Summary: On nights such as this one, Jack would not desire to sit at Stephen's side for all the tea in China.
Lovely and convolutedly-logical Jack thoughts, a great mixture of the movie and the early books, and a beautiful intense realisation scene in just a few moments of contact. And metaphors! All of the metaphors! ^.^

Summary: It began when Jack caught him in a lie.
This story hits me right in the id-- both for h/c feels and for perfectly rendered magical realism that enhances and expands what can happen in canon. I love this universe. Beautiful writing and take on both characters, flaws and abilities and longings. So good! ♥♥
