Great to see a new chapter. Wonderful to read Jack get some comfort and gentle touch. Hopefully he will be therepy soon.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday :)

I am glad that Jack and Ianto are on their way to at least being friends. And Tosh is great comfort althought she may become pregnant! Wow, that would be... interesting.

[ohinyan]

It's very unlikely that Tosh is pregnant, but I thought that any woman would worry about that after unprotected sex.

It hasn't occurred to Jack, since he has spent years having unprotected sex and doesn't even think about it anymore.

Yes, Ianto and Jack have a long way to go but they are getting back on track.

Great as always. And the Doctor keeps on hurting Jack. He really hasn't treated him very well at all -- worse than any of his other companions. I do hope you will (at some point) include the Doctor finding out the truth and having to deal with Jack. Especially since Jack is the one person he could keep as a friend when all the short-lived humans keep dying on him. He really should have some incentive to patching things up with Jack eventually.
I find the one I am feeling sorry for right now is the therapist. Can you imagine having THIS case dropped on your desk without warning? Talk about impossible jobs. If she's a caring person, she can hardly refuse -- I mean no one needs help more than Jack. But still, its got be a daunting task. She's got to be thinking, "How good am I really?".
And I am still hoping for a scene or two with the Queen. I was watching the Diamond Jubilee on TV and trying to imagine that old lady talking to Jack. Hard to imagine.

Thank you.

I think that in the series the Doctor did treat Jack worse than any other companion, though he wasn't perfect to all the others e.g. Peri. I exaggerate this in my stories because I was so annoyed with him.

The only scene I have written and not yet posted is the one where the Doctor and Jack meet up again. That will come later on in the story. I think I had it written before I even posted chapter 1. It might not be quite what you want, but it's there.

You're right. The poor therapist. And she can't just say try someone else.

I do have plans for a scene with the Queen, but as always it's taking forever for me to get there.

I think its great that someone watches the Jubilee and is thinking about Jack meeting her!! John Barrowman was on the lead (belfry boat). But the Queen meeting JB wouldn't be quite the same.

so happy to see this moving along so nicely. wow, that poor therapist is going to have some time figuring out what to treat first. I really like Tosh's thoughts about unprotected sex with Jack, including her somewhat small dilemma about what if?

I hope your holidays are great!

[ohinyan]

Thanks.

Indeed the poor therapist. It is an incredibly daunting task.

And as for Tosh, I just thought that any woman would worry about that when they realised. It would be very unlikely, and she could have gone for the morning after pill to make sure of no accidents. But I liked the idea that she wouldn't mind if it did happen.
