Jack has, and there must be something in that fixed-point-in-time-and-space-immortality that enables him not to end traumatized into a gibbering non-moving ball of pain, clearly. More seriously, I always did want to tackle Jack after CoE, but never dared to, because of the sheer enormity of what happened. So I looked for other stories back in the day and quickly gave up because, well, 99% of them let Jack deal solely with Ianto's demise. But that was years ago, and many fandoms happened since then, so when I joined this ficathon and read, for the first time in eons, a post CoE story in which Jack, etc., I thought: it's now or never, get thee to the computer, self, and write that story instead of expecting it from someone else.

You know me, I'm Ensemble Girl. I love the Children of Earth characters to bits, and as for Martha, not only do I love her, too, but when I thought the story through, "Jack should talk to Martha!" was the first thing that came to mind. Possible Master Return + Resurrection Ethics + Smart and Compassionate Point of View = Martha. Not to mention that due to her three Torchwood episodes, other than Jack himself she's the character most at home in both branches of the Whoeverse.
