I love your Nine and Jack interaction. Very nice! Honestly, I could take or leave the slash with them, their banter is so satisfying by itself! And love the friendship and comradery.

Thanks!

I loved their relationship dearly. I will always feel a little bitter that Jack never got to confront Nine in canon.

Yeah, but I think that Nine would have gone back for him. In my mind, Nine didn't really realize he was leaving Jack behind because he was regenerating. I blame Ten for leaving Jack. That may be unfair, but I find it hard to believe that Nine would ever do that to Jack. Nine *hearts* Jack. :)

Hm. Interesting - I haven't thought about it like that. Although I don't like the Jack/Ten relationship as much - it seems a bit colder somehow. Kind of stupid to say, given what happened since they last saw it each other, but it's not as playful, they don't seem to work as well together.

I agree; it IS colder. Ten thinks that Jack is wrong wrong wrong, etc. Besides, unfortunately in the episodes that Jack and Ten were in together, Ten only had eyes for the Master. Which I guess is all right, since I ship Ten/Master, but kind of sucks when I want to ship Jack/Doctor. (I'm a multi-shipper, I can't help it.) The dynamic between Nine and Jack had much more chemistry. If it had been Nine in the arc with the Master, Nine would have been all "I'm gonna take you down."
And the Master would have been "How exactly?"
And then Nine would say "Like THIS"
And then Nine would totally be a BAMF and take down the Master and his evil plans. There would have been no Year That Never Was, Jack would not have been tortured for a year, and Nine and Jack would kiss and then go on more adventures with Martha. They would have even let Martha join in, because Jack and Nine are cool like that.

Oops, long response is long. :)

Long response is long but interesting!

Say it loud and proud! Fandom in general needs more multishippers.

Point, though; the main things Jack got out of that arc was abandoning the Torchwood team to make for drama later and realising that he doesn't want to go around with the Doctor any more. Whether that's because it's not Nine, or because in the past hundred or so years he's grown out of him (though I'm sure Eleven could fix that!)

It's funny that you say that - Nine/Martha is a favourite little crack ship of mine, and one of the reasons I want there to be an episode with multiple Doctors a la The Five Doctors. I want to see what they would make of each other! I really need to write that fic...
