An extra Stephen drabble, because it would look lonely if I posted it all alone.
It's even 10% extra free, as I can't get it under 110 words.
No warnings; read it however you like :)
Inspired by a throwaway line in The Surgeon's Mate which has struck me whenever I've read it.

I'm glad you found the warmth. I think as long as Stephen can be sure of Jack, he'll be ok, even if he's sure of nothing else ;)

And that will never stop hurting. *hugs him*

And he really doesn't like being vulnerable.

That line always struck me too, and makes me wonder whether he gives his name as Stephen because that's who he is to Jack. What's in a name?

It must be partly a language thing - he's mostly operating in English, so that's the name he uses most.
But it does seem to be his default name for himself, which is interesting, as I'm not sure English is his default language. So yes, maybe.
