm! She's great (and so is this).

rustydog December 6 2008, 20:31:54 UTC

:) Thank you. I started writing this for a drabble that needed to have the theme "joy" and Tosh was the first person to come to mind!

That was beautiful.

Whoooo-hoooo. Jack/Tosh. Tosh needs so much more love. Nice little ficlet.

rustydog December 6 2008, 22:19:59 UTC

Thank you so much! I agree, Tosh needs more love. And when Jack notices her, he can be really lovely with her. :)

I LOVE that little moment in Fragments when he's clearly doing some of the flirting with her. "You're good, baby." Something like that. But I also get that he's more gentle with her than any of the others. I wish he'd been more overt with her and Owen, although I SEE more Jack/Owen than most people. It would help take the curse off the J/I. I actually hurt for Tosh when she says "He'll shag anything if it's gorgeous enough," because the implication is that he hasn't shagged her and she perceives herself as not gorgeous enough.

::nods:: Me too. (I see Jack/Owen, too - wonderfully complicated and pissy, but definitely there, or the potential.)

I actually hurt for Tosh when she says "He'll shag anything if it's gorgeous enough,"

Ach, yes. And I think you've pegged the way she would think about that.
