Title: Methuselahs.
Author: Prochytes.
Fandom: Torchwood/Doctor Who.
Rating: PG.
Characters/Pairing: The Face of Boe.
Disclaimer: All entities ampullate or otherwise in this fic belong to the Beeb.
Summary: An account of blessings.
Word Count: 100.
A/N: Spoilers for Torchwood 4x10 “The Blood Line”, and for Doctor Who “The End of the World”, “Gridlock”, and “Last of the Time Lords”.
The Time Lord missed the point, of course.
They never knew why he accepted the invitation to Platform One. He wanted to watch the void ransack that old planet’s core as he might once have rifled through a perp’s effects. To know for sure, at last, that no one else would have to endure his Blessing.
“The Face of Boe” was another’s title. But you learned early on that stealing a name was de rigueur, once you contracted immortality.
“You are not alone.” The Doctor did not spot the emphasis.
Now again, after so long, Rex knew Jack Harkness was.
